How to get quick documentation working with PyCharm and Pytorch

I was able to get it working by doing the following:

PyStorm 2019.3

Open the settings for external documentation:

File / Settings / Tools / External Documentation

Add the following URL patterns:

Module Name: torch.nn.functional
        URL: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.functional.html#{element.qname}

Module Name: torch
        URL: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/{module.basename}.html#{element.qname}

Seems to work for most APIs but you have to trigger the quick documentation tool window. This won't show docs if you CTRL+CLICK something.

You probably want to get Kite. It has this feature (that I use intensively) called co-pilot where you can get python docs immediately. I don't know if it's Linux/Mac specific but works for any editor, nit just Pycharm.

_{It's just another solution}

I was about just to add a comment for Reactgular's solution but it turned out I didn't have enough "reputation" to do it.

For the torch.nn.functional module, I found it is more helpful to do this to jump directly to the detailed documentation for the function you are searching for.

torch.nn.functional
https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/{element.qname}.html#{element.qname}

But of course, this is not a stable page so I guess it may not work later, so be careful about it.

PyCharm2022.1.x still cannot display torch(1.10) documentation. @Reactgular 's answer is helpful. But the url that works for me is different.

Following the steps: file --settings--tools -- external documentation -- add

Module Name: torch URL/Path Pattern: https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/{element.qname}.html#{element.qname}

Actually the above steps only let the pycharm show a link. But it is better than nothing. just click the link and a default browser will open the documentation. You can also specify a customized browser instead of the system default browser: file-- settings-- tools --web browsers and preview
