I have a Django project running in a virtualenv and I would like the terminal to run in that virtualenv when opened. At the moment I have to type workon virtualenv which isn't exactly the end of the world but I'm guessing there is a way to make this happen automatically?
Is there a way to run commands at startup like you can do with the django and python consoles?

Have you considered changing the path to the Python interpreter to the interpreter inside your virtualenv directory? – schillingt Oct 15 '14 at 15:49

As tttthomasssss suggested, the answer is here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22289136/519074. Only this answer worked, the ones below it didn't even though they look more useful.
Update - This is what worked for me:
For each virtualenv, put a file called something like terminalactivate.sh into /bin with this:
#!/bin/sh
source ~/.bashrc
source $(cd `dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}"` && pwd)/activate
Then in pycharm/idea settings choose this for shell path:
/bin/bash --rcfile ~/virtualenv/sff/bin/terminalactivate.sh

I know this is a very old question, but if you're using fish shell, you can also do this with the -C flag. For example I use it to set a different theme on shells open inside intellij by setting shell path to:
/opt/homebrew/bin/fish -C "fish_config theme choose 'Solarized Light'"
