Why I cannot type in the text editor of scratch files?

Answered

I've just installed PyCharm Professional Edition 2018.2.4 and have the latest version of Python (3.6.5) as my project interpreter. I've made a new project called "Hello World" and I can type in it.

But when I establish a new scratch file under the 'Scratches and Consoles', I can't type in any letter in the text editor of that scratch.py file. The text cursor appears but every time I hit a button it just makes a sound. How do I fix this?

BTW, I haven't purchased the licence yet. And I am installing your IDE on Windows 10.

Hi,

Do you have a Vim Emulator enabled? (Tools | Vim Emulator)

If so, then disabling it would fix the issue.
