Created Issue: IDEA!! - Multiple Tabs :-) [10183]

darrenkingham — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:02:42 GMT

I absolutely love this application, the only thing missing for me is the chance to have multiple consoles open and available via tabs at the top of the window. Come on, if you don't do it then I might have to try and write one and I don't want to do that LOL. Nice one for the product!!

Commented Issue: Calculated Width is still wrong --- causing awkward wrapping [10178]

nsulikow — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:41:15 GMT

The host is still calculating the width wrong that it gives to PowerShell. The output of this shouldn't wrap, but does:

"A" * $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize.Width

Comments: Sorry, I meant: FormattedText

"A" * $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize.Width

Comments: Good point. I think there is something weird in the code, as the character width seems to be hardcoded. I would explore using System.Windows.Media.TextFormatting.TextFormatter to calculate the text width...

"A" * $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize.Width

Comments: I tried that initially, but it totally wrecks the output when it's table formatted. To see what I mean try piping through Out-String -Width 10000

"A" * $Host.UI.RawUI.WindowSize.Width

Comments: I wonder if the solution to this would be to return a very large width (say 10000).... since the RichTextBox control would already take care of wrapping long lines...

Edited Issue: Breakpoints don't work [10182]

nsulikow — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:27:56 GMT

If I type the following lines in Powershell the breakpoint gets hit and I get the [DBG] prompt (debugging mode):

function bar {
$a = 123
if ($a -gt 100)
{
$a
foo
}
}
function foo {
$a = 321
Write-Host $a
}
Set-PSBreakpoint -Command foo
bar

In PoshConsole the breakpoint don't seem to work.

Commented Issue: Errors when setting $Host.PrivateData.Settings values [10180]

I've been trying to run the quake mode script as in the PoshConsole profile but am getting the following errors which means the console doesn't work as expected.

Comments: Those settings are old and no longer needed. With the current build you should be able to get quake mode merely by dragging the window near the top of the screen and letting it dock there.

Commented Feature: Running vim in poshconsole fails [10175]

Jaykul — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:54:29 GMT

Trying to launch vim in poshconsole seems to cause vim to get stuck in some kind of startup loop or something and you can't cancel it in poshconsole, so you need to both close poshconsole and terminate vim.exe in task manager.

Starting gvim (gui vim) works fine though.

I've tried with both the latest beta and the latest mercurial source code running the Net4 64bit version. I don't know why vim would cause this. Works fine in regular PowerShell.
Comments: I'm updating this just to report status (I still have no plans to implement native interactive console app support). I'm going to try to do two things here: 1) add a black list like PowerShell ISE uses to prevent you from launching such apps. 2) add a kill switch to automatically kill interactive apps and add them to the black list if you launch them accidentally. I'd welcome any contributions toward this, but since there aren't really any other rich consoles that do anything like that, I expect others have found the problem as intractable as I did.

Comments: I'm updating this just because I finally came up with a plan for how to "deal" with this: I'm going to create a "black list" like PowerShell ISE uses to mark native applications which definitely do not work. I'd welcome any contributions in this area, but at this point I don't have any plans to try to implement support for native interactive applications.

Edited Issue: Tab completion problem [10181]

Jaykul — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:43:36 GMT

When tab completion does not find choices it repeats the command. For instance, there is no cmdlet that starts with "out-e", so if you type in the prompt something like "1,2,3 | out-e" followed by a tab the prompt changes to "1,2,3 | 1,2,3 | out-e" type tab again and you get "1,2,3 | 1,2,3 | 1,2,3 | 1,2,3 | out-e", etc.
I'm not sure this is the right fix, i fixed it by wrapping the following lines in the method "private void OnTabPressed(KeyEventArgs e)" in ConsoleControl.EventHandlers.cs with the if (choices.Count > 0){}

if (choices.Count > 0)
{
string tabExpansion = e.IsModifi.....
CurrentCommand = cmdline.Subst....
}

Created Issue: Win+S hotkey doesn't work properly [10179]

Jaykul — Thu, 26 May 2011 03:03:39 GMT

It seems like the Win+S shrinks the window on the first time I press the key combination and then hides on a second kit,
Also, although WIn+C brings it back the first time, if I hit WIN+S to hide it again, it doesn't seem to be working correctly.
