How do I access variable from command line after script finished

[artisticcheese]

I'm have unpleasant feeling that I will be told "it's not possible".
In ISE and every other GUI powershell editor if I have a script which I'm working on and say I put "$x=10" and then execute script, I can go back to console and check value of that variable after script stopped running. It does not work this way in PowerShell Studio or I'm missing something?

PowerShell Studio allows you to run your scripts directly in the console (Ctrl + Shift + F5) this way you can query the values at will and maintain a persistent session.

If you wish to use the internal PowerShell Studio host, you will need to set a breakpoint and Debug (F5) the script. When the debugger breaks, you can use the Debug Console or the Watch Panel to query the values. Note: PowerShell Studio will also retain a snapshot of the session variables at the last breakpoint when the debug session ends.

Thanks. Is there a way to modify ribbon to have run in console as default Run method?

You can't change the Ribbon itself, but you can add the "Run in Console" button to quick access bar by right-clicking on the button in the ribbon and selecting "Add to Quick Access Toolbar" from the context menu:

You can also use the Ctrl + Shift + F5 keyboard shortcut.
