If you end up using it, drop me a line or comment on the plugin page if it’s working for you. After filing bug reports and sending emails, I gave up and wrote the feature myself, since I’d already done so once before. Goto Definition (which allows the editor to automatically generate a. Just so you know, there is a “fill paragraph” command in IntelliJ - something they added in recent months - but I’ve not been able to get it to do anything but merge all selected text into a single line that is longer than my column width setting. As far as Python developers are concerned, P圜harm wins the popularity contest. The formatting engine, provided by the IDE, calculates the smallest number of whitespace modifications that need to be. In this framework, the plugin specifies the constraints on the whitespaces between different syntax elements. The goal is to match the functionality of Vim’s “reformat lines” ( gq) command and “fill paragraph” in Emacs. The IntelliJ Platform includes a powerful framework for implementing custom language formatters. The “Wrap to column” command wraps selected text or the current line to the column width you’ve configured for the project. AFAIK you need to provide VSCode with a formatter to use, eg. That is it will do all things automatically. It should work with any JetBrains editor based on Intellij IDEA (P圜harm, WebStorm, PHPStorm, RubyMine, etc.). Just right click and then click format document. I corrected this by writing my first IntelliJ plugin: Wrap to Column, which is a port of a different plugin I wrote for the same feature in Sublime Text 2. Consider using black to auto-format your Python code. For automatically sorting import statements use isort. There are discussions here about implementing this for Flake8 though.

There is more to discover, but the features described here will give you an excellent starting point for using P圜harm to super-charge your Python Development workflow.One of the small annoyances I found after switching to P圜harm recently was that while the editor will reformat code to the chosen column width, it won’t wrap plaintext or comments. Flake8 and import ordering are not auto-fixable in a way that complies with what you're seeing. So for small programs or quick code-sketches, it may not be worth the overhead to use an IDE as powerful as P圜harm. You can apply those tools to single line, selection, specific file or entire project. There are a few different tools / hotkeys to reformat or change indentation of your code. This means that there is some initial setup which is not great if you have a brilliant idea that you want to try out right away. P圜harm checks for Pep8 by default if I remember correctly.

There is also the issue that working with P圜harm means working with projects rather than just creating a simple script and running it from a command line for example. One way you can improve the situation is to change the amount of memory allocated to it vie help -> change memory settings. P圜harm is fairly resource-heavy, which means on some systems it can take a while to load, and is prone to occasional periods of non-responsiveness while it catches up with itself.

While using P圜harm is mostly a very positive experience for me, I should just point out a couple of potential downsides to give you a balanced view. Downsides of Using P圜harm for Python Development
