Run tool window

Show/hide: View | Tool Windows | Run or Alt04

Run tool window opens automatically when you run your application and displays the generated output.

Run tool window

The actual appearance of this tool window depends on the application type and can include additional tabs, toolboxes, and panes.

Tool window tabs

Pin tabs

If you are running multiple applications, each one is displayed in a tab named after the run/debug configuration applied. To preserve the output of a application, even if you re-run it, pin the output tab.

  • Right-click the tab and select Pin Tab.

    To pin tabs by default, press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings, select Advanced Settings and enable the Make configurations pinned by default option.

Split tabs

CLion enables you to split the active Run tool window vertically or horizontally.

  • Right-click the desired tab in the tool window and select one of the split options: Split and Move Right or Split and Move Down.

  • Another way to do this is by dragging and dropping the desired tab. CLion highlights the available areas in the tool window where you can place the tab.

  • To unsplit the tool window, right-click the top pane and select Unsplit from the context menu.

Run toolbar

The main toolbar of the Run tool window lets you rerun, stop, pause, or terminate a application.

the Rerun button

Rerun CtrlF5

Click this button to stop the current application and run it again.

the Stop button

Stop CtrlF2

Click this button to terminate the current process externally by means of the standard shutdown script.

Clicking the button once invokes soft kill allowing the application to catch the SIGTERM event and perform graceful termination (on Windows, the Ctrl+C event is emulated). After the button is clicked once, it is replaced with the Kill Process button indicating that subsequent click will lead to force termination of the application (on Unix, SIGKILL is sent).
