Question

I’m not sure what is the best approach for asking these question, so I’m putting them all together here. After some googling these questions didn’t have an obvious answer.

1) In Powershell ISE is there a way to change the “run selection” quick-key/hot-key so that it’s something other than the default (which is F8)?

2) For that matter, is there a way to add quick-key bindings without adding a menu?

3) Can one add key cords to the ISE like in Visual Studio (Ctrl-d, Ctrl-h) for example.

Answer 1

I don’t think you can change, but you can add another key to do the same:

function invoke-selection
{
    iex $psISe.CurrentFile.Editor.SelectedText
}
$psISE.CurrentPowerShellTab.AddOnsMenu.Submenus.Add("Run selection",{invoke-selection},'f7')

Add the above to your Powershell ISE profile – $profile from ISE
