PyCharm: how to use debug mode - python

I've never used an IDE so probably my problem is really basic.
When I start the debug mode, it shows me only this empty screen

How can I let it start correctly?

You need to add breakpoints by clicking on the sidebar near the line count.
Then, when you will start a debugging session the execution of the code will stop at your breakpoint, you can then uses the multiple controls to navigate in your code.
You will also see the variables related to your code.

Step into, step over continue options hidden

I am using latest Vs code version 1.65.2. I am learning python. In my Vs code tool bar, under Run option, step into, step over continue all these options are hidden.I can run the code. But when i try to debug line by line or break point based debugging its not working. It is simply run the code and shows the error or successful run. but not able to stop the running..
I have searched and tried all possible solutions like setting break points, setting stoponenrty: ture on launch.json file, justmycode: ture, checked key board mapping debugger is current python file etc. but no resolution. If i close all the open project, still its hidden. I see i am basically missing something. but cant figure out. Appreciate your help.
Trying to debug, but step by step debug or any form of debug not not working
Let's add a breakpoint. The debugger cannot start without a breakpoint.
Then choose the debug
The order from left to right is as follows (with default vs Code shortcut):
Continue / Pause F5
Step Over F10
Step Into F11
Step Out ⇧F11
Restart ⇧⌘F5
Stop ⇧F5

Debugging Python in VS code with simple command line (like: debug(function) )

I am used to debugging in RStudio. Using R I simply use the command: debug(my_function), then run the code and automatically the script debugs at my_function.
Now I am using Python in VS Code, I see debugging is possible by setting breakpoints visually using the red dots. However I need to debug a function without actually knowing where this function is stated. So my question is can I debug a specific function in VS Code using a command?
I hope to use something like this command line -> debug(my_function)
Thanks!
It looks impossible for now, I have submitted a feature request on GitHub.
Maybe you can try to copy the function into an isolated python file to debug it for now.
They are called Function Breakpoints
A function breakpoint is created by pressing the + button in the BREAKPOINTS section header and entering the function name. Function breakpoints are shown with a red triangle in the BREAKPOINTS section.

Set a breakpoint for all search results in PyCharm

I have made a search in PyCharm with classical Ctrl+Shift+F, and I just want to set a breakpoint at every line in result for debugging at once.
Does exists some functionality in the IDE to do this?
There's no such feature, unfortunately. Though you can place breakpoints manually in "Find in Path" preview window for a given search item.
Feel free to create a feature request in PyCharm's bug tracker https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/PY

My program stop if user click the console, how do I prevent it?

How do I prevent the program from stopping when the user press the console?
For example:
I'm trying to create a loop in python where it's printing out number from 0-1000, but when the user click the console, it stopped
How do I prevent this?
I can't find a site or any stackoverflow answer, what I get is only in c# language. I want a python language
Here is a similar problem in c# Code stops executing when a user clicks on the console window
The problem was not on the code, because the code is
for i in range(1000):
print(i)
EDITED: I want to make the Quick-Edit disabled in python code?
To disable Quick edit mode do the following: right-click on the title bar and select Properties, then select Options, then you disable Quick Edit Mode, then the scrolling doesn't stop when you click in the window.
In addition to Shadesfear answer, take a look at this topic:
How to enable Windows console QuickEdit Mode from python?
It's shown there how to enable it, and as Quick Edit Mode is enabled by default in Windows 10, you can use the code presented there to disable it as your program starts.

PyCharm won't accept code completion on enter

since yesterday PyCharm 2016.3 won't accept selected lines from the list of code completion:
If I hit enter, a new line will be set into the editor rather than the selected line of the popup window. Is there any setting for this behaviour? Until now I couldn't find anything.
I noticed on a few occasions the GUI going somehow off-rails, including in ways similar to the one described. I couldn't determine a pattern in the occurences. Just closing and re-opening the project didn't always help.
What worked pretty reliably for me in the end was exiting PyCharm (giving it ample time to finish), making sure no related java processes remains active (running on Linux, in some cases I had to manually kill such processes when it became clear they're not going away by themselves) and then re-starting the IDE.
I found the current keymap for code completion by chance. This is set via:
Settings > Keymap > Code > Completion > Basic
