1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,670
And lastly, I just wanna cover a couple
of the other features in the PyCharm and

2
00:00:04,670 --> 00:00:08,440
these are not necessarily the most
handy or useful things but,

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,840
there are good things to know about and

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,480
that you'll use often on
throughout your coding in PyCharm.

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,930
Down at the bottom, here you do have
access to a terminal and a Python console,

6
00:00:17,930 --> 00:00:23,610
both of which use What you're used to,
nothing different there.

7
00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:27,970
And then also if you go to Help,
there is this tip of the day,

8
00:00:27,970 --> 00:00:30,000
which you can turn on you can tell
it to show these at start up.

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,960
It's kind of nice,

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,230
because it'll show you a tip at
the beginning of your PyCharm session.

11
00:00:35,230 --> 00:00:37,450
You can also hit next tip and
previous tip.

12
00:00:37,450 --> 00:00:40,230
to move back and forth through the tips.

13
00:00:40,230 --> 00:00:44,260
And it's a great way to kind of
learn a little bit about the editor.

14
00:00:44,260 --> 00:00:47,860
Along that same line under Help,
is the productivity guide.

15
00:00:47,860 --> 00:00:52,300
So the productivity guide is more of,
these are all those different features

16
00:00:52,300 --> 00:00:54,270
which you can see right
here under features.

17
00:00:54,270 --> 00:00:57,790
And they tell you when you've used them,
and how many times you've used them.

18
00:00:57,790 --> 00:01:02,280
So if you're like, I want to do,
I dont' know, recent changes.

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,900
Then you can click on this and
it shows you how to find it, though it's

20
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:10,240
option shift c, and this will show you
all of your recent changes on a project.

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,190
So you can be like, I want to be sure and
use that, and then go ahead and use it.

22
00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:15,670
It's really kind of handy.

23
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:19,590
Another one that's really good to explore,
and I can't go too far in this, but

24
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:22,660
I'll do a little bit,
is this refractor menu.

25
00:01:22,660 --> 00:01:25,420
So if I go up here to Refactor, this
lets me do a bunch of different stuff.

26
00:01:26,450 --> 00:01:29,920
And one of the things that I find myself
doing most of the time, is renaming it.

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,220
So I'm gonna hit Rename on say_hello, and

28
00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:37,660
I'm gonna have it change this to
print_howdy, cuz that's what we're doing.

29
00:01:37,660 --> 00:01:42,920
And then I'm gonna say Refactor,
and my term down here is like hey,

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,950
you've got it here, and
I'm gonna say yeah, do that refactor.

31
00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:49,700
And it changed both of those names.

32
00:01:49,700 --> 00:01:53,650
So they now both say,
print howdy instead of say hello.

33
00:01:53,650 --> 00:01:58,620
So it makes it to where you can quickly
rename a function in multiple places.

34
00:01:58,620 --> 00:01:59,520
Or a variable.

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,220
Or a class.

36
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:01,020
Or anything else.

37
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:04,140
And it'll look across multiple file
to change it in all the places

38
00:02:04,140 --> 00:02:05,540
that you've used it.

39
00:02:05,540 --> 00:02:09,520
So hopefully you can explore PyCharm and
find some other really handy features.

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,430
If you find something
that you really love,

41
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:13,800
be sure to share it in the community so
other people can find it too.

42
00:02:15,330 --> 00:02:19,190
For a lot of developers tools like PyCharm
are just too heavy, they hold your hand

43
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:22,740
too much, or make coding feel like you're
just pushing Lego pieces together.

44
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:25,210
In fact, that used to be my opinion too.

45
00:02:25,210 --> 00:02:29,150
I used TextMate, Sublime Text, Vim and
Emacs for years, because I liked

46
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:33,470
the feeling of using a lightweight,
extensible editor to write my code.

47
00:02:33,470 --> 00:02:36,400
But I noticed that over time
my editor became more and

48
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,280
more bogged down with plugins and
extensions to fill little niches.

49
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,740
I've been using PyCharm pretty heavily for
the past half year or so,

50
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:44,050
and I wish I'd used it sooner.
