PyCharm Windows: how to modify the shell PATH of the command line?

In the Settings > Tools > Terminal menu, you can read here that you can change the Shell path and there are example of how to add parameters.

I want to be able to launch the default "cmd.exe" with the option that changes the PATH like this:

cmd.exe /k "set PATH=C:\Python35;C:\Python35\Scripts;%PATH%"

However when I add those option I get "java.io.IOException: Couldn't create PTY"

I've tried many things, including enclosing everything with quotes, simple quotes, double quotes...

How to run cmd.exe with those options? (Note: I don't want to change my global PATH settings (where I use Python36), I just want to change the path for this specific project)

Thanks to this answer, i've managed to add the PHP cli interpreter path in PhpStorm to terminal with the help of _INTELLIJ_FORCE_PREPEND_PATH variable

cmd.exe "/K set PATH=%_INTELLIJ_FORCE_PREPEND_PATH%%PATH%"

Try one of those (works for me):

"cmd.exe" /k ""set PATH=C:\Python35;C:\Python35\Scripts;%PATH%""

or

cmd.exe "/k set PATH=C:\Python35;C:\Python35\Scripts;%PATH%"

And then when you launch the terminal:

C:\Users\Olivier\Documents\PyCharmProjects\chat>echo %PATH%
C:\Python35;C:\Python35\Scripts;C:\Program Files (x86)\[..blabla..]
