## Extensions
### [Darcula Theme from Pycharm](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Bobronium.darcula-from-pycharm)

Semantic & Linting Highlighting, Templates & RegEx support and more.

### [IntelliJ IDEA Keybindings](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=k--kato.intellij-idea-keybindings)

See [Keybinds](#keybinds) to learn more.

### [PyColonize](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fertigt.pycolonize) — automatically add colon at the end of the line

- `⌘` `Enter` — add colon and continue on the new line
- `⇧` `Enter` — add colon and continue on the same line
- `⌘` `⌥` `Enter` — add colon and stay at the same position

By default shortcut will work only with Python files. If you want to mimic this behaviour in other languages as well, but without a colon, add following to `keybindings.json`:

```js
    {
        "key": "cmd+enter",
        "command": "editor.action.insertLineAfter",
        "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly && editorLangId != 'python'"
    },
```

### [Python Paste And Indent](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hyesun.py-paste-indent)

### Helpers

#### [multi-command](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ryuta46.multi-command) — for [Comment line and move cursor down](#comment-line-and-move-cursor-down)

## Settings

### Linting highlights

```js
    "python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,
    "python.linting.mypyEnabled": true,
    
    // - highlights
    // Pycharm has Error, Warning, Weak Warning
    // VSCode has  Error, Warning, Information
    // TODO: This should be better adjusted
    "python.linting.flake8CategorySeverity.F": "Information",
    "python.linting.flake8CategorySeverity.E": "Warning",
    "python.linting.flake8CategorySeverity.W": "Information",
    "python.linting.mypyCategorySeverity.note": "Information",
    "python.linting.mypyCategorySeverity.error": "Information",
    "python.linting.pycodestyleCategorySeverity.E": "Information",
```

### Enable indexing (better auto -suggestions and -import)

```js
    "python.analysis.indexing": true,
```

### Increase depths for import suggestions

```js
    "python.analysis.packageIndexDepths":[
            ["", 2],
            ["package_name", 3],
    ],
```

**Note:** Requires Pylance, **explanation:** <https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/291#issuecomment-1015880138>

### Make speed scroll closer to one in PyCharm

```js
    "editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity": 0.35,
```

Tested on MacBook's touchpad

### Use [JetBrains Mono](https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/) Font

```js
    "editor.fontFamily": "JetBrains Mono",
```

**Note:** download and install it on your system first

### Adjust line height

```js
    "editor.lineHeight": 1.7, // matches PyCharm with JetBrains Mono
```

**Note:** tested with [JetBrains Mono font](#use-jetbrains-mono-font)

### Adjust letter spacing

```js
    "editor.letterSpacing": -0.4, // matches PyCharm with JetBrains Mono
```

**Note:** tested with [JetBrains Mono font](#use-jetbrains-mono-font)

### Enable auto save for files

```js
    "files.autoSave": "afterDelay",
```

### Add project root, src and tests dir to `PYTHONPATH` by default

```js
    "terminal.integrated.env.osx": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}:${workspaceFolder}/src:${workspaceFolder}/tests"
    },
    "code-runner.executorMap": {
        "python": "PYTHONPATH=${workspaceFolder}:${workspaceFolder}/src:${workspaceFolder}/tests ${pythonPath} -u ${fullFileName}"
    },
    "python.envFile": "~/.vscode/.env",
```

Then create `~/.vscode/.env`:

```bash
PYTHONPATH=${env:PROJ_DIR}:${env:PROJ_DIR}/src:${env:PROJ_DIR}/tests:${env:PYTHONPATH}
```

**Note:** change colons to semicolons on Windows and `.osx` to `.<your system>`

### Use black formatter by default

```js
    "[python]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.black-formatter",
    },
```

**Note:** requires [Black Formatter](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.black-formatter) extension.

## Keybinds

### Fix IntelliJ IDEA Keybinds extension

```js
    {
        "key": "cmd+k",
        "command": "-git.commitAll",
        "when": "!inDebugMode && !terminalFocus",
    },
```

### Add line below and move cursor down

        "key": "cmd+/",
        "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
        "args": {
          "sequence": [
            "editor.action.commentLine",
            "cursorDown"
          ]
        },
        "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
      },
```
