When using PyCharm for Python development, sometimes you may encounter stuck or unresponsive situations. When PyCharm gets stuck, we need to force close it to resume normal operation. Today, we will introduce several methods on how to force close PyCharm in Linux system.
1. Use keyboard shortcuts
In the window where PyCharm is located, you can try to use the "Ctrl + C" key combination to terminate the PyCharm process. This will send an interrupt signal to PyCharm, causing it to shut down.
2. Kill the process using the command line
-
Open a terminal and enter the following command to find PyCharm's process ID (PID):
ps -ef | grep pycharmThis will display a list of processes related to PyCharm, including their PIDs.
-
Find the PyCharm process you want to force close, and note its PID.
-
Use the following command to kill the process (replace PID with the actual process ID you found):
kill -9 <PID>This will forcefully terminate the PyCharm process.
3. Using System Monitor
-
Open System Monitor or Task Manager. In Linux, you can use the command
toporhtopto view running processes. -
Find the PyCharm process in the process list.
-
Select the "End Process" or "Force Stop" option and confirm to close PyCharm.
Whichever method you choose, remember to save and close all work in progress before force closing PyCharm to prevent data loss.
Summarize:
When PyCharm is stuck, we can force close it by keyboard shortcut, command line killing process or using system monitor. Choose the method that works for you, and make sure to save and close all your work before force closing. This will help you resume normal operations and continue with Python development.
