Services tool window
The Services tool window enables you to manage various services that help you during software development, such as run/debug configurations, application servers, database sessions, and Docker connections. Plugin developers can add other services through the IntelliJ platform API.
The main toolbar contains the following buttons and menus that are common for all service types:
Expand All Ctrl+NumPad +
Expand all items in the list.
Collapse All Ctrl+NumPad -
Collapse all items in the list.
Group By
Choose how you want to organize the list of services:
Group Services by Type: arrange services by type, such as Run Dashboard, Docker, or Database
Service Groups: arrange services by group, such as a build tool or a data source name
Filter
Choose how you want to filter the list of services.
Open in New Tab
Move the selected items to a separate tab.
Add Service Alt+Insert
Choose a service type to add.
Configure Services tool window
You can adjust the layout of the Services tool window by moving services to their own separate tool windows (right-click a service and select Open in New Tab).
You can also configure it in a dedicated dialog.
In the Services tool window, click and select Configure Services Tool Window.
Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+A and start typing Configure Services Tool Window.
Use the Exclude and Include buttons to move services from the Services tool window to a separate tool window and vice versa. Configurations from the Run/Debug section don't have their own tool windows — instead, they appear in the Run or Debug tool window when they are not included in the Services tool window.
Run/debug configurations
Run/debug configurations are not listed in the Services tool window by default. You need to explicitly specify the types of configurations you want to be available and create the corresponding configurations.
Add Run/Debug configurations to the Services window
Select
from the main menu or press Alt+8.In the Services tool window, click Add service, then select Run Configuration Type.
Select a run/debug configuration type from the list to add all configurations of this type to the window.
Note that the tool window will only display the configuration types for which you have created one or more configurations.
Buttons on the toolbar depend on the selected type of the run/debug configuration and can include the following:
Run Ctrl+Shift+F10
Run the selected configuration.
Debug ⌃ ⇧ D
Run the selected configuration in Debug mode.
Stop Ctrl+F2

Productivity tips
- Use tabs
The Services tool window can include a lot of services, which you can group according to their type or create separate tabs for your own custom grouping. For example, you can create a tab that will include the following: the run configuration for the application that you are developing, the Docker container that runs the database used as a backend for your application, and a console for accessing the database.
- Hide the services tree
Click in the right part of the Services tool window toolbar and then click Show Services Tree to remove the checkbox. You can also press Ctrl+Shift+T to toggle the services tree.
If you hide the services tree, it is replaced by a services navigation bar. Press Alt+Home to focus the services navigation bar.
- Hide, remove, and delete services
Right-click any service and select Delete Delete to completely remove the corresponding run configuration, cloud provider, Docker connection, and so on.
If you don't want to show run/debug configurations of a certain type in the Services tool window, right-click the corresponding configuration and select Remove Configuration Type from Services. This will not remove the actual configuration.
To hide a specific run configuration from the Services tool window, right-click the corresponding configuration and select Hide Configuration. To see all hidden run configurations, click and select Restore Hidden Configurations.
