  • Option 1: File Watcher
    • Make sure you have the File Watchers plugin installed.
    • Go to Preferences or Settings -> Tools -> File Watchers and click + to add a new watcher:
      • Name: isort
      • File Type: Python
      • Scope: Project Files
      • Program: $PyInterpreterDirectory$/isort
      • Arguments: $FilePath$
        • If you are using code formatter such as Black, use -m isort $FilePath$ --profile black instead to avoid conflicts.
      • Output paths to refresh: $FilePath$
      • Working directory: $ProjectFileDir$
      • In Advanced Options
        • Uncheck "Auto-save edited files to trigger the watcher"
        • Uncheck "Trigger the watcher on external changes"
  • Option 2: External Tool
