Keymap
Use this page to search for shortcuts and actions in the selected keymap, create, edit, and remove custom keymaps, and change shortcuts associated with actions in custom keymaps. Predefined keymaps are not editable. When you change shortcut associations for a predefined keymap (listed in bold), PyCharm creates a copy of that keymap, which you can modify (listed in regular font with an indent below the parent keymap).

---|---|
Show F1, F2, etc. keys on the Touch Bar | The option is available only on Apple MacBook Pro models with a Touch Bar. It is disabled by default, so you have to hold down the Fn key to see function keys. Enable it to always show function keys on the Touch Bar instead of controls specific to PyCharm. For more information, see Touch bar support. |
Use national layout for shortcuts | The option is available only when using a non-English Latin keyboard layout. On macOS and Windows, it is enabled by default, and all characters are interpreted as determined by the layout. For Windows, this behavior is hard-coded, and you can't disable it. On Linux, it is disabled by default, and keys with special characters are interpreted as if you were using an English keyboard layout. For example, pressing the minus key |
Use US non-alphanumeric keys for shortcuts | The option is available on Windows when using a Cyrillic layout. It is disabled by default. Enable it to map IDE actions to OEM keyboard characters as if it were an English keyboard layout. |
