description

This package improves the powershell (core and desktop) integration as vim 'shell' using a set of scripts. Repo: https://github.com/MiguelBarro/setpwsh Having powershell core (windows or linux) or desktop available is a prerequisite. There is only a single command:     :SetPwsh [Desktop | FtpFromWsl | SshFromWsl] This command will modify the 'shell' and related options to use the powershell. It admits the following argument flags that are only meaningful in windows: + Desktop     Use powershell desktop instead of powershell core. + FtpFromWsl  Sets up netrw global options to rig wsl ftp. + SshFromWsl  Sets up netrw global options to rig wsl ssh & scp. Usage examples: :read !1..5 | \% { [char]($_+96) } will fill the current buffer with: 1  a 2  b 3  c 4  d 5  e Is possible to use filter commands to modify the buffer. The plugin allows creating powershell filters where the buffer input is translated into a powershell pipeline input. The $_ automatic variable will match each input line. For example in the above buffer doing: :1,5!"-->$_<--" will turn the buffer into: 1  -->a<-- 2  -->b<-- 3  -->c<-- 2  -->d<-- 5  -->e<--
