1. Yes, this is true in IntelliJ (the root for all these projects) as well. As these things go, it is a pretty lightweight project - just point it at a directory and go. But yes, required.
2. On Mac: Option-Command-F11 toggles this.
Overall, I really like this product, but I've been been an IntelliJ fan for years. Things I like:
- diff tool - scm integration - todo list - refactorings, although obviously the current set is limited - very keyboard friendly
Still need to try the debugger and figure out how to set multiple Python paths.
