Intention actions
As you work in the editor, PyCharm analyzes your code, searches for ways to optimize it, and detects potential and actual problems.
As soon as the IDE finds a way to alter your code, it displays a yellow bulb icon 
in the editor next to the current line. By clicking this icon, you can view intention actions available in the current context. Intention actions cover a wide range of situations from warnings to optimization suggestions. You can view the full list of intentions and customize them in the Settings dialog Control+Alt+S.
A red bulb with an exclamation mark 
indicates that PyCharm has detected a problem, and prompts you to select an associated fix — a quick-fix. Quick-fixes and intention actions together are called context actions.
Apply intention actions
Place the caret at the code element that you want to modify. Then click the light bulb icon (or press Alt+Enter) to open the list of suggestions.
For example, PyCharm provides an intention that converts
.format()calls andprintf-style formatting to f-string literals.Intention preview opens automatically. If an intention is complex, and the preview cannot be generated, you will see the intention description. hover over available intentions on the suggestion list to preview them.
Press Enter or click an intention on the list to apply it.
The way f-string literals appear in the Editor depends on the corresponding Color Scheme settings. In the Settings dialog (Control+Alt+S), navigate to , select in the list of components, and modify the available settings if needed.
You can toggle the preview off and on by pressing Control+Q or by enabling Show preview for intention actions when available in Settings (Control+Alt+S) .
Assign a shortcut to an intention
If you want to apply intention actions quicker, you can assign shortcuts to them. Currently, you cannot assign shortcuts to fixes that belong to code inspections.
In the editor, place the caret at the code that triggers the intention action for which you want to assign a shortcut, and click the bulb icon or press Alt+Enter.
A list of available suggestions opens.
In the list, click
next to the necessary intention and from the menu that opens, select Assign shortcut….
In the dialog that opens, specify the shortcut that you want to use for this action and click OK.
After that you won't need to open the list of suggestions to apply this intention action in the editor; you will be able to do it right away by pressing the configured shortcut.
You can find all your custom intention action shortcuts in settings: press Control+Alt+S, click Keymap, and locate the Intentions category.
