While browsing the code in PyCharm(community edition) how to go back to the previously browsed section? I am looking for eclipse back button type functionality with Pycharm.

Answer 1

Able to enable Forward/Back button on latest pycharm.

Right-click the toolbar and select Add to Main Toolbar and select Back/Forward

Answer 2

In Ubuntu:

Navigate back

Shift + Alt + Left Arrow

Navigate forward

Shift + Alt + Right Arrow

In Windows:

Navigate back / forward

Ctrl + Alt + Left / Right Arrow

In MAC:

Navigate back / forward

Cmd + Alt + Left Arrow

Answer 3

Ubuntu 16.04 defines Ctrl + Alt + Left as a workspace switch shortcut

Then it does nothing on Pycharm.

So you have to either disable the Ubuntu shortcut with:

• dash
• keyboard
• shortcuts
• navigation

or redefine the PyCharm shortcuts to something else.

Linux distro desktop devs: please make all desktop system wide shortcuts contain the Super key.

Answer 4

You could use Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow (which is more convenient from my point of view) or clicking arrows as suggested.

Answer 5

You can also go to Navigate->Back

Answer 6

in pycharm you have view in view please make sure that toolbar is checked
