CLI Shortcut is a lightweight IntelliJ IDEA plugin for running frequently used command-line scripts directly from the IDE toolbar. It is built for developers who repeatedly open Terminal and type the same project commands during daily work.
Typical use cases include:
- Starting local development services.
- Running build, test, or code generation commands.
- Executing project-specific helper scripts.
- Triggering deployment or packaging shortcuts.
- Replaying common CLI workflows without leaving the editor.
After installation, the plugin adds a fixed icon button to the top-right toolbar area. Clicking the button opens or focuses the built-in IDEA Terminal and sends the enabled scripts configured by the user.

The settings table contains:
- Enabled: whether the script should run.
- Name: the display name of the script.
- Script: the command or multi-line shell content to send to Terminal.
The default configuration includes an explanatory echo script so the plugin has visible behavior immediately after installation.

export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"./gradlew runIdeIf the current network cannot access services.gradle.org, the first ./gradlew distribution download may time out. If Gradle is installed through Homebrew, use:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17)
gradle runIde./gradlew buildPluginOr use system Gradle:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 17)
