KeyHandler to toggle through predictors sources #3383

Open StevenBucher98 opened 2 years ago

StevenBucher98 commented 2 years ago

Prerequisites

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Instead of typing Set-PSReadlineOption -PredictionSource <source> the user would be able to use a key handler to toggle between all the possible options for -PredictorSource and have a display note of which predictor source a user is on.

Open for discussion on the exact UI implementation.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Shift + F2 to switch between different predictor sources.
