You could use Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow (which is more convenient from my point of view) or clicking arrows as suggested.

You can also go to Navigate->Back

Ubuntu 16.04 defines Ctrl + Alt + Left as a workspace switch shortcut

Then it does nothing on Pycharm.

So you have to either disable the Ubuntu shortcut with:

  • dash
  • keyboard
  • shortcuts
  • navigation

or redefine the PyCharm shortcuts to something else.

Linux distro desktop devs: please make all desktop system wide shortcuts contain the Super key.
