Is it possible to compile the .coffee files I am editing from WebStorm?
(Without leaving the IDE, something similar to Mindscape’s Web Workbench for Visual Studio.)

UPDATE
Automatic compilation is available since 6.0 version with the File Watchers feature:
Though you can find the same answer in the question that is suggested as a duplicate, I’ll post it here again with minor corrections for the recent WebStorm version:
Latest WebStorm version has an action to compile CoffeeScript, but it just displays a window with the result without writing any files (
Help|Find Action| Preview Compiled Coffeescript File, or bind it to keyboard shortcut inSettings|Keymap).The same action is available in the editor context menu.
