Issue Description

I am experiencing a problem with running code by selecting code in the editor and pushing F8. The problem is when i have a function and then call it right after.

Function Get-Foo {
    "Foo"
}

Get-Foo

If I highlight the code above in the editor, right click and choose "Run selection" it works as expected. If I highlight the code and press F8 to run the selection, i get an error that says Missing closing '}' in statement block or type definition. At line:0 char:0

Hey guys! Can you check and see what your F8 key is bound to? Mine looks like this:

It could be that you have your F8 key bound to the command workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText. If you do, these multi-line evaluations won't work because of issue #569. Remove that command binding and F8 should start working for you again.

That worked. Thanks!

I actually had to do the opposite: remove F8 from the powershell Run Selection binding, and add F8 to the workbench.actions.terminal.runSelectedText command.
