Configuring PyCharm settings

Last modified: 09 September 2022

In PyCharm, you can configure the settings on two levels: the project level and globally.

Types of settings

Global settings apply to all projects that you open with a specific installation or version of PyCharm. Such settings include IDE appearance (themes, color schemes, menus and toolbars), notification settings, the set of the installed and enabled plugins, debugger settings, code completion, and so on.

To configure your IDE, select PyCharm | Preferences for macOS or File | Settings for Windows and Linux. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Alt+S or click the Settings/Preferences button on the toolbar.

Settings that are NOT marked with the For current project icon in the Settings/Preferences dialog are global and apply to all existing projects of the current PyCharm version.
