PoshConsole - a Smart, Fashionable PowerShell Console

Started by Jaykul · 9 months ago

So, I’ve been practically invisible for a few weeks here, and liable to be invisible for at least one more week … this is my vacation time, so it’s hard to motivate myself to blog about anything. However, I have been spending some time working on a sid ... Continue reading »

    bq. Typing perf needs work, I'll point out this app to my WPF team members who own textbox...perhaps they have recommendations on better ways to approach what Joel is doing here...Perhaps there are WPF issues this will help uncover...

    I couldn't agree more about the typing performance. I've actually captured that as an issue for the next release, I think I need to do some profiling around the event handling on the ConsoleTextBox control. Originally there was some code for syntax highlighting in there which I borrowed from somewhere ... I've stripped it all out now, but it was actually rescanning the entire document on each "text changed" event!

    I _sort of_ intend to get syntax highlighting working on the command-line eventually -- and even enable a multi-line friendly mode which requires CTRL+ENTER to send the command, so it's easier to edit snippets like the prompt function -- ideally, something like @$cmd = cat function:\prompt@ or @Out-PoshEditing function:\prompt@ would put the existing function into the next command-line so you could edit it on the fly!

    Hi Jaykul !

    Very very nice job with your console ! I'm a big fan ! I've made "advertising" of your console on my blog.

    So when I use it with 'help', nothing appear at all and I dont have PSCX installed; just :
    Name : PowerGadgets
    PSVersion : 1.0
    Description : Generates Charts, Gauges and Maps Gadgets from Windows PowerShell data

    Name : Soapyfrog.Grrr
    PSVersion : 1.0
    Description : This is a PowerShell snap-in that offers high performance graphics and animation in the co
    nsole.

    Best regards from France !

    Well, do you have help aliased to a function or anything? I mean, does the full @Get-Help@ work?
