504 PointsHow to Quickly Open Files in Workspaces?
Hello,
I am currently on the learning python course. When I am in workspaces, I waste quite a lot of time typing in the shell e.g. python ShoppingList.py each time I want to run my program. I try copying and pasting this into the shelll but does not work. Is there a hotkey/shortcut to run the program again?

If you press the up arrow on your keyboard, you can access previous commands that you have run in the console. It will keep track of your history of commands in the current session. But as soon as you close the workspace, your history will be cleared.
But there is a way to copy and paste if you really need to, and that is by right-clicking with the mouse in the console to bring up a standard context menu. You can't use ctrl-c or ctrl-v in the console.
Hope this helps.
