Solved ! Command-line Launcher issue with WebStorm IDE

shihab.2.0 — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 11:36:32 +0000

Hello ,

Problem!

Executing the cmd webstorm . in the terminal window (cmd line) should opened the current folder in the Webstorm IDE, but was failing to do so even after launching the webstorm IDE and trying to run the Create command line launcher script from the Action Pallet (Shft + cmd + p) was continuously prompting the following dialog as shown below stating Command-line launcher creation is managed in the Toolbox App settings. Please see the announcement for the details.

Solution is as follows

Step 1 :

Open JetBrains Toolbox Application

Step 2 :

Open Setting's page via Cmd + , command.

Step 3 :

Now, Click on Tools Accordion to expand it and fill in the Shell Script location input field with /opt/homebrew/bin value (usually ths should be your bin location from the system PATH where the commands are stored)

Step 4 :

Now Save it and relaunch the Terminal to try typing webstorm . in the terminal so now this should open the webstorm application with the current folder.

Thanks & Cheers !!

Problem Statement

Normally I get frustrated and a great desire to throw up my laptop while i am working on some task's and I finally end-up randomly swiping to the right or to the left desktop screen's in order to access one of my application, but every time I failed constantly as I was running multiple application / Browsers/ terminals /Servers / Containers all running in different desktop screen and it was not easy for me to keep swiping and remember which screen had what application in what session :(

One of the Solution

Use `Shortcuts` Native App

Yes!! there was a reason this guy was sitting on my mac and i was thinking in the past that its the most useless native app ever until I figured out that it can help me achieve small task's in a IF this Do that framework.

How to use `Shortcuts` to open desired app on your fingertips

Open Shortcuts App from your spotlight search

Once opened, click on New Shortcut button

In the popup now add the title, a name for the shortcut

Now on the right sidebar, search for Open App Action keyword and Double Click to select it.

Next, you will see a form on the left side that allows you to choose the desired app to open , click on App and now search for your application name & select it.

Now shift your focus to right sidebar and click on the i information tab to get to below screen and select Use as Quick Action checkbox

Next, right below you can click on Add Keyboard Shortcut button and press the shortcut button key combination there

Final step is to deselect all the application triggers like shown in the below screenshot on the left panel

To sum it up, the entire form popup should look something like this as shown in below screenshot

That's All, Now close the shortcut popup and the shortcut application itself and press the shortcut key combination that you had assigned in the shortcut app, you should see your application opening up for you.

So Now you can create as many shortcut's for all your normal day application's and keep it on your finger tips to toggle between them.

FIX | MacOS Error ! | Alacritty can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software

*Hello Dev's *, Not a serious post, I am just logging my daily technical challenges here so that i can refer this in future :P

Problem Statement

Recently I downloaded Alacritty Terminal application on my mac via their website and well for my surprise when i tried unpacking the Alacritty.dmg file, my mac refused to open this application stating can't be opened because apple cannot check it for malicious software and to add more to that I couldn't find a straight forward fix for this silly issue on google or their github issue's page

Solution

Anyways! After a long struggle,I finally found the quick fix for this and it's as simple as follows

Open "System Preferences" / "system Settings" from the Apple menu.
Go to "Security & Privacy".
In the "General" tab, you should see a message at the bottom stating that the application was blocked, in my case it says Alacritty was blocked
Click on the "Open Anyway" button to allow the application to run.

cheers, Thats All!!

Finding Inference

not really sure what's this deal with security certification between Alacritty and apple for such a highly prominent app that is used by many dev's out there, if anyone of you known the reason behind this,do comment down below !!

cheers !!
