While I encourage you to write your code in multiple small files, not one huge one, We're still going to end up with somewhat large files.
0:08
Right? And if you have little warnings or errors or maybe just want to look and see what's down near different section.
0:16
But especially if there's a little warnings or colors in the scroll bar,
0:20
you might want to just look down there and see what's going on without actually changing locations. So here we are in a somewhat large file,
0:28
you see the line numbers 1 to 29 and then all of a sudden it goes to 114. Actually, if we put our cursor right there,
0:36
if we hover over where the scroll bar would be and wait for a moment, PyCharm will pop up this view of what would it be like if we actually scroll
0:44
to that location. So down there, apparently online 114 115 we can see there's a function called announced that takes an
0:51
item in a message. And as you move up and down your mouse, you actually move the lens mode around.
0:57
You're trying to figure out what's going on in a file and you don't necessarily want
1:01
to leave where you are. But you want to look a little bit around lens mode.
