Here’s a great hint from one of our Windows PowerShell PMs. We all know that you can interrupt a command by typing Ctrl+C, but did you know that you can erase the end of a typed command line by pressing Ctrl+End, just like in Cmd.exe?<\/p>\n
The Ctrl+End sequence erases all characters at or after the cursor point on the command line.<\/p>\n
Try it. <\/p>\n
Type a command, like:\n get-itemproperty HKLM:\\Software\\Microsoft\\PowerShell\\1\\ShellIds\\Microsoft.PowerShell<\/p>\n
(Be sure to use tab-completion to save strokes!)<\/p>\n
Use the back arrow key (\u00df) to place the cursor under the “S” in “ShellIds.”<\/p>\n
Press Ctrl+End.<\/p>\n
Now you have:\n get-itemproperty HKLM:\\Software\\Microsoft\\PowerShell\\1\\<\/p>\n
so you can type another useful command, like:<\/p>\n
get-itemproperty HKLM:\\Software\\Microsoft\\PowerShell\\1\\PowerShellEngine<\/p>\n
Very handy. And you get it free with Windows PowerShell.<\/p>\n
