Click the Settings button in the main toolbar of Pycharm, and select the Plugins page under the IDE Settings interface. All plug-ins installed under the current platform will be displayed.

4. Changes after restart

Both Vim and Pycharm are text editing software based on keyboard input. The shortcut key settings of the corresponding IdeaVim plug-in are likely to conflict with the shortcut key settings of Pycharm, which is why Pycharm needs Re-create a Vim version of the shortcut key scheme based on the existing shortcut key configuration.

When Pycharm restarts, you will see the Vim Keymap settings dialog box, where you can select a shortcut key configuration scheme. As the shortcut key scheme in the current Vim environment:

We select the default configuration here, click OK, and you can see that Pycharm has created a new shortcut key configuration:

Next, check the shortcut key setting interface again. Click the Settings button to enter the Settings dialog box, and click the Keymap page under IDE Settings. In the corresponding shortcut key configurationdrop-down list, a solution name named Vim will appear, which defines some default shortcut key combinations, such as Ctrl+V for paste, etc.:

However, there is a more important Pycharm interface setting. Click Tools in the main toolbar, select the Vim Emulator command:

When you install the IdeaVim plug-in, this command is selected by default (there is a check mark in front of it), which means that the current Vim emulator is available. If you uncheck it, Pycharm will return to the normal shortcut key state; if you check it again, Pycharm will reload the Vim version of the shortcut key configuration plan:

Now, we can edit in Vim mode. At this time, our input cursor is a small black block, which means we are currently in Normal mode:

If you want to change to Insert mode, press the i key and the cursor will change to a vertical line:

In this mode, you can enter new codes or modify the current codes. Of course, you can also choose other modes, such as pressing the r key to enter Replace input mode.
