<\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce another release of PSReadLine 2.3.1-beta1<\/strong>! We have had various bug fixes\nand minor improvements in this release, as well as a big new feature to ListView<\/code> of Predictors! Let’s\njump right in!<\/p>\n

Installing PSReadLine 2.3.1-beta1<\/h2>\n

How do you install this release? The release is available from the PowerShell Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Use the following command to install PSReadLine<\/strong> using PowerShellGet<\/strong> v2.x:<\/p>\n

Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -AllowPrerelease -Force<\/code><\/pre>\n
If you are using PowerShellGet<\/strong> v3, you can use the following command:<\/p>\n
Install-PSResource -Name PSReadLine -Prerelease<\/code><\/pre>\n
You must include the Force<\/strong> parameter to install this version side by side with the default\nstable version.<\/p>\n
<\/i>Note<\/strong><\/p>You must restart your PowerShell session to use the new version of\nPSReadLine<\/strong>.<\/div><\/p>\n
ListView tool tip view<\/h2>\n
In this preview, we enabled a new tooltip view in the ListView<\/code> mode of PSReadLine Predictors.\nTooltips were part of the original design but were never presented to the user until this release.\nTooltips are enabled by default, but you can disable them by running the following command:<\/p>\n
Set-PSReadLineOption -ShowToolTips:$false<\/code><\/pre>\n
And then can re-enable by running:<\/p>\n
Set-PSReadLineOption -ShowToolTips<\/code><\/pre>\n
The following screenshot shows the CompletionPredictor<\/code><\/a> providing tooltips to show details\nabout each parameter of Write-Host<\/code> and GetChildItem<\/code>.<\/p>\n
<\/i>Note<\/strong><\/p>You will need the CompletionPredictor installed and imported to have the same experiences shown in this blog.<\/div><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"Gif<\/a><\/p>\n
Tooltips are only available for results from plugin predictors. Predictions from History don’t have\ntooltips. A plugin predictor can populate the tooltip with other descriptions to help provide more\ndetails into what is being predicted. For example, the Az.Tools.Predictor<\/a> module provides\ndetails about what the suggested cmdlet does.<\/p>\n
\"Screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n
It’s also helpful when working with .NET objects:<\/p>\n
\"Screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n
For long tooltips, ListView<\/code> shows up to four lines of the tooltip. You can get more information\nfor the selected item by pressing the F4<\/kbd> key.<\/p>\n

Feedback<\/h2>\n
As usual, we love getting your feedback! Since this is a beta release, designs and features are\nsubject to change. Please submit bugs, feature requests, or questions to the repository<\/a>. Your\nfeedback is greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n
