Search the PyCharm Management Shell History

Question

PyCharm stores command history for the Python interactive console.

Is there a way to access this story with some kind of search, and not just browse through the entries using the arrow keys in the interactive console window?

My environment: PyCharm 2.7 EAP (124.138) on MacOS X 10.8.2.

Answer 1

While not available, vote on the appropriate feature requests:

• PY-7922 In the console, search history by typing a prefix and pressing the up key
• PY-5011 Ctrl + R in the console should refer to a history search, for example, in bash

Answer 2

As in PyCharm 3.1, while press ⌥⌘e in the console, the "Browse History" window appears, start typing to search for specific commands

Answer 3

On Windows you can use Ctrl Alt e

Answer 4

There is currently a View Console History button to the left of the Python console. It works on all OSs where PyCharm works.

On Windows and Linux, there is Ctrl + Alt + E, which does the same thing, but it may not work on Linux if it is overridden by the Alt system hotkey.
