IDE extras

Are there any find, find/replace operations in the IDE? I'm just starting and find it easier to copy algos to a local editor and paste them back when I'm finished. It would be great to avoid this.

i do my coding in visual studio, then copy/paste into quantopian to run.

if you use windows, you can download the free version of visual studio and PythonTools for visual studio (also free)

otherwise, there are free-free ide's for python in any OS.

Here is the list of IDE keyboard shortcuts in the API docs. For Apple, replace Ctrl with Cmd

  • Build Algorithm: Ctrl + B
  • Indent: Ctrl + ]
  • Outdent: Ctrl + [
  • Toggle Comment: Ctrl + /
  • Search Code: Ctrl + F
