Optimizing Visual Studio Code for PowerShell - 2024 Edition - Justin Grote - PSConfEU 2024
In this lecture on optimizing Visual Studio Code for PowerShell 2024 edition, I, Justin Grote, a data center solutions architect with Allied Digital, delve into various features and optimizations to enhance productivity while working with PowerShell. I express gratitude to the sponsors and my company for supporting my presence at the event. I discuss my contributions to the PowerShell VS Code extension and other modules, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of updates and enhancements made in Visual Studio Code and PowerShell over the past year.
Highlighting the ability to detach editor windows, rearrange the activity bar, and tear off terminals as separate windows, I emphasize the significance of IntelliSense improvements in PowerShell 7.4, courtesy of MartinGC94. I showcase how splatting in PowerShell retains IntelliSense functionality, stress the importance of typing variables for enhanced IntelliSense, and demonstrate how static analysis provides detailed parameter suggestions. Additionally, I mention the new feature allowing for individual extension reloads in VS Code, facilitating troubleshooting and updates without restarting the editor.
Throughout the session, I underscore the importance of leveraging these features to streamline PowerShell development in VS Code, aiming to empower users with tools that make the experience seamless and efficient. We cover significant additions such as pasting images or files directly into markdown files, a new feature exclusive to PowerShell in the Terminal Suggest setting for auto-completion, and the capabilities of VS Code CLI and VS Code Server for remote access.
Moreover, we explore the integration of Dev Tunnels within VS Code for secure port forwarding, enhancing collaboration and testing processes. Efforts to improve the PowerShell extension, particularly in enabling rename support for variables and functions, are discussed, offering users a more robust development experience. The lecture also touches on handling PowerShell in VS Code extensions as a strongly-typed language, challenges faced, ongoing backend work for performance and security, and valuable resources for learning and staying updated.
Audience questions covering topics like setting up dev tunnels, troubleshooting, and utilizing keyboard shortcuts effectively enrich the interactive nature of the lecture. Practical examples showcase solutions for debugging challenges, reinforcing the importance of leveraging available tools and creatively utilizing features to enhance coding productivity. The session aims to empower attendees with insights and practical tools to optimize their coding experiences within Visual Studio Code and PowerShell.
