Search in PyCharm interactive console command history

Question

PyCharm keeps a command history for it's interactive Python console.

Is there a way to access this history with some sort of search instead of just browsing the entries with the arrow keys in the interactive console window?

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

Solution 1

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

• PY-5011 Ctrl+R in console should invoke history search like in bash

Solution 3

Nowadays, there is "Browse Console History" button located to the left of python console. It works on all OS where PyCharm works.

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

Solution 4

In Windows you can use Ctrl Alt e

Just to follow-up. This is now available in the PyCharm Python Console. The feature is called Browse History. (I use PyCharm 3.1 EAP.)

I know this is an old question, but this still doesn't seem to be working. I'm using PyCharm Community Edition 4.5.4. Ctrl+E nor Ctrl+R work.

Does anyone know the windows or linux keyboard shortcut here?

In Windows, it appears to be Ctrl + Alt + E
