PSReadLine

This can get you a part of the way, extracted from my PowerShell profile: ## # PSReadLine, see https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine ## ## behaviour of Tab key autocomplete Set-PSReadlineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function MenuComplete ## From docs: ## With these bindings, up arrow/down arrow will work like PowerShell/cmd if the ## current command line is blank. If you've entered some text though, it will ## search the history for commands that start with the currently entered text. ## ## Like zsh completion. Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key UpArrow -Function HistorySearchBackward Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key DownArrow -Function HistorySearchForward These will allow you to autocomplete previous commands from the tidpids you already types, so it no longer searches linearly through the histor

I was just trying to get a release candidate of PowerShell 7 working on macOS and Windows yesterday. It was a frustrating experience, because many essential keybindings are broken out of the box on macOS (Terminal.app, iTerm2) and Windows (using the new Windows Terminal). For example: ctrl-space is the usual shortcut to trigger menu completion, doesn't work. It's not difficult to make custom keybindings once you figure this out, but many people's first encounter with PowerShell is going to be missing some critical UX features. Not a great situation. https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/issues/639 https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/879
