Intro

PyCharm on Mac uses Cmd as its primary modifier for most editing and navigation, the same as other Mac apps. A handful of platform-level actions break that pattern: Refactor This is plain Ctrl+T, not a Cmd chord.

Mac-specific shortcut notes

Search Everywhere. Double-tap Shift from anywhere to search files, actions, symbols, and settings in one box.

Tool windows follow Mac numbering. Cmd+1 opens Project, Cmd+9 opens Version Control, matching how macOS apps typically number their panels.

Word and line navigation uses Option and Cmd, not Ctrl. Option+Left/Right moves by word, Cmd+Left/Right moves to the start or end of the line, the standard macOS text-editing pattern.

Refactor This. Ctrl+T opens a menu of every refactoring available at the caret, rename, extract, move, safe delete, and more.

Printable PDF

The PyCharm macOS shortcut list is available as a printable PDF. Search Everywhere, Refactor This, and the run/debug shortcuts are the ones worth learning first.
