Tab completion powershell.exe - list alternatives?

Question

I have never used PowerShell before and played with it a bit, it looks like it uses the cmd.exe style to complete the tab (fill in the first candidate, and then you can use the tab to cycle through other alternatives). I would prefer, for example, bash works, where, if there are several candidates, it displays a list of them.

Is there an easy way to enable this, by chance?

Answer 1

I saw how this is implemented with an add-in called PowerTab ( original post ). There are several editors for editing the script that support this type of Intellisense dropdown. Check out the free PowerGUI .

Answer 2

Do you want PSReadline: https://github.com/lzybkr/psreadline

It includes many of the completion and shell features you can expect from bash, etc.
