on GitHub

v2.1.0-beta1 - 4/7/2020

You can get the v2.1.0-beta1 version of the PSReadLine module from PowerShell Gallery.
This release includes the prototype to support the fish-like auto-suggestion in PSReadLine.

Currently:

• The only suggestion source is the PSReadLine history file.
  The ultimate goal is to call into a prediction API in PowerShell engine that is powered by a prediction plugin.
• By default, the suggestion text is rendered with the dark black color \x1b[38;5;238m, which works OK with a black background.
  You can change it by running Set-PSReadLineOption -Colors @{ Prediction = '<your-choice-of-color>' }.
• VI mode - now the suggestion is disabled when switching to the command mode, and enabled when switching to insert mode.
• Very limited efforts have been spent on the VI/Emacs experience, so it could be pretty raw for them, and feedback is very welcome.

When using this version of PSReadLine, please add the following key binding to your profile:

Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key "Ctrl+f" -Function ForwardWord

• Pressing RightArrow at the end of current typing will accept the suggestion text
• Pressing Ctrl+f at the end of current typing will accept a word from the suggestion text
• Pressing Ctrl+z will get you back to where you were before accepting all or part of the suggestion
