IntelliJ 9 and Android - LogCat Filtering

After getting power from Eclipse, I switched my IDE to IntelliJ and still haven't looked back (only giving permission to use it for a day or so). I've never used ADT drag and drop layout editing, preferring to code my XML layouts by hand or in DroidDraw, so this has never been a problem.

However, one thing I'm missing is the ability to filter the LogCat display based on the tag used. I found that you can put the search term in the box and act like a filter, but there is no way to get it into your own tab, nor the pain moving between that and the full LogCat view.

The search also includes some type of dropdown and I was hoping this would populate with what I was looking for, but I can't get it to function at all, it's always empty. I've looked through the documentation and can't find anything.

Does anyone know how I can use this search box to act as a selection of multiple filters, or if I'm missing something and IntelliJ already includes this?

I was looking for a solution for this too - quite annoying! However, it is a bug to view and / or vote if you want to see this: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/IDEA-65949

I realize this is not exactly the answer you are looking for, but as a quick workaround, you can start a command shell by doing the following.



$ adb logcat | grep YOUR_TAG
