:jigsaw::battery: IntelliJ IDEA based IDEs plugin that displays battery status in the Status Bar. Useful if you run IDE in full screen.

Battery Status

An open-source and free IntelliJ IDEA (and other JetBrains IDEs) plugin that displays battery status in the Status Bar.

Usage:

• Windows: plugin should work as it.
• Linux: you must be able to invoke acpi -b. Be sure ACPI is installed: on Debian or Ubuntu, type sudo apt install acpi.
• MacOS: plugin should work as it. You must be able to invoke pmset -g batt.

Otherwise, go to plugin's settings and choose to use Oshi in order to get battery status. This is more configurable, it seems to work everywhere (macOS users may appreciate), but the battery information may differ a little bit from what you get from the operating system. Per example, on Windows, Oshi may indicate a remaining time (when charging or discharging) that differs from the Power Options indicator in the Windows status bar. Without Oshi, on Windows, plugin will query the native Kernel32.SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS, which is exactly what you get from the Power Options indicator. Oshi information are not wrong, but some of them simply offer estimates based on different calculation methods. You may observe the same thing on Linux (Oshi vs acpi -b) and macOS (Oshi vs pmset -g batt).

Battery status is updated every 90 seconds, configurable in File, Settings..., Appearance, Battery Status.

Build

Install a JDK17+ and Gradle, then run ./gradlew buildPlugin. See the ZIP file generated in build/distributions/.
You can also run plugin in a standalone IDE with ./gradlew runIde.

You can also take a look at the Makefile.

intellij-battery-status-plugin's Issues

support IU-201+

migrate plugin to IJ 2020.1

Plugin uses deprecated API that are removed in IJ 2020.1. Migration may be complex due to the lack of documentation.

Automatically toggle "Power Save Mode"?

While looking through the IntelliJ Plugin Marketplace I found this plugin. I'm looking for a way to automatically toggle "Power Save Mode" whenever I'm on battery, maybe when the battery is below a certain percentage. This plugin seems somewhat related to such a feature, is this something that would fit this plugin?

Produces too long string on MacOS

I needed only Battery percentage, so I used this code:
pmset -g batt | grep -Eo "\d+%"|echo "Battery:$(cat -)"
I created a shell file and use this command in configuration: bash /path/to/script.sh
And now it works fine for me.
