Problem Description

"switch to console" keyboard shortcut doesn't do anything.

What steps reproduce the problem?

0. have one ipython console and one editor window open
1. put mouse cursor in editor window
2. press ctrl+shift+c

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

nothing happens. Spyder does receive the ctrl+shift+c input on my computer, because I can set other commands to this combo and they work fine.

I can confirm this ctrl+shift+c seem to do nothing since the spyder python console is now removed.

@mind6 The console you want to get to is the IPython console currently so use ctrl+shift+i or you can change this to ctrl+shift+c in the preferences if you like.

To fix this I would suggest removing this python console shortcut and potentially change the IPython shortcut to ctrl+shift+c as this might be more intuitive.

Done in PR #7471.

potentially change the IPython shortcut to ctrl+shift+c as this might be more intuitive.

We can discuss this for Spyder 4 but I'd prefer to leave it as it is for our 3 series.

I agree.

Thanks for your quick solutions. I should have looked for the "switch to ipython console" command before I posted.
