JetBrains Settings

Most of these settings can be imported from the jetbrains/settings.zip file.

Git Commit UI

Use the traditional Git Commit UI

IDE Setting -> Version Control -> Commit -> Use non-modal commit interface

KeyMap

These KeyMap settings are done with a full-length desktop keyboard in mind.

• F19: Run File in Python Console
• F16: Refactor: Rename
  • This is in addition to the default (⇧ + F6) keymap
• (⌘ + ⇧ + P): Git Pull

Default Keymaps Worth Mentioning:

• (⌘ + ⇧ + K): Git Commit
• (⌥ + ⌘ + L): Reformat Code
• (⌘ + B): Jump to Usages / Definition
