Enable code highlights for editable installed package
Pycharm seems to show no code highlights on a locally editable installed package is there a way to turn it on?
The best I've managed to do is to mark the package directory as source root and installing it (pip install -e) without updating the editor's list of installed packages but I do hope something better is available.

Do you mean you don't have code completion for that package or just code highlighting is missing? Could you share a screenshot?
Sergey Karpov I have completions but not highlighting, errors/warning marks and such.
A simple example -
This is how it looks when I have the package installed locally (-e) -
Then when I uninstall it is as normal again -
Do you have Reader Mode enabled by any chance? https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/reader-mode.html
Yes I just noticed that little read mode button in the top, disabling reader mode for my package got it as I wanted.
Thanks Sergey Karpov!
