How do I open a script file in editor???

Answered

clion for mac 2020.2

I have a file "my_thing"     (no extension)   

has hashbang:  #!/usr/bin/python

 

I want to EDIT the darn thing!!!

From the project menu, It is there along with all the other files. But when I click on it it executes it.  I WANT To EDIT, not EXECUTE! 

 

HELP.

Thanks

Can't reproduce that. 

How the IDE recognizes the file? May you select the file in Project View and call "Quick Documentation" action to check that? Like this: https://i.imgur.com/EBJL9pn.png

By the way, IntelliJ IDEA does not recognize the file by hashbang. Here is the feature request for that: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-227299

In case, you need the file to exist without extension, please mark it as Python file manually (Associate with file type in context menu of the file): https://i.imgur.com/5Wg8FRd.png
