zsh in IntelliJ

Question

I wanted to get a zsh terminal running in IntelliJ, I set up an external tool which was just zsh and set the working directory to my home directory. When I ran it however there were 2 problems straight away:

1. My .zprofile hadn't been loaded
2. Tab didn't auto-complete anything

Does anyone know if I can get zsh working nicely inside IntelliJ?

There is no easy way to do it as IDEA doesn't have a real terminal yet, see the related issue: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-5166. – Sidereal

This feature will be available in IntelliJ IDEA 13! Fish in IntelliJ - awesomeness ! – Quadruplicate

Answer 2

For me it still was using Bourne shell even though I selected /bin/zsh in the prefernces window. What helped was to execute

chsh -s /bin/zsh

After restarting intelij terminal, zsh was properly started
