Tab completion has accelerated the success of new and experienced PowerShell users for over a\ndecade. New users get the benefit of discovery, seeing available cmdlets and parameters as options\nwhile interactively typing. Experienced users receive the benefit of acceleration, typing less while\nusing the Tab<\/kbd> key to quickly complete a command.<\/p>\n

As the scale and complexity of cloud deployments and IT environments grow, cmdlet surface area is\ncontinually being updated with new cmdlets and additional parameter sets. For example, If you’re\nbeginning your journey with Azure, the Azure PowerShell module can be daunting. In this increasingly\ncomplex world, Predictive IntelliSense<\/strong> is here to help.<\/p>\n

Predictive IntelliSense is an addition to the concept of tab completion that assists the user in\nsuccessfully completing commands. The prediction suggestion appears as colored text following\nthe user’s cursor. This enables new and experienced users of PowerShell to discover, edit, and\nexecute full commands based on matching predictions from the user’s history and additional domain\nspecific plugins.<\/p>\n
