Small update in PowerShellRun v0.16.0.

If ScriptBlock or Function entries have default parameters, you can see and overwrite those values with their "Invoke with arguments" action.

We could think of it as a snippet manager.

Hey #PowerShell peeps! The new auto complete thing in VSCode is messing up our terminals. It doesn't auto complete actual functions. Give this an upvote to get a fix in to the backlog and (hopefully) improve it!

Updated my GitHub profile and added introduction to the projects I'm currently working on. I think it explains my activity better than just pined repositories.

I'm looking forward to expanding these projects and having fun with the PowerShell community in 2026🎍

I've added a TabCompletion enhancement to PowerShellRun v0.13.1.

github.com/mdgrs-mei/Po...

It's similar to PSReadLine's MenuComplete, but the fuzzy finder can handle more completion candidates. The preview window shows the output from Get-Help or the completion ToolTip.

Interesting read.

Do you use PSReadLine's MenuComplete or any module for completions? Maybe a PowerShellRun version of MenuComplete is useful?
