pycharm control alt r not working

Question

I'm using PyCharm on a Windows machine, and I'm running the tutorial found here.

It keeps on telling me to use Ctrl+Alt+R as some sort of command. I don't know what I did, but this does sweet diddly for me on Windows. I think because I'm using Eclipse shortcuts?

Anyway, anyone have any idea what the menu item is for this thing? So using the gui I can find it? Or even what it is called?

cheers!

Answer 1

Ctrl + Alt + R is a hotkey for Tools | Run manage.py task menu item.

It seems to be unmapped in Eclipse keymap. Open IDE Settings | Keymap section, search there for 'manage.py' and map the action to a hotkey.

Hope it helps, -Eugene

This issue also comes when you rename settings.py file with something else. In this case you need to follow these steps.

1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) under the Languages and Frameworks node, click Django.

2. Check the setting box. It should be blank if you have renamed or moved settings.py file into other folder. Here you have to select the new settings.py file. click ok and now Ctrl+Alt+R should work.
