I’m evaluating a trial version download, and I’ve got a few questions. Could you help me understand the below?
When I hover over variables in the script pane during debug, I expect them to show the current VALUE of the variable, not just the datatype. Right now it just shows the name of the variable I'm hovering over. Not helpful. I want to see my running values instead. Yes, I see the variables pane, but it’s cumbersome and noisy. I like the PoSh ISE hover showing me the value better.
Is there any way to change the behavior?
Why don't custom functions show up in intellisense in either the script window or the console? I load functions from custom modules, and they don’t show up in my script even though I’ve imported the module first. The show up fine if I’m writing in the psm1 file directly. What gives?
The UI keeps capitalizing my variables. I don't like that, how do I change style preferences?
Console history scroll shows individual lines from commands. How can we see the whole recall if we execute a block across multiple lines ( “`” and CrLf)?
How can I debug a module file when I'm executing a command F8 from a script tab? i.e. put a break point in my psm1 and hit it when I’m running the command that calls it from my ps1
Function Enums aren't tab completing ( e.g. -ErrorAction * ). This seems to have been transient and has gone away after restarting the UI.
How can I change default header info in new .ps1? Is there a default template for a new ps1 that I can edit?
Context Help : COOL! Does it rely on internet connection? Doesn't seem to update reliably. Is functionality limited in trial? Is there any way to import? (I my dev box has very restricted access to the internet)
I’m very much enjoying my trial, but I’m trying to learn new features and limitations (and shortcut keys). I realize that much is available in help and online, and I’ve found some answers there, but it is not super, and I’m not sure I’m asking the right questions. Please help me adjust as quickly as possible to this UI!
