Terminal Snippets is an plugin that allows you to quickly inject predefined command snippets into the terminal.

• 🚀 Quick access to frequently used terminal commands
• 📁 Organize snippets by categories with automatic submenus
• 🔤 Dynamic variables (project info, date/time, clipboard, etc.)
• 💬 Interactive variables (prompts, choices, confirmations)
• ⚙️ Easy configuration through Settings > Tools > Terminal Snippets
• 🎯 One-click command injection via terminal toolbar icon
• 💾 Persistent storage of your custom snippets
• 📤 Import/Export snippets as JSON
• 🔄 Compatible with both Classic Terminal and Reworked Terminal 2025

1. Configure your snippets in Settings > Tools > Terminal Snippets
2. Open a terminal window (View > Tool Windows > Terminal)
3. Click the Terminal Snippets icon in the terminal toolbar
4. Select a snippet to inject it into the terminal

1. Download the latest Terminal-Snippets-X.X.X.zip from my Jetbrains MarketPlace Page
2. Open your Jetbrains IDE
3. Go to Settings/Preferences > Plugins
4. Click the ⚙️ icon > Install Plugin from Disk...
5. Select the downloaded ZIP file
6. Restart IntelliJ IDEA

1. Go to Settings/Preferences > Tools > Terminal Snippets
2. Add your custom snippets with:
   • Name: Display name of the snippet
   • Category: Group snippets together (e.g., "Build", "Git", "Docker")
   • Command: The command to inject (supports multi-line)
3. Click OK to save

• Snippets are automatically organized by category in the dropdown menu
• If you have multiple categories, they appear as submenus
• If you have only one category, snippets are displayed in a flat list
• Leave category blank to use the default "General" category

• Export: Click the Export button to save your snippets as JSON with timestamp
• Import: Click the Import button to load snippets from a JSON file
• Duplicate snippets (same name + category) are automatically skipped during import

Terminal Snippets supports both static and interactive variables in your commands.

These variables are automatically resolved when the snippet is executed:

These variables prompt the user for input when the snippet is executed:

Build with timestamp:

echo "Building ${PROJECT_NAME} on ${DATE} at ${TIME}"
gradlew clean build

Interactive deployment:

cd ${PROJECT_PATH}
mvn clean ${CHOICE:Select phase:package|install|deploy}
echo "Deployed by ${USERLOGIN} at ${TIME}"

Git-aware build:

echo "Building ${PROJECT_NAME} from branch ${GIT_BRANCH}"
echo "Commit: ${GIT_COMMIT_SHORT}"
gradlew build -Pversion=${GIT_BRANCH}-${GIT_COMMIT_SHORT}

Conditional execution:

echo "Delete all logs?"
if [ "${CONFIRM:Are you sure?}" = "yes" ]; then
  rm -rf logs/*
fi

Using environment variables:

echo "Java Home: ${ENVVAR:JAVA_HOME}"
echo "Path: ${ENVVAR:PATH}"
docker run -e API_KEY=${ENVVAR:API_KEY} myapp

File operations:

# Compile current file
javac ${FILE_DIR}/${FILE_NAME}
java ${PACKAGE_NAME}.${FILE_NAME%.java}

# Backup to home
cp ${FILE_PATH} ${USER_HOME}/backup/${FILE_NAME}

Multi-module project:

# Test specific module
./gradlew :${MODULE_NAME}:test

# Build with version from Git
cd ${GIT_ROOT}
./gradlew :${MODULE_NAME}:build -Pversion=${GIT_TAG_LATEST}

Cross-platform script:

echo "Running on ${OS_NAME}"
echo "Gradle version: ${GRADLE_VERSION}"
echo "Built by ${GIT_USER_NAME} <${GIT_USER_EMAIL}>"

The plugin comes with two example snippets:

• Pip Upgrade (Category: Python)
• Git Status (Category: Git)

• ✅ Commands are injected into the prompt
• ✅ Multi-line commands are supported
• ✅ Press Enter to execute
• ✅ You can modify the command before execution

• ✅ Commands are executed automatically
• ✅ Multi-line commands execute line by line
• ℹ️ No modification possible before execution (API limitation)

Plugin based on the IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template.
