how to quickly add import xxx to top #930
Description
It is usually inconvenient to add import xxx .
For example,
I want import numpy as np
I need go to top, add it under
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# @Author: mithril
from __future__ import unicode_literals, print_function, absolute_import, division
import xxx
from xxx import xxx
import numpy as np
Then go back to original position , is there any quick way to do this ?

As this is a question, this should go on Stack Overflow at the link provided in the issue template so I'm closing this.
But to quickly answer the question, the answer is there isn't a current way but #636 would implement this if/when we merge that PR (this is also a duplicate of #21 ).

Brett Cannon (@brettcannon) Looks like this feature is already available for TypeScript: microsoft/vscode#21764
Could you please rename this issue into a feature request and reopen? I can create a separate issue if that's the preferred way to track it.
Please note that "Auto import" or "Optimize imports" (using isort, for example) is not a substitution for this feature because there could be ambiguous imports, and only developer knows which one is best, thus a quickfix action functionality is necessary.

Yuri Bochkarev (@balta2ar) if we implement this it will be through a quickfix/lightbulb anyway and not a magical "insert without asking" type of solution.

Brett Cannon (@brettcannon) Sure! This is exactly what I meant, some kind of a menu with possible import alternatives should be displayed to the user.
