How do I get the selected text in the terminal view in my plugin?

com.intellij.terminal.JBTerminalWidget#SELECTED_TEXT_DATA_KEY

Yes, I also found this key, but I can't make my action work. Because:

1. The shortcut key I set for my action is invalid in the terminal window.
2. I didn't find any extension points to add my action to the popup menu of the terminal window.

What should I do? Thank you very much!

Simple code：

<action id="GetTextInTerminalAction"
        class="com.myplugin.action.GetTextInTerminalAction"
        text="Get Text in Terminal">
    <keyboard-shortcut keymap="$default" first-keystroke="control shift Y"/>
</action>

class GetTextInTerminalAction : AnAction(), DumbAware {

    override fun update(e: AnActionEvent) {
        // e.presentation.isEnabledAndVisible = !e.getSelectedTextFromTerminal().isNullOrBlank()
    }

    override fun actionPerformed(e: AnActionEvent) {
        // Can't execute here
        println(e.getSelectedTextFromTerminal())
    }

    companion object {
        fun AnActionEvent.getSelectedTextFromTerminal(): String? = getData(JBTerminalWidget.SELECTED_TEXT_DATA_KEY)
    }
}

Currently the only way would be to override com.intellij.terminal.JBTerminalWidget#getActions and provide your additional actions from there.

Thank you very much!

Could you show any example?

Hi, muslu.

This is currently not possible unless the terminal plugin provides some expansion points.

Hi Yii;

Thank you. If you find any solution then please tell me too.

I need too, is there a solution now?

Hi Yann Cebron  ,

Do you have an example for overriding ‘com.intellij.terminal.JBTerminalWidget#getActions’ ? Is this basically replacing the default terminal thats used in IntelliJ ? 

For my plugin, I need to display a popup when user right click over a highlighted text in the terminal (and being able to read what the user has highlighted, obviously).

Please see IJPL-164451 to have a convenient way to contribute action to the classic terminal.
Workaround: to add an action to `JBTerminalWidget`, please try this example:
 

private fun addActionToJediTerm(project: Project, parentDisposable: Disposable) {
  TerminalToolWindowManager.getInstance(project).addNewTerminalSetupHandler(Consumer {
    val widget = ShellTerminalWidget.asShellJediTermWidget(it)
    if (widget != null) {
      widget.nextProvider = object : TerminalActionProvider {
        override fun getActions(): List<TerminalAction> {
          val presentation = TerminalActionPresentation("Hello", KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_Y, InputEvent.META_DOWN_MASK))
          return listOf(TerminalAction(presentation) {
            println("Hello, World!")
            return@TerminalAction true
          })
        }

        override fun getNextProvider(): TerminalActionProvider? = null

        override fun setNextProvider(provider: TerminalActionProvider?) {
        }
      }
    }
  }, parentDisposable)
}
