Intellij SFCC adds 217 commands to VS Code for finding SFCC code, working with sandboxes, deploying cartridges, inspecting logs, and connecting AI tools. Most run from the Command Palette; the ones that act on a tree item or a file only appear in that item's context menu or title bar
Run a command
- Open the Command Palette:
- Windows and Linux:
Ctrl+Shift+P - macOS:
Cmd+Shift+P - Any platform:

- Windows and Linux:
- Type
IntellijorIntellij 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 Set Up Your Project
