DESCRIPTION

The PowerShell file type editing provides simple hilighting of PowerShell files, abbreviations, folding, item-list support

Abbreviations


The installation comes with a default abbreviation file for PowerShell file editing which can be used by writing short abbreviations like "if", "el" (else) or "fu" (function) - and then pressing the key-binding for the expand-abbrev-handle(3) command. The list of abbreviations can be used interactively in the GUI version of MicroEmacs using the abbrev-list(3) command.

Auto Layout


The indentation mechanism is enabled which performs automatic layout of the text. restyle-region(3) and restyle-buffer(3) are available to reformat (re-layout) selected sections of the buffer, or the whole buffer, respectively.

Folding and Information Hiding


Generic folding is enabled within the PowerShell file. The folds occur about functions, classes and enums if these declarations are starting at the beginning of one line and ending at a line starting with a curly brace. collapse-all(3) (un)folds all regions in the file, collapse-current(3) (un)folds the current region.

Navigation via Item List


The PowerShell mode offers beside folding as well support for displaying an outline of the functions, classes and enums for easy navigation using the item-list(3) command.

Short Cuts


The short cut keys used within the buffer are:-

C-c C-c - Comment out the current line.
C-c C-d - Uncomment the current line.
C-c C-e - Comment to the end of the line with stars (#).
A-C-i - Restyle the current region.
esc q - Format a comment.
esc o - Format a comment.
f2 - (Un)fold the current region.
C-f2 - (Un)fold all regions.
f6 - List items.
esc f6 - Close item list.

NOTES

The hilighting and other features are typically extended using a file myps1.emf.

BUGS

None reported so far but many features are added just recently and have not been tested throughly as our main development platform is Linux.
