## Run/Debug configurations

You can manage multiple run/debug configurations in the [Services](services-tool-window.html) tool window. For example, you can start, pause, and stop several applications, track their status, and examine application-specific details.

Procedure: Add Run/Debug configurations to the Services window

1. Select `View | Tool Windows | Services` from the main menu or press `Alt+8` (Windows), `⌘ 8` (macOS), `⌘ 8` (IntelliJ IDEA Classic (macOS)), `⌘ 8` (macOS System Shortcuts), `Alt+8` (XWin), `Alt+8` (GNOME), `Alt+8` (KDE), `Alt+8` (Emacs), `Alt+8` (Sublime Text), `⌘ 8` (Sublime Text (macOS)), `Alt+8` (NetBeans), `Alt+8` (Visual Studio), `Alt+8` (Visual Studio (macOS)), `Alt+8` (Eclipse), `⌘ 8` (Eclipse (macOS)).

3. Select a run/debug configuration type from the list to add all configurations of this type to the window.

If you have already created one or more configurations of the selected type, IntelliJ IDEA displays them in a dedicated node. If there are no configurations of the selected type yet, the IDE opens the Add New Configuration dialog, where you can [create a new run/debug configuration](run-debug-configuration.html#createExplicitly).
