Body

I am talking about the "continue" button that get appear before every terminal command.
I can do this in vs code, but i cant find a way to disable the "continue" button in PhpStorm.

Thanks for the question!
At the moment, PhpStorm requires you to manually click the “Continue” button before any terminal command is executed in Agent Mode. This behavior is by design, as a safety measure to prevent unintentional or unsafe command execution from AI suggestions or automated scripts.
Unlike VS Code, JetBrains has chosen to prioritize explicit user confirmation for terminal interactions in its IDEs.
As of now, there is no built-in setting to auto-execute terminal commands in Agent Mode — but I agree it would be great to have an option to toggle this!
You might consider submitting a feature request directly to JetBrains here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/
Hope this helps!

@Shubham09876543 Its really annoying thing to keep press "Continue" , i think for now all my co-workers in the company will move to use VsCode until jetbrains take an action.
And am gonna submit a feature request, and thanks for this information's.

You're very welcome, @abdalmonem!
Totally agree — having to hit “Continue” every time can really interrupt the workflow, especially in a team environment.
Submitting a feature request is a great move! Hopefully, JetBrains will consider improving this behavior in future updates. Meanwhile, switching to VS Code for smoother terminal experience makes sense — it's all about the tools that help us stay productive.

Best of luck, and feel free to tag me if there's an update or workaround!

@ShubhamGajera hello! I'm the IntelliJ Terminal developer. Could you please elaborate on the source of this information?
Actually, I can't find any restriction from the IntelliJ Platform side to execute commands in the terminal without asking.
