I'm new to PyCharm and haven't been able to figure out what I'm sure is a very simple thing -- what's the key stroke to go to the top of the current file?
(Bonus question -- is there a way to scroll to the top of the current file without moving the cursor there also, a la the Home key in Sublime Text 2?)
You can use the left arrow to go up a directory and right arrow to go down a directory. To see the contents of a directory, either press the down arrow or press enter. With this you can get to any place in the tree, without using the mouse.
Customize menus and toolbarsPress Ctrl+Alt+S to open the IDE settings and select Appearance & Behavior | Menus and Toolbars. In the list of available menus and toolbars, expand the node you want to customize and select the desired item. to add an action or a separator under the selected item.
You navigate to the top of the file using Ctrl+Home. It moves cursor too. So does navigating via Page Up and Page Down keys.
Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down move the view without moving cursor but scrolling the long file takes some time.
Additionally You can change the keymap (Settings > Keymap). There is 'Scroll to Top' in 'Editor Actions'. You can use Your own key binding for this action, by default (in PyCharm 4 and later) it is not set.
Another way is to navigate to the first line using goto line: Ctrl-G and then 1. But this will move the cursor to the first line.
A small disadvantage is it is a two step process and adds a navigation step. Moving back to your previous location with CtrlAlt-< will have to be done in two steps if you do an edit.
