This is unrelated but I love PyCharm and have only switched recently. I just wish there was an obvious way to open a terminal in window like on VSCode, there may be and I just don’t know it, but alt tabbing works fine for now

There is a terminal tab at the bottom of PyCharm.

Terminal windows are built into Pycharm. They also automatically open with the project's virtualenv for each terminal instance which is great.

The documentation on the part of PyCharm: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/terminal-emulator.html https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/terminal-emulator.htm... One of the neat things with JetBrains IDEs is the 'help' menu. More than once I've done a "go to that menu and just start typing what I'm looking for" Typing 'terminal' in that menu and then selecting the spot where it can be accessed from brings up the appropriate menu - https://i.imgur.com/Z3u4grB.png https://i.imgur.com/Z3u4grB.png Also, for me (there may be some other settings that I've got from other installs), at the bottom bar, left hand side the defaults are: "TODO", "Problems", "Terminal", and "Python Console". Selecting "Terminal" will launch a default shell. The "Python Console" brings up an interactive mode REPL. And yes, there is a lot of tooling in JetBrains IDEs that are... in days of old it would be "here's a 300 page manual that no one reads." The Help Menu is incredibly useful for finding things - even experienced users. https://i.imgur.com/4duykxh.png https://i.imgur.com/4duykxh.png - the IDE Features Trainer and Productivity Guide are really useful for discovery.

There is a tab at the bottom. If you can't see it, there you can trigger using Alt+F12.
