The bash shell in IntelliJ in MacOS is currently very misconfigured for me and this appears to be a default configuration. When I click into it and select a text it is automatically copied. That means every time I switch between windows and click into the shell in IntelliJ, I have to very cautious that the click really is just a click and I don't drag the mouse by accident because then everything from my clipboard is lost and I have copied some random letters. My current workaround is to not use the intellij terminal at all but to open iTerm from the iterm-button-plugin. But surely there must be a better solution?
You can just untick this checkbox

I want to make iTerm2 as my default terminal on macOS,
I open iTerm2 and hit to make iTerm default Term
But it's not working!
And I go to default terminal preferences
But after open it I see this
(Open iTerm Build version 3.3.7)
Menu: iTerm2 > Make iTerm2 Default Term
It sounds like you need to rebuild your macOS' LaunchServices.
To do this, download OnyX and choose the version based on your current macOS version.
The option that you need is in the red box, and I'd suggest that you UNCHECK anything that you don't need or don't know; otherwise, you might end up with deleting data that you might need:
After that, you can try again with the built-in Make iTerm2 Default Term option in iTerm2 (if this option is greyed out for you, click option + the iTerm menu button to re-enable it again).
There are ways to do this through the command line without downloading third-party apps, but I trust OnyX enough to hand it the job.
However, if you decide to do it from the command line, make sure you type the command that corresponds to your current macOS version. More on that here.
Hope this helps :)
Use this location instead:
/Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/iTerm2
but note that it will not solve your issue completely. Termianal will start anyway, but this time, it will run iTerm2 - as you instructed it to do.
One thing you can do is find the file that opens a terminal (in my case it was metro opening in a React Native app). Find the file in your finder, right click on it, choose get info, then expand the Open With tab. There you should find a dropdown menu on what to open those kind of files with. The default is terminal, but choose iTerm2 and click on change all.
For example, in my situation I had to find launchPackager.command file under node_modules/react-native/scripts/. Do the above with that file and it will make iTerm your default terminal after clicking change all.
From where do you want to open the terminal? I was facing the same problem as you when I wanted to open the external terminal from Visual Studio Code.
I solved it by going to Code > Preferences > Settings. Look for terminal in the search bar and setting /Applications/iTerm.app in Terminal > External for your operating system.
Sometimes it could be very useful to open new iTerm window. I've seen this feature in Gnome window manager. It is possible to get same feature on MaxOsX? Is there a software to do that?
Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folders and give preferred shortcuts.
The shortcut will open iTerm at the selected folder, instead of from the folder that has been opened.
You can right-click on the folder where you want iTerm2 to open, then select Services -> New iTerm2 Tab here.
You can also find other options in the Services menu to open iTerm2 and Terminal.
This was tested on iTerm2 3.x and Catalina and above.
There are two apps called "Go2Shell" and "ShellHere". Both place a small icon at the top of the finder window. When the icon is clicked a terminal window opens in the same directory as the finder window.
Go2Shell
Go2Shell can be downloaded from Mac App Store or developer's website. It is possible that you won't be able to install it from Mac App Store, because Go2Shell wasn't updated for a long time.
Go2Shell allows users to specify whether to open shell in Terminal or iTerm2.
ShellHere
Shellhere can be downloaded from here.
ShellHere allows users to open a folder only in uses only MacOS Terminal.
Problem with current solutions: Doesn't work in current folder. Only if you right click a folder.
So do this:
In Finder, press ⌥ + ⌘ + P to show the path bar.
Then, right click your folder and choose the option. Voila!
Try https://github.com/wonderyue/Go2ShellAppleScript.
Something like Go2Shell. The latest update of Go2Shell is five years ago, due to the compatibility problem, I make a similar one with AppleScript.
If you want to open iTerm in current Finder position try the following:
OpenInTerminal
https://github.com/Ji4n1ng/OpenInTerminal
Alternative and a bit older
TermHere
https://hashbang.productions/apps/termhere/ (last updated on 2016)
Both work without issues in MacOS Catalina
cdto doesn't support opening the folder in iTerm, so its a no go
If you have BetterTouchTool, you can just create a Finder trigger with action "Open Active/Selected Folder With Specific App" and select "iTerm". Works for me!

EDIT:
You can even add Hotkey Window hotkey before "Open Active/Selected Folder With Specific App" to open the terminal in the hotkey window (as a tab). Really neat.
In hotkey window
I've been using cdto forever before accidentally stumbling on to the accepted answer. Will definitely try out the accepted answer, but leaving a link to cdto here if someone finds in useful

New to CLion, not sure if its just me, but everytime I type, the "Search for" bar appears in the Project directory left side bar. I am unable to type anything into the opened file. The caret does not even appear on the file. It's like when using Vim, but you're not in Insert mode. I have no idea how to go and start typing into the IDE. Any recommendations to how to use this thing?
It it because the focus in on the Project pane:
Just click once in the editor pane (where the file you want to edit is displayed). The caret will appear and you will be able to type.
I know it's painful, but just restart the IDE. That's what I did and it works now.
When coding in Xcode, I double-click a file in the "Groups and files" list, and it opens a new editor window. I have several of these open at once.
Until today.
Today, when I double-click a file in the list, it opens the file in the last editor window I was using, meaning I can only have one editor window up at any one time.
I guess I've switched some option somewhere by mistake. How do I get it back to the way I like it?
I'm using Xcode 3.2.5
In the top right of the editing window is an icon that says "grouped", perhaps you clicked on it by accident.
Click on it so it says "ungrouped", and you'll be back to opening multiple windows.
perhaps preferences>General>Open Counterpart in same Editor
On Eclipse, whenever I double click a tab, it fills the workspace (by hiding all other views like project tree, console, etc).
Is there any way to do this on Visual Studio?
Note: i'm not looking for full screen, just want a way to declutter the workspace but still have access to menus.
Are you after this?
Set shortcuts for the Window.AutoHideAll function and for the Window.ResetWindowLayout function. In order for the ResetWindowLayout to work, you have to export your settings (make sure you select "All Settings") with all windows expanded and then import them again.
ResetWindowLayout will restore all windows to the way they were the last time you imported your settings.
Not with double click on tab, but you can do the same with Shift+Alt+Enter key combination.
This keyboard shorcut was changed to F11 from 1.9.1 vscode version.
All keyboard Shortcuts: https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-windows.pdf
I was looking for that, as well, and I now just got used to using full screen (Shift+Alt+Enter), which hides a little too much, which you seem to think, as well, but does in fact still show the menus.
Looks like drby got it on this one. Just FYI. I pinged the VS team to ask about this and here is the response:
"There is no way to reverse the command automatically. For it to work as a toggle we would need to save which toolwindows were auto hidden and which ones were not when the command was run, which we don’t do (it would cause lots of interesting persistence questions, across profiles and VS sessions)."
The idea of a "Unhide All" command is what I suggested. So if you hide all then you can unhide all as well. There might be some windows you don't want to unhide but the 1 or 2 extra windows is better than not having an unhide IMHO.
