Awesome update! I love the file system completion!

The only thing I've noticed thus far:

Tab Completion window leaves left & right horizontal lines upon disappearing (in my console window anyway...)

Something I have always meant to ask:

Is it possible to have the tab completion work in side of parens/braces/etc? For example:

PS # ii[tab] -> PS # Invoke-Item

PS # (ii[tab] -> PS # (ii

Anyway, thanks for all the hard work on this incredible plugin!

I do have cleartype enabled. Also, I just realized I wrote horizontal lines, I meant *vertical* lines where the left & right sides of the menu border are.

Clint, I think this is a "feature" of cleartype

Using PowerShell TabExpansion for PromptNesting

I quite like the file system completion functionality, though the Bash guys at work.. don't seem trust it for some reason :-)

FEATURE REQUEST.

In the case where my dir structure is

app.sln

app2.sln

I'd normally hit tab twice i.e a[TAB][TAB] simpley cos I _know_ thats whats in there... But when this happens I feel my eyes drawn to the Menu that appears... and I feel that this slows me down. ( cos you know I'm an uber geek at heart)

Is it possible to Display Menu AND print out the file that is being matched on the command line?

This way I don't have to take my eyes off a single point on the screen, unless I really want to search for something.

Though, I imagine problems with wrapping "long command line"/"file names".

But it's something that'd speed me up at least.

Cheers,

Rob Lancaster

Rob,

I'm with you, that is also why I implemented TAB and shift-Tab also in to list so I get hte point

Only it might be possible, but at the moment the current typed characters are show, this was hard to implement already

so I think this would take some difficult tricks to clear the screen again, also I think scrolling with arrow would be slown down more, and I think it is at the limit for speed allready for big lists.

I might look into it once, but can't put it to high,

try not to look if your are sure

what you can also do is change this part at the top if the consolelib.ps1

# Not Show List just forward input in case less then 2 options

if ($Content.Length -lt 2){Return $Content}

if you pick a larger value e.g 4 the list will not popup for lists less then four items

might make that configurable in next version, but watch out it can also confuse you into tinking there is only one entry :)

h.t.h.
