Powershell Core Auto-complete with PSReadline

I am a heavy user of Powershell Core in combination with Windows Terminal. Did you know you could have auto-complete in your Powershell?

Use PSReadLine module to achieve that.

You can install it by:

Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -AllowPrerelease -Scope CurrentUser -Force -SkipPublisherCheck

Then you can change powershell $PROFILE to set it up every time you run the Powershell.

From powershell run notepad $PROFILE and add the content below to the end of the file:

notepad $PROFILE

And add the content below to it.

#Autocomplete
Import-Module PSReadLine
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function MenuComplete
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key UpArrow -Function HistorySearchBackward
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key DownArrow -Function HistorySearchForward
Set-PSReadLineOption -ShowToolTips
Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionSource History

Save and restart Powershell Core, and you’ll get the auto-complete feature!
