It looks like you built PSReadLine yourself - can you try with beta1 from the PSGallery?

And if that doesn't repro, but it does repro with the latest, do let me know.

I've done minimal testing on Win7 and haven't seen this. I have also done some testing with the "legacy" console on Win10 (from the console properties menu, on the Options tab, select "Use legacy console (requires relaunch)" - that option tends to help behavior specific to pre-Win10 systems.

LaurentDardenne commented 6 years ago

can you try with beta1 from the PSGallery? This version comes from PSGallery, via Install-Module. I can test again on Win7 and on a new VM with Server 2016.

lzybkr commented 6 years ago

Thanks - I updated the issue template so the script now reports the prerelease version properly and also checks pwsh.exe.

I've the same issue after a upgrade of Windows 10 (insider preview). I'm not aware that I've installed PSReadLine so I think that it comes bundled with Win 10 (in fact, I cannot remove it via Remove/Uninstall-Module)

Same thing happens in latest win10 1809 insider build (build 17763.1) which will likely be the RTM build, any of the PSReadline commands throws an exception making it entirely useless

@RobertSpir - I'll need some help tracking this down, I'm always using the latest and never hit this problem.

A memory dump or time trace debug trace would be very helpful if you don't have time to investigate yourself.

downgrading to 1.2 fixed this issue

lzybkr commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately the PowerShell debug trace isn't useful because PSReadLine is written in C#.

Ideally I could get a TTD trace, but I could probably also debug from a memory dump.

Note that if you can provide either - they both could contain secrets, e.g. all of your environment variables. Also note that either method will produce very large files, probably too large to email. If you can collect either the .run file form TTD or the .dmp file from .dump, then I can set up a secure location to share the file - you can email me or PM on twitter, whatever works for you.

lzybkr commented 6 years ago

@RobertSpir provided a TTD trace and I think I understand the issue now.

Can folks hitting this report back what keyboard layout or language you use?

copdips commented 6 years ago

@lzybkr,

Thx for your tips, when I'm on french layout, I have the issue. I switch the keyboard layout to english, no more issue.

tobiasdiez commented 6 years ago

The keyboard layout seems to be the issue, indeed. When using NEO 2.0 (special German layout) I experience the problem but switching to the ordinary built-in German layout fixes it (until switching back). Thanks for having a look at this!

SteveL-MSFT commented 6 years ago

Have an idea what the issue is, working on a fix.

lzybkr commented 6 years ago

Thanks.

You can trying switching back to your preferred layout after PSReadLine is initialized, but there are known issues with switching after the process has started. One of those issues might be fixable withing PSReadLine, but there @powercode found that a Win32 api used by PSReadLine also does not work correctly when switching layouts.

So for the time being, installing 1.2 might be the best workaround.

SteveL-MSFT commented 6 years ago

The problem seems to be that for some Windows keyboard layouts, the key modifiers are not considered distinct so that when the code here tries to add a new key into the dictionary, it already exists which throws an exception. My proposal for now is to not add keys that already exist. This doesn't fix the fundamental issue that some key bindings won't work for some keyboard layouts, but they wouldn't work currently anyways. The temporary fix will resolve the unhandled exception so that errors aren't being generated and Get-PSReadLineOption works for different keyboard layouts beyond En-US.

RobertSpir commented 6 years ago

Confirming that with this fix applied everything works with slovak keyboard layout

eliohann commented 6 years ago 
      Confirming that with this fix applied everything works with slovak keyboard layout

Can you explain how to Apply fix ? can find how to do it …

SteveL-MSFT commented 6 years ago

@eliohann you would need a new build of PSReadLine. There isn't a new beta coming soon, but you can pick up the nightly build which has the fix: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/lzybkr/PSReadLine/branch/master/artifacts

Nicolas01 commented 5 years ago

@eliohann I installed the nightly build by replacing files in C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSReadline\2.0.0 And now it works with my custom keyboard layout !

Kralizek commented 5 years ago

Is there a better solution now? I tried to use the artifact from the AppVeyor build but I get

Cannot load PSReadline module. Console is running without PSReadline.

lzybkr commented 5 years ago

You could try this build from this PR.

It's not tested on Linux/Mac yet and I expect I've broken some things there, but I think it fixes all the issues on Windows.

LaurentDardenne commented 5 years ago

I have the same error with a new install of Windows 10 Fr (1809).

Installing the specified build no longer causes the exception, but some key combinations no longer work, for example ctrl-space.

@LaurentDardenne that is a known issue and being addressed by https://github.com/lzybkr/PSReadLine/pull/831

Strangely enough, I was able to get the previous version to work by simply renaming the 2.0.0 folder so that it doesn't respect the pattern.

I might be very well be exposed to some error but so far I haven't experienced anything strange.

silverqx commented 5 years ago

@RobertSpir How did you downgrade to 1.2? I don't know how to downgrade, I created #860 question when I describe what I tried
