Pycharm: run only part of my Python file

I found out an easier way.

  • go to File -> Settings -> Keymap
  • Search for Execute Selection in Console and reassign it to a new shortcut, like Crl + Enter.

This is the same shortcut to the same action in Spyder and R-Studio.


Pycharm shortcut for running "Selection" in the console is ALT + SHIFT + e
