How to run the code in the active tab in PyCharm?

Question

I know it is not that cleaver question, however I am pretty new to PyCharm and Python.

So as the question tells, I would like to make a shortcut to run the code in the active tab without going to the window "Edit Configurations" and change the running script manually.

I use OS 10.9.1, PyCharm edition 3.0.2

Answer 1

You can simply right click and run:

Answer 2

Go "Settings -> Project Interpreter -> Python Interpreter" and add your interpreter (the green '+' at up right corner of "settings" windows).

Then, already will available the green Play button (together the 'bug' icon) to run your project from Pycharm.

Answer 3

For MacOS (10.5 keymap):

Ctrl + Shift + R

Not sure why the windows answer was accepted...

Answer 4

Sorry for being so late but I was having the same problem. Maybe will help others in the future.

In PyCharm version 2021.2.1 go to:

File --> Settings --> Keymap --> Run Context Configuration --> Right Click --> Add Keyboard Shortcut.
