How to reset Spyder IDE GUI (Python 2.7)?

Question

I am trying to use the reset interface, which I tried to execute incorrectly.

I could not find it in the settings. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. Bad luck.

Can you help me reset it?

Thanks.

Answer 1

(Spyder-dev is here)

We will enable the reset spyder configuration method from the user interface in the next version (3.0.0).

---

In the meantime, you can reset open a terminal window (cmd in the Windows shell .. on Mac / Linux) and type

spyder --reset

If this still does not work, you can delete the .spyder folder in your user folder

Windows X:\Users\username\.spyder2\ (or X:\Users\username\.spyder\ )

Linux \home\username\.spyder2\ (or \home\username\.spyder\ )

Answer 2

I am using Spyder 3.1.2

Just go to View -> Window Layouts -> Reset to Spyder default .

Answer 3

For those who have problems restoring the default settings, open a terminal and enter:

 rm -r ~/.spyder 

Answer 4

I am using Spyder 2.3.9. I was able to reset windows using View -> Reset Layout Window.

The original post may be in the old version, where this parameter was not!

Answer 5

Tools -> Reset Spyder for Factory Default. Tested on Spyder 3.1.4

Answer 6

I found a way to solve this problem (it works for me) I had a problem that there were 2 separate windows (I tried to view reset, but it did not work), and I could not move one of them. My way was to drag the motionless window a little more (I tried to resize it), then this window became movable for me, and I could drag it to another one to get the default view again. Perhaps this works for someone just wanted to share. (3.2.4)
