I use IntelliJ for most of my Java programming, but every once in a while I need to make certain changes which are much easier done in VIM.
Thus, the question:
While I’m editing a file in IntelliJ, it is somehow possible to tell IntelliJ to start VIM with the same file that is currently under cursor.
Thanks !!
Absolutely!
Go to
File -> Settings -> External Toolsand add a new one.Program and Working Directory fields should be self-explanatory. The parameter field should be $FilePath$. Click the Insert macro button to see more token values that you could use.
You can also bind keyboard shortcuts to the external tools you define.
See the help page on configuring third party tools for more info.
