My question is about the project walk through on youtube.
At 38:59, instead of typing out the function the professor just makes it appear.
So, I would like to know is there some keyboard shortcut or something that allows you to do this inside the text editor?
Thank you in advance for your help.

It’s not entirely clear since we’ve no idea what keypresses are being used and a few seconds before this there’s a “recording paused” window. I’d assume it was copy/paste as it’s rather complex- "name, assignment, function(arguments)" and the alternative is terrifying .
So far as I’m aware the standard cc environment has little to no autocompletes of any kind but you’ll find plenty in most personal IDEs/code edtiors which are often clever enough. There’s a balance to be found when you’re learning to code in doing everything yourself (even the boring bits) so as to remember things by repetition vs. what a lot of folks actually do and rely on their editors to autocomplete, flag errors and typos and keep the style consistent etc. etc. Especially when doing things the first time writing every letter yourself isn’t such a bad thing; at the end of the day it’s up to you what you choose to do though.
Yesterday, I decided to install python on sublime text editor 3. It took me really long, but once I got it working, it was really way more comfortable to code in that thing. And super fast to run the code, helping me to iterate through all the problems I was having with one of the challenges.
I really appreciate the reduction in typing also, using the autocomplete, because after typing a lot my forearms started getting stiff, so I was looking for a way to relieve that by typing less.
Hi
Trying to follow the instructions in The Boredless Tourist get as far as the except SyntaxError: and return
even after going through the solution guide I get the Syntax Error that just points to except and cannot get past it
any thoughts pls?
have even tried to carry on coding but cannot get pass this SyntaxError

A syntax error means there’s syntax the interpreter just doesn’t know what to do with, you cannot catch an error with exceptions since the code never even gets to the stage where it runs.
Providing the actual error code would be useful here, Python’s tracebacks tend to be quite detailed; it should point out where this error occurred. Bear in mind that certain syntax errors like unmatched parantheses may cause errors that are only noticeable in the following lines rather than the exact line.
