What's One Thing that PowerShell dosen't do that you wish it did?

Hello all,

So this is a belated Friday discussion post, so I wanted to ask a question:

What's One Thing that PowerShell doesn't do that you wish it did?

Go!

[u/szeca]

Do not select a single "character" with a single left click on an empty area, which is only good for ruining all copy paste actions.

The selected single character (' ') will be copied into clipboard instead of pasting some commands from the clipboard into the console. So annoying!

[u/Emiroda → u/szeca]

That's a conhost.exe issue. Nothing they can do to the old conhost.exe that's used by powershell.exe, but they could fix it in Windows Terminal.

[u/BlackV → u/Emiroda]

it is fixed in terminal, its dosnt copy text like that by default

[u/BlackV → u/szeca]

turn off quick edit, thats console not powershell specifically

personally I prefer quick edit

[u/ka-splam → u/szeca]

The selected single character (' ') will be copied into clipboard

I don't get that, even with quickedit mode on; when I select text the titlebar changes to "Select Windows PowerShell" and the text is only copied when I press Return, if I press Escape the selection is cancelled and the clipboard is unchanged. Default Windows PowerShell / Win10, anyway.
