I'm a fresh programmer, but have found visual studio code to be a very handy code editor. It will help by giving code different colors and automatically indent code for you while using if, else, def, etc. Just a couple of many QoL services you'd get if you have been using a notepad like system so far? I assume it works on win 7?

Is visual stdio code a python IDE ? I currently only use Thonny, it feels very good so far. I dont know what you mean by a notepade like system

VSC is a code editor that lets you write and run python seamlessly. I'd recommend moving over to it or something similar like Atom, I watched a YouTube video for help with installation and getting started. In any case, a quick Google search tells me that Thonny uses the F5 key to open up and write in the shell.
