IDEswitcher

In the era of agentic coding, running IntelliJ IDEA alongside an AI-powered coding platform has become everyday practice.

IDEswitcher provides seamless bidirectional jumping between IntelliJ IDEA and Qoder / CodeFuse, precisely preserving file path and cursor position (line + column).

Features

• Bidirectional Jump: IDEA ↔ Qoder / IDEA ↔ CodeFuse, unified shortcut ⌥⇧O
• Precise Positioning: Cursor lands on the exact same line and column after jumping
• Configurable Target: Choose Qoder or CodeFuse in Settings → Tools → IDEswitcher
• Smart Defaults: Auto-detects installed editors on first launch

Quick Start

1. Install the IntelliJ IDEA Plugin

Option A: Direct Install

Download IDEswitcher-1.2.0.zip from Releases, then in IDEA: Settings → Plugins → ⚙️ → Install Plugin from Disk...

Option B: Build from Source

cd IDEswitcher-main
./gradlew build
# Output: build/distributions/IDEswitcher-1.2.0.zip

After installation, select your jump target (Qoder or CodeFuse) in Settings → Tools → IDEswitcher.

2. Install the Editor Extension (Qoder / CodeFuse)

cd IDEswitcher-main/agentic-ide-extension
npm install && npm run compile

Copy the entire agentic-ide-extension/ directory to the corresponding location:

Editor	Install Path	Directory Name
Qoder	~/.qoder/extensions/	ide-switcher
CodeFuse	~/.codefuse/extensions/	melomei.ide-switcher-1.2.0

Note: CodeFuse requires the extension directory name to follow the publisher.name-version format.

3. Usage

Press ⌥⇧O (Option+Shift+O) in either IDE to jump to the other IDE at the same file and cursor position.

You can also trigger it via the context menu → Jump to Editor / Jump to IntelliJ IDEA.

How It Works

IDEA → Qoder/CodeFuse:  ⌥⇧O → Read Settings.target → code --goto file:line:col
Qoder/CodeFuse → IDEA:  ⌥⇧O → Detect IDEA version → idea --line L --column C file

Tech Stack

• IDEA Plugin: Kotlin 1.9 + IntelliJ Platform SDK 2024.1
• Editor Extension: TypeScript + VS Code Extension API
• Build: Gradle (IDEA) / npm (extension)
• No runtime external dependencies

Known Limitations

• macOS only (contributions for Linux/Windows support are welcome!)
• IntelliJ IDEA path detection only covers standard installations under /Applications; JetBrains Toolbox custom paths are not auto-detected
• Qoder / CodeFuse paths are hardcoded to /Applications/Qoder.app and /Applications/CodeFuse.app
