    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9660?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12633198#comment-12633198 ] 

Koen Aers commented on JBIDE-9660:
----------------------------------

I have added the option to start the Forge runtime when Forge is not running and/or the Forge view is not opened when Cmd+4 is pressed. It still brings the Forge view into focus though. To make Cmd+4 work without the Forge view in focus involves a lot more work as -at the moment- the runtime is linked to the view.

> if the forge shell only is possible to show when the forge shell is in focus then its just a fancy ctrl+space thing. 
> Should be able to call it from outside of the forge UI so it becomes easily accessible.
> Challenge is though to ensure forge is in the right directory - but taking the current selection as the directory to ensure forge is operating in should be enough.
> Maybe the shell command should show the path for current selection so possible to know what context it will be executed in ?
> Possibly even provide a "breadcrumb" style ui allowing users to click on a path segment to choose at what level it will operate.
