Tips for iTerm2.
Configure opening of file paths (semantic history) #
In iTerm’s settings, goto Profiles -> Advanced -> Semantic
History.
Opening files in IntelliJ IDEA + Visual Studio Code #
First create IntelliJ IDEA’s command line launcher. Press ⇧ Shift + ⇧ Shift (twice) to bring up the Navigate -> Search Everywhere dialog. Then write “create command-line launcher” in the search box, to select the desired action, then press ⏎ Enter:
Now idea is installed on the command line, on MacOS this is tipically in /usr/local/bin/idea.
Similarly, in Visual Studio Code press ⌘ Cmd + P, type “install code command”, and press ⏎ Enter:
The idea command line utility isn’t compatible with iTerm’s settings, plus if we want to discriminate based on file type, an extra script is needed. Save this in $HOME/bin/iterm-goto:
#!/bin/sh
GOTO_FILE="$1"
GOTO_LINE="$2"
GOTO_CHAR="$3"
if ! [ -f "$GOTO_FILE" ]; then
echo "ERROR: file path missing or invalid!" >&2
exit 1
fi
# Discriminate based on file extension, open only .scala or .sbt files in IntelliJ IDEA ...
if [[ "$GOTO_FILE" =~ ^.*\.(scala|sbt)$ ]]; then
EDITOR_PATH="$(which idea)"
if [ -z "$IDEA_PATH" ]; then
EDITOR_PATH="/usr/local/bin/idea"
fi
if ! [ -z "$GOTO_LINE" ]; then
exec "$EDITOR_PATH" --line "$GOTO_LINE" "$GOTO_FILE"
else
exec "$EDITOR_PATH" "$GOTO_FILE"
fi
else
EDITOR_PATH="$(which code)"
if [ -z "$EDITOR_PATH" ]; then
EDITOR_PATH="/usr/local/bin/code"
fi
if ! [ -z "$GOTO_CHAR" ]; then
exec "$EDITOR_PATH" --goto "$GOTO_FILE:$GOTO_LINE:$GOTO_CHAR"
elif ! [ -z "$GOTO_LINE" ]; then
exec "$EDITOR_PATH" --goto "$GOTO_FILE:$GOTO_LINE"
else
exec "$EDITOR_PATH" "$GOTO_FILE"
fi
fi
Then in iTerm’s settings, goto Profiles -> Advanced -> Semantic
History, and set Run command ... to:
$HOME/bin/iterm-goto \1 \2
