PhpStorm 2016.3 - Default terminal settings

Question

How to set default terminal settings in PhpStorm for all future projects? All I can do, is to modify path only for currently opened project and the default value for "Shell path" is cmd.exe which I don't want to use.

Answer 1

File | Default Settings... -- options set there affect future new projects (they do not affect already existing projects in any way).

Also --- try latest 2016.3.1 EAP build -- it contains changes from these tickets:

Answer 2

You can change Shell Path with your desired terminal path in Tools -> Terminal, then apply and ok. This settings change will work for all of your future projects in phpStorm.
