Cannot type in terminal window

Question

I cannot type in the terminal window on PyCharm after updating to windows 10. This may be a compatibility issue, I am not sure. Has anyone else encountered this problem on windows 10, and also does anyone know how to fix it?

Solution 1

I solved it.

Type cmd, and open the properties dialog. Check the option: "Use legacy console (requires relaunch)". You just need to close and open a new terminal in pycharm and it works. By doing this you will lose the caracteristics of the new windows terminal.

Have fun!

Solution 2

Do this it worked for me. Go to tools in the top menu bar and uncheck Vim Emulator.

Solution 3

If anyone else has this issue I recommend using the regular windows terminal for now, or if you just need to run some manage.py tasks then hit Ctrl+Alt+R in PyCharm and use that window instead.
