Commands

Intellij SFCC adds 201 commands to VS Code for finding SFCC code, working with sandboxes, deploying cartridges, inspecting logs, and connecting AI tools

Run a command

Open the Command Palette:
- Windows and Linux: Ctrl+Shift+P
- macOS: Cmd+Shift+P
- Any platform: F1
Type Intellij or Intellij SFCC: to find extension commands
Choose a command and press Enter

For example, Intellij SFCC: Search Routes opens the Routes picker. Type Routes in the palette to find it. Commands that act on a specific file or item may instead appear when you right-click that item

Most useful commands

When you know an SFCC name but not its file, start with the search commands. The other picks cover everyday connection, deployment, editor, and log work. The full list and IDs are grouped by task below

Command	Use it to
Search Routes	Find a route, open its source, and inspect references or endpoint actions
Search Hooks	Find a hook and jump to its declaration or implementation
Search Custom APIs	Find an endpoint and follow its API definition or script
Search Steptypes	Find a job step and open its source
Search Properties	Find a resource key across bundles, locales, and cartridges
Select Active Connection	Choose the sandbox used by connection-aware actions
Change Code Version	Select the target code version for a connection
Find Cartridges	Discover cartridges to link in this workspace
Compare with B2C Instance	See how a local file differs from the sandbox copy
Deploy code to Active B2C Instance	Send the project to the selected sandbox and code version
Open Local Log Center	Investigate downloaded and indexed log entries
Show Pipeline Editor	Open a pipeline in the visual editor

Use a command ID from the reference below to assign a keyboard shortcut or call the command from another extension. For the first connection and cartridge setup, see Setup Your Project
