Using Editor Commands
Check out the Using Editor Commands guide in the PowerShell Editor Services documentation. I also highly recommend setting up a hotkey for the editor command menu. Here is mine as an example.
{ "key": "ctrl+shift+c", "command": "PowerShell.ShowAdditionalCommands",
"when": "editorLangId == 'powershell'" },Settings
This module is built to be compatible with the project structure from my Plaster template SSPowerShellBoilerplate. If you prefer a different structure you can configure the paths with a workspace settings file. You can create a default settings file in the current workspace with the New-ESCSSettingsFile function.
