Some more work has been happening on PowerShell intellisense and we want to get some more eyes/testing on it. Please do a little exploratory testing in the terminal with the setting on, mostly using the terminal as you would normally do and report issues for when it didn't work as expected or was annoying.

Setup:

Set "terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.suggestEnabled": true and create a new pwsh (6+) terminal. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell?view=powershell-7.4 for how to install the latest.

Usage:

Intellisense should show up based on the current prompt when you press ctrl+space:

It should show up automatically when you type the - character:

I think after some of the most recent changes, the suggestions just disappear on first input.

@cpendery this is what I was seeing on macOS before. I made a change to fix it and it seems to have regressed again 🤔

the font is off for me

[Tyriar]

@amunger could you make an issue with your settings? I haven't seen that happen in a long time

the font is off for me

Same for me But is there a way we don’t have to press the ctrl+space and should show up suggestions as we type just like how it shows up in editor

anyways this is really cool Nice work👏

@abhijit-chikane it's meant to show when you type -, something is wrong if that's now happening

Well i was talking about the font is off for me as well It does shows up when I press ctrl+space But I was saying it would be much better if we could show the suggestions as we type just like editor And one thing I have notice that the suggestions shows only for first word

@abhijit-chikane thanks for the feedback, maybe we can improve that 👍

Had to take myself off testing macOS unfortunately as my macbook is getting repaired.

[joaomoreno]

Blocked until: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/211132 @Tyriar is aware of the fix required. Will shift focus to other TPIs while that gets released
