How to disable triple hashtags (#) in PyCharm for mac

I'm trying to write comments and TODOs on PyCharm for mac and there is this unexpected behaviour:

  • When typing a # character it inserts a triple hashtag (###) at the start of the line. It also does not respect the actual indent.
  • When commenting a line with cmd + / it only types one hashtag (#) but it also doesn't respect the actual indent.

I want it to behave like it does in Windows, where the # key types only one character and in both cases it respects the actual indent.

Solution

  • the behaviour does not look like a default one. Do you have any custom plugins installed?

    Please disable all custom plugins, go to File | Settings | Plugins click the gear icon and choose "Disable all downloaded plugins", to avoid third-party affection.

    When commenting a line with cmd + / it only types one hashtag (#) but it also doesn't respect the actual indent.

    Could you please attach a couple of screenshot examples?
