Many bad things in Pycharm: disable Kite without full uninstall?

Open wrishel opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

when I installed Kite several bad things started to happen in Pycharm. Examples:

  1. When I run programs the output window is the Python Console and now the Python console is unavailable as an interactive way to use Python.
  2. Previously if you selected some text in a source file and typed a "(" parens appeared around it and if you then typed a single left arrow the cursor was positioned to add a function name in front of the left paren. Now hitting the left arrow leaves the cursor at the end of the parenthesized text.

There is least a possibility that this is due to a bad release of PyCharm. Is there a way to test this without doing a total deinstall of Kite and then reinstalling PyCharm?

I have uninstalled Kite from PyCharm and problem number 2 disappeared. Because the PyCharm feature that gets broken is so ingrained in my muscle memory I will not use Kite unless I know the problem has been fixed.

Problem number 1 was due to a config issue in PyCharm. I do not know for sure that it was caused by the installation of PyCharm. I might have screwed it up all on my own.
