Execute command in Intellij terminal

IntelliJ Platform
10

For example, this action executes “echo Hello” command in a new terminal tab in the Terminal tool window:

import com.intellij.openapi.actionSystem.AnActionEvent
import com.intellij.openapi.project.DumbAwareAction
import com.intellij.terminal.ui.TerminalWidget
import org.jetbrains.plugins.terminal.TerminalToolWindowManager

class ExecuteEchoHelloInTerminalAction : DumbAwareAction("Execute 'echo Hello' in a new terminal tab") {

  override fun actionPerformed(e: AnActionEvent) {
    val project = e.project ?: return
    val widget: TerminalWidget = TerminalToolWindowManager.getInstance(project).createShellWidget(null, null, true, true)
    widget.sendCommandToExecute("echo Hello")
  }
}
