Question
How can I prevent the Run window from appearing during execution in IntelliJ IDEA?
Answer
Disabling the Run window in IntelliJ IDEA can streamline your workflow by preventing it from popping up each time you run your code. This is particularly useful for users who prefer to focus on the code rather than the console outputs.
Causes
- The Run window is configured to open automatically after each execution.
- You might want a cleaner workspace without frequent interruptions.
Solutions
- Go to 'File' > 'Settings' (or 'IntelliJ IDEA' > 'Preferences' on macOS).
- Navigate to 'Build, Execution, Deployment' > 'Compiler'.
- In the settings, look for an option related to 'Show console when standard out changes' and uncheck it.
- Alternatively, during a run, you can close the Run window and check the option 'Do not show on output' during that session.
Common Mistakes
Mistake: Not saving the changes after modifying the settings.
Solution: Ensure to click 'Apply' followed by 'OK' to save your preferences.
Mistake: Overlooking the specific project settings that may override global preferences.
Solution: Check both global and project-specific settings if the Run window still appears.
