PyCharm equivalent of Visual Studio $(ItemPath) for External Tools

Question

Visual Studio 2017 has broken me, and I am defecting to PyCharm.

However we have a number of very useful external tools set up. One of which looks like this:

Title: PEP8 Current Module
Command: (some path to Python27\python.exe
Arguments: $(SolutionDir)\dev_tools\pep8.py $(ItemPath)
Initial Directory : $(SolutionDir)

What can I put in to the Arguments in PyCharm Create Tool dialog to achieve the same thing?

PyCharm has built-in PEP8 integration, you do not need to set up any external tool for it. — yole, Nov 07 '18 at 11:14

The PyCharm equivalent to $(ItemPath) is the FilePath macro.

Awesome, this is just what I needed. I started to explore the Insert Macro... section and it all made sense. I hope to never have to go back to Visual Studio Python ever again! – FinancialRadDeveloper Nov 07 '18 at 11:27
