Terraform Plugin released in JetBrains plugin community is used for HashiCorp Terraform / HCL language support for doing stuffs like:
- Syntax highlighting.
- Code formatter with the 'Reformat code'.
- Report usage of deprecated properties.
And NOT as a substitute for executing terraform binary.

My solution: I've installed terraform using chocolatey
- Set the path in settings
from terraform.exe
to C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\terraform.exe
Intellij will still display it as terraform.exe but it will now work.

The plugin now supports your requested commands (plan\apply), make sure you update it.
Regarding Arcones question: the plugin is maintained by Vladislav Rassokhin, therefore we might experience latency in the plugin support for new Terraform features. You may open an issue here: https://github.com/VladRassokhin/intellij-hcl/issues
