Run anything

Run Anything is a quick way to launch run/debug configurations and open recent projects. It also helps you use proper command syntax by generating suggestions as you type. When you call a command, Run Anything delegates the further work to the appropriate tools.

The Run Anything popup

Open the Run Anything popup

  • Press Ctrl twice.

    Alternatively, click the Run Anything icon on the toolbar.

    The icon is hidden by default. To add the icon to the toolbar, open the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , go to Appearance and Behavior | Menus and Toolbars, expand the Main Toolbar node, and add the Run Anything action, for example, below Search Everywhere. For more information. For more information, refer to Menus and toolbars.

Launch a run/debug configuration

  • Start typing the run/debug configuration name and select it from the list of suggestions:

Run commands

  • Start typing the command name and navigate the suggestion list using the arrow keys. When you press Space, you accept the current suggestion and get further suggestions specific to this command.

  • To get the list of all available commands, type ?. The list of commands depends on the installed/enabled plugins. If a command is not on the suggestion list, it will be executed in the terminal.

    List of the available commands in Run Anything

By default, the working directory depends on the project or module you are currently in. To use the location of the current file as the working directory, hold Alt when running a command.

You can also use an arbitrary location as the working directory. It is configured in the top-right corner of the dialog:

Open a recent project
