I use the Anaconda-packaged version of Spyder on a daily basis. Great product, although I can never seem to get the IDE updates to consistently work within that environment. Nevertheless it is my favorite IDE for Python.

You could consider using our new installers, if you're on Windows or macOS, to avoid that: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases/tag/v4.2.1 Then you can connect them to your conda envs, as described here: http://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html#using-existing-e...

Does the installer work with WinPython?

Also, thanks for a great tool!

Sure, it works with any Python installation/environment that has spyder-kernels installed.

Can I get the following behavior from Spyder (last time I tried I couldn't find a way) - for some keyboard shortcut like Cmd/Ctrl + Enter: - the shortcut sends the selected code to the terminal (this is possible) - if I hit the shortcut when nothing is selected, the line where the cursor currently is gets sent to the terminal and the cursor moves to the next line of code - if the cursor is at the beginning of a block…

RStudio has this behaviour by default, I find it very convenient and I haven't been able to replicate it in other environments. Certainly you can replicate that in Emacs?!

I think that's how ESS behaves.

Oh boy, I can't even get spyder to move between two of my monitors because it always complains about scaling and then I can't get the popup to consistently not show up

Would you prefer to hide it forever? We could add an option for that, but scaling could fail in some circumstances.

I would 100% rather hide it forever

This is how Emacs/ESS behaves, like one commenter said. You can also get this behavior in python mode by installing python-x.el

That would be nice, my dev environment gets wiped every night, so I see the message everyday. That and the one time I did install Kite, Kite kept bothering me about buying some enterprise plan. I do appreciate the work you do on Spyder though!

Great! It's too late for us to include it in our next version (4.2.2), but we'll definitely consider it for Spyder 5.0, to be released in April.

You are amazing, thank you for being so responsive!

Saw this thread and instantly installed Spyder on my Windows PC. My display is 4k 15 inch with 250% scale. The fontsize of UI didn't scale and is too small. Well, like many other Windows apps that can't handle high DPI well, I'll check later when it's polished.

I use spyder on my 4k 15 inch display. It works 100% fine. I think I may have set scaling in the options to "auto" or "hidpi".

Thank you! I only opened the software once and didn't check settings. Enabled high DPI and it worked. Wondering why they doesn't enable it by default.

Because it'd make everything look huge in non-high DPI displays. It's a trade off, but most people still use them.
