I have a bad habit of pressing Ctrl+C when I want to copy an error from the SBT shell. This will kill the shell and I can't figure out how to restart it without exiting and reopening the project. Is there a way to do this? It's quite annoying.
EDIT:
Just to clarify for some of you answering: I am on linux. Running the 2020.1.1 release (Community Edition).
This is what my shell looks like after I kill it with Ctrl+c
There is no panel on the side with a Play/Stop/Etc button.
There should be Start sbt shell button on the left-hand side toolbar of sbt shell tool window as indicated by the arrow bellow
After pressing it the shell should start and the button turns into Restart sbt shell
If the play button is not visible, then the side toolbar is likely hidden, so click on the three dots on the right of sbt shell and select Show Toolbar
I am using 2019.3 version of intellij idea currently. In this you have option :
View > Tool Window > Sbt Shell
and you will see the sbt shell. Also you can find it at the bottom where you can find other options like: Terminal and version control(if enabled)
In the prompt window you can see run button(green arrow something like : |> ) to get your shell started.

IntelliJ IDEA 2017.x and 2018.x + Scala includes sbt shell support.
On Windows and Linux it is possible to launch sbt shell with
Ctrl+Shift+S. sbt shell is launched in its own tool window.
My problem is that the text cursor doesn't automatically move to the shell tool window. I have to click on the panel in order to type a sbt command. This is a pretty tedious / error prone / repetitive task.
I would like to move my caret to the bottom of the sbt shell tool window without using the mouse. Basically, I would like for the sbt shell tool window to behave just like the terminal tool window (Alt+F12).
Is this currently possible?
This is not currently possible and it's sort of my fault. I made an issue for this: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/SCL-13585
So I'm working on two machines and they both have Eclipse and Pydev on them. The first machine has a console that has a prompt where I can type in and execute commands when I run on:
The second machine doesn't have the same prompt and I can't figure out how to get it:
I've been looking around online and the closest piece of advice I found is that I need to find the console button on the menu bar next to the tabs and select to show/hide the prompt, but as you can see it's doesn't show up on the second machine. Does anyone know how to I can get the console prompt on the second machine?
Found the issue. I was using PyDev 2.8.2 which didn't support the prompt, I updated to 4.5.4 (higher versions don't show up in my eclipse) and now I'm able to see it.
Is there a way how I can access gdb's console in Eclipse? I would like to just be able to set breakpoints with the mouse and then use the console for debugging.
You must click here
Next select one with *gdb
Now you can write GDB commands in console example:
First of all, you need to install CDT plugin. Then, you can debug C++ application like Java application in Eclipse.
If you want gdb console, push 'Display Selected Console' in Console view in Debug perspective.
You can choose '[Your App name][C/C++ Application]gdb' entry, and then you can type gdb instruction(i.e. print this) in Console View.
It is possible to write in the console window and gdb answers. (You have to choose the right console window from the chooser in the top right edge of the console view).
Unfortunately the console is quite limited: gdb answers to command, but important features like tab-completion do not work.
Window > Show view > "Debugger Console" is the right way as of Eclipse CDT 4.7.0.
You can then type certain commands like print on the console and they will be evaluated.
Other more "active" commands like continue have no effect however.

I'm looking for a good ssh console plugin for Eclipse, and can't find much at all. Would anyone have some good leads on one?
If you don't like the ssh.shells or ssh.terminals subsystems in Eclipse RSE, try using the Terminal View instead.
Open up Window -> Show View -> Other (or press Shift+Alt+Q then Q)
Type Terminal in the search box
Select the Terminal view listed under the Terminal folder
You'll see a window that looks similar to RSE's ssh.terminals subsystem... but with some extra buttons on the top right.
How to use it:
To fix the scrolling issue (ie: for programs like top), click the Scroll Lock button at the right.
For extra Terminal window tabs, click the down arrow on the New Terminal Connection button
To change the current terminal window's settings, use the Settings button.
If you really like the annoying command input box at the bottom, you can toggle it on and off with the appropriate button.
Change the Background Color:
For some reason, the default setting is to use a terribly hard to see white background. To change this:
Go to Window -> Preferences
Type Terminal in the search box at the top left, or select Terminal on the left.
Check the box that says Invert terminal colors
You can also configure a larger terminal buffer or connection timeouts here
Click Apply
Now the terminal should have a black background! If you want a local terminal, you can enable ssh on your local machine, and connect to localhost.
In Eclipse 3.4.1, there is the Remote Systems Explorer perspective that allows you to create and connect to SSH terminals (here)
There are plugins that exist that allow you up open WinSCP or Putty from within Eclipse.
I would advise maybe doing a search for "putty eclipse plugin" or similar
You can also try the Terminal plug-in for Eclipse
This plug-in provides a fully-working, command-line terminal to
Eclipse 3.7 or later (yes, even 4.2!) It works on Linux and MacOS
only.

I'm currently writing some ncurses code and the native Eclipse (3.2.2) console can't display its graphics. I'd instead like to run the program through xterm. What I want is to be able to start xterm and run from there. I'd prefer to not get involved with any plugins or that jazz. Just something simple.
EDIT
So I have the answer and it was pretty simple...
Run -> External Tools -> External Tools -> New Launch Config...
Then select location of your terminal emulator. /usr/bin/gnome-terminal in my case.
after that set the appropriate arguments. "-e ~/ncurses/start" in my case.
Then make sure you aren't allocating a console by unchecking that option in the "Common" tab.
Annon add to his question:
its a pain to keep switching back and forth from eclipse and the terminal. I'm looking for a way to just hit something like"F5" and have it run my ncurses program in a new xterm terminal process
The simplest way to do that is to report the command line into an external tool configuration, and point eclipse to use a shell (like described in this program)
In the argument, you will add the command line eclipse execute (command line which can be retrieved as mentioned in the second part of this answer below).
Of course, replace 'cmd.exe' by the shell of your choice, and try not setting the 'Allocate Console' checkbox in the Common tab of that external launcher.
To launch through a xterm, without eclipse involved (not what you are asking for, just keep here for archive)
You can launch your program through Eclipse (Run Configurations), and observe through a 'ps' command the exact Java command line used.
Or launch it in debug mode, and right click the task in Debug view and open Properties. It will show the command line, as documented here.
Then launch that command line directly in your console (Eclipse being not involved at all at this point).
