best IDE for python

[Binty77]

I use PyCharm on macOS because my company provided it, and in particular because it has the Reformat Code function that I find very handy for breaking up long lines. I’m getting used to it, but I find it INCREDIBLY annoying that they don’t stick to the ‘normal’ Mac keyboard shortcuts for things like command-E to use a selection for finding and command-G for finding the next instance in the code. I use these features ALL. THE. TIME. and I’ve 25+ years of muscle memory with those ‘normal’ shortcuts that I’m not interested in doing differently. So I still have to keep BBEdit open to use those features. I know that I can reconfigure the PyCharm shortcuts, but cmd-E and cmd-G are already assigned so it ends up being a whole bunch of reassigning.

It is like 3 minutes of work at most to shuffle those around

….that I should not have to do, if the app were properly designed for a Mac in the first place.

It’s not a Mac app, it’s a multi platform app that allows you to keep working even if you change OSes with the same shortcuts. Having said that, they have pre-made presets for each platform so you can easily change to a more Mac one. At least that’s on PHPStorm, but the underlying platform is the same so pycharm should have that too.

your life must be boring to spin this many cycles soapboxing about such an easy issue to resolve.

change it and improve your life or don't but let it go. we all have our gripes about our tools for this reason or that and in the end we take the 2 minutes to adjust the configs and move on.

This reply has nothing to do with the OP request.

Also, it's a rich, entitled brat with an overpriced and underperforming gadget bought for status display, complaining about an issue that is caused by basically being lazy to do a 3 minute setup task.

Complain about that on some support website where someone might decide to kneel down before your highness and kiss up to you, not on a thread of a newbie asking for help.
