PSReadLine | A bash inspired readline implementation for PowerShell | Command Line Interface library

I want to find a Powershell version of the bash edit-and-execute-command widget or the zsh edit-command-line widget.

Short commands get executed directly on the command-line, long complicated commands get executed from scripts. However, before they become "long", it helps to be able to test medium length commands on the command-line. To assist in this effort, editing the command in an external editor becomes very helpful. AFAIK Powershell does not support this natively as e.g. bash and zsh do.

I am new to Powershell, so I'm bound to make many mistakes, but I have come up with a working solution using the features of the [Microsoft.Powershell.PSConsoleReadLine] class. I am able to copy the current command-line to a file, edit the file, and then re-inject the edited version back into the command-line:

I'm trying to change the -PredictionViewStyle option of PSReadline, but I got the error "Set-PSReadLineOption: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'PredictionViewStyle'."

It's a fresh install and Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource History works.

Any suggestion, please?

trying to array slice the get-psreadlineoption command. I want to select all strings containing the word 'Color' and then input those to 'set-psreadline' to set all colors. I do not understand how this all works in powershell. It's an array, right? I can just loop over it like this:

foreach($a in $i) { $i; if ($i -contains 'MemberColor') {$i;} }

But that gives no output. I also cannot access it as an array:

get-psreadlineoption[21..36] get-psreadlineoption['EditMode']

Does not work. Basically what I want to do is:

foreach (get-psreadlines[21..36]) { $array = append() } foreach ($a in $array) { set-psreadline($a, ...)}

How would I go about doing this?

(P.S. I just want to set all those colors to the same color in a concise manner as possible)

Exception thrown after upgrading to Powershell 7.2.0 while using PSReadLine

I added Vim bindings to my Powershell using PSReadline module as shown in this Server Fault post. The problem after this was that there wasn't any visual indicator for the different modes of Vim.

I just wanted different cursors for the 'command' and the other modes. Block cursor for command mode and line cursor for other modes. So I searched around and found this in the official Microsoft docs: Use ViModeChangeHandler to display Vi mode changes

We're calling a PowerShell script on a remote server which returns an enumeration value [Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent.CompletionResult]. When we run the script on the local machine, the PowerShell script does not know what this enumeration is and fails.

I have gathered the SqlServer PowerShell Extension NuGet package and its dependencies and attempted to installed it.

Note, this is for an offline installation.

I tried to use psreadline today. There is something i don't understand is the history command.
