Sticky lines in the editor

To simplify working with large files and exploring new codebases, we’ve introduced sticky lines in the editor. This feature keeps key structural elements, like the beginnings of classes or methods, pinned to the top of the editor as you scroll. This way, scopes always remain in view, and you can promptly navigate through the code by clicking on a pinned line.

As of PyCharm 2024.1, this feature will be enabled by default. You can disable it via a checkbox in Settings/Preferences | Editor | General | Appearance, where you can also set the maximum number of pinned lines.

Version control systems

Option to display review branch changes in a Git Log tab

IntelliJ IDEA 2024.1 EAP 4 streamlines the code review workflow by offering a focused view of branch-related changes. For GitHub, GitLab, and Space, it is now possible to see changes in a certain branch in a separate Log tab within the Git tool window. To do so, click on the branch name in the Pull Requests tool window and pick Show in Git Log from the menu.

These are the most notable improvements in the latest PyCharm 2024.1 EAP build. Explore the full list of changes in the release notes, and stay tuned for more updates next week.
