Recently I updated my PowerShell to version 7.3.0 and when typing it shows suggestions. But when I press the Tab key it doesn't autocomplete the suggestion. How to set the Tab
as the autocompletion key?
So after doing some research I found out,
RightArrow
key.InlineView
and ListView
by pressing F2
Source: Using predictors in PSReadLine
So here's how to change key bindings
Set Tab
key as the keybinding for auto complete (AcceptSuggestion)
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Chord "Tab" -Function AcceptSuggestion
Set RightArrow
key as the keybinding for accepting the next word in the suggestion (ForwardWord)
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Chord "RightArrow" -Function ForwardWord
Note :
You need to run these each time you open a new session. To avoid that add these to profile.ps1
file. More on Profiles
To change these just for the current user,
Open a PowerShell window and run,
notepad $profile.CurrentUserAllHosts
OR
To change these for all users,
Open a PowerShell window with Run as Administrator
and run,
Notepad $profile.AllUsersAllHosts
If the file doesn't exist, create a new one.
Add these lines and save.
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Chord "Tab" -Function AcceptSuggestion
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Chord "RightArrow" -Function ForwardWord
