What's the smart commands execution

Shift-Shift > type "registry" and hit Enter to open the Registry window. Start typing to find the following option and disable it:

terminal.shell.command.handling

Is there a way to disable this thing?  It is *super* annoying. I know I can disable it per project, but it's a lot of clicking. I'd like it *gone* and never show it's popup again.

Super annoying the first 1,000 times I clicked the "got it" link.
After that, serious concerns re the lack of usability testing in IJ products...

I totally hate this feature....  

Super super annoying.  I realise a few people have said that already ... but just in case it helps to raise awareness of just how super super super annoying this is !!!

For me I have 100's of projects. Turning it off per project is just really super super super annoying !!!!   My thought is that it should be really easy to turn it off globally ... (and without that it is a massive pain for people like me).   

:)

I'm bumping the fact that this is super annoying.

This feature should be opt-in.  It causes node apps started in terminal to crash randomly and it is extremely difficult to identify why.  Turning this feature off stops the random crashing.  

I see, thank you, this feature is still unstable

I feel like i see it the first time i use the terminal for every session.  I would have expected it to stop, after the first "got it".  It's a global feature, so dismissing it once should persist.  It's not like people need to be reminded every project and especially not every session, if they've dismissed the popup.

Arina Efremova :
1) Yes, clicking "I got it" had no effect at all, I'd get still get the warning every time I opened a new IDE session.

2) I have not seen it since setting  terminal.shell.command.handling=false    

3) that setting seemed to work across all IDEs with synced settings, ie: looks like I only had to set it once.

4) suggestion: the popup should have a button or link to turn off the shell command handling.

5) there should be some documentation explaining what this feature actually does, who knows, it might actually be a useful feature!

I use ZSH with a lot of plug-ins and this "smart terminal" messes up half of them. This feature appears out of nowhere, it's mega annoying, and with every project it starts again. I probably wouldn't pay attention to this if I could turn it off once for all projects, but now it clearly aspires to IntelliJ's most annoying feature

And yes, this is not a feature it is a bug. It is bugging me and apparently I'm not the only one. It is more than annoying. Remove this crap.

I wonder how many people actually find this feature useful. I never found it intuitive at all; I tried using it several times before completely disabling it, but (1) I found it so confusing and (2) it was the most annoying thing. I clicked turn off at least 100 times, before I changed the .idea settings file to fully disable it.

Smart execution of Terminal commands was introduced to allow for launching a UI after parsing commands instead of showing console output.

Once an input command is matched, it is highlighted, and then by pressing Ctrl-Enter you can open a corresponding UI with parameters fetched from the command.

For example, `git log --author=john` opens the Git Log panel filtered by users that match "john", while `git log branch` opens the Git Log tab with the specified branch.

The feature is experimental at the moment, and full documentation for it is under way.

Wow... Thank you so much!  :)  You've made my day.

Are you saying that you get the pop-up every time you open your projects, even if you clicked the "Got it" link before? Is it gone for you if you disable the feature under File | Settings | Tools | Terminal?

Rob Bygrave, I submitted a request for this: IDEA-243824. Feel free to vote for it and add your comments there.

Arina Efremova that did seem to stop the prompt.  Just highlights green now, which is fine.  Thanks

Rob Bygrave you can turn off the feat globally

registry =>

I tried,it works

Alan He You can't.

If you open another project then this setting will turn on again.

Arina Efremova thanks. BTW I also use ZSH, not sure if that's relevant though.

Łukasz Sitarski you are right, I have updated the answer, the registry setting works.

Arina Efremova the link on your last comment is wrong!

Elin Yordanov - Thank you, fixed the link.

Per IDEA-243824, the issue in question is dealt with in the latest 2020.2 EAP version. Starting with build 202.6109.22, the setting under File | Settings | Tools | Terminal will be global (set per application).

The notification balloon with the 'Got it' link will remain, but will be redesigned to make this link an actual action (IDEA-244065).

All,

A blog post was published today describing how to run IntelliJ IDEA features from the terminal utilizing the Smart Command Handling functionality. Feel free to check it out and leave your comments / questions in the post's thread.

Wow, this pop up bubble is the most annoying thing ever. I've pressed "got it" at least a few hundred times now and it still pops up every time. How do you turn this off????

@...

Please see this comment above.

Arina Efremova

Yes, I've seen the comments. You want me to go in and disable some global settings that I will forget about at some point. No thanks. Why don't you guys just fix the bug?

Marc

If you wish for the recurring 'Got it' balloon to go away, try restarting the IDE using the File | Invalidate Caches & Restart option.

If you wish to disable the smart command handling feature globally instead of doing it project by project, you can either install IDEA version 2020.2 EAP where this usability problem is fixed, or use the 'disable the registry setting' workaround in every other version prior to that.
