What's the difference between the operation Ctrl+Shift+F and the operation double Shift in PyCharm?

Viewed 134

It's said that the operation double-shift can search just as Ctrl+Shift+F does. But why I can't find the file destination with the same string by using double-shift? If it's my problem, how can I find my file destination by using double-shift?

I am searching for a long time on net. But no use. Please help or try to give some ideas how to achieve this.

I'm using PyCharm community edition 2020.1 on windows 10 64bit.

using double Shift can't find my goal file

Double Shift is Search Everywhere, where you can search also outside your project, or in the help, or for actions.

Control-Shift-F is Find in Path, is a more classic find, but on all files (depending the file filter).

Double shift navigate to the following destinations: types, symbols, files, recent files, actions, tool windows, run configurations, preferences, Git branches, commits, tags, messages, and so on.

Note that this command is not a replacement for textual search — use Shift+F to search text in the current document, and Control+Shift+F to search text in the entire solution.
