Send To Terminal

Intellij plugin to send line or selection to a terminal

The following modes are supported

• Send current line or selection (default shortcut meta alt ENTER)
• Send current and move focus to next line with expression (default shortcut meta alt shift ENTER)

Supported evaluation targets are

• Cmdr via conemu (Windows)
• R GUI (Windows)
• Terminal (MacOS)
• iTerm2 (MacOS)

Kotlin Support

The plugin comes with special support for Kotlin, namely

1. Paste Mode Support:

With the stock Kotlin-REPL, one can not evaluate certain multi-line expressions such as

listOf("foo", "bar")
    .map{it+"2"}

Please vote for KT-13319 to push for a REPL paste-mode. Alternatively you could use kshell from https://github.com/khud/sparklin and enable the paste mode support in the preferences of this plugin.

2. Automatic Import Detection

The plugin will detect imports in a kotlin document and will evaluate imports in the target terminal prior to the user selection/expression.

3. Expression Guessing

The plugin will guess the scope of the expression under the cursor when using the shortcut ctr+alt+shift+enter. The scope barriers are named fuctions or the file itself.

Custom shortcut actions

Up to 4 custom actions can be defined to send the current selection/line to the evaluation target. Below some examples are shown for R

Those shortcut actions are exposed via the context menu and can be assigned to custom keyboard bindings:
