How to force the active Pycharm editor window to update it's intellisense

Hi All,

I noticed that quite often the PyCharm editor lags behind.

Examples

  • Intellisense at the imports level or at a method level does not show up
  • If I comment out a line of source code, then the coloration remains unchanged. I would expect the line to appear faded.

It works, if I close and re-open PyCharm.

Is there any short-cut key which will force PyCharm to “refresh” - as opposed to completely shutting down and re-launching.

 

Thanks,

Sau

Hi Saurabh Dasgupta1

As a general troubleshooting step and to rule out already resolved issues, please try updating to the latest Release Candidate version and see if the problem still occurs.

If that doesn't help, try disabling all non-bundled plugins via File | Settings | Plugins | ⚙ | Disable all downloaded plugins.

Should the issue persist, please create a new ticket on YouTrack (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/PY) and include all relevant details, such as a screen recording or screenshots, along with IDE logs from Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data, to help us investigate it more efficiently.
