PSESHelperLibrary

The PSESHelperLibrary module provides tools to assist in interacting with PowerShell Editor Services along with some commands for general editing use.

This project is at a very early stage and does not currently have an official release. But feel free to try it out and let me know needs to change.

Features

PSEditorCommand attribute and Import-EditorCommand

Tag functions as editor commands with the PSEditorCommand attribute. Import them with the Import-EditorCommand function to automatically add the Context parameter and register them with Editor Services.

#requires -Module PSESHelperLibrary
using module PSESHelperLibrary

function Invoke-MyEditorCommand {
    [PSEditorCommand(DisplayName='Invoke my editor command')]
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param()
    if ($Context) {
        $Context.CurrentFile.InsertText('I am an editor command!')
    }
}
Import-EditorCommand -Command Invoke-MyEditorCommand

Or import all the editor commands tagged in a module with Import-EditorCommand -Module MyModule.
