Issue Description

It would be fantastic if the PowerShell extension could be configured to run code in the terminal window with F8, rather than the "PowerShell Output" window. It's really handy to be able to interact with a real live terminal when debugging a script, and being able to manually create variables that can be used by the code snippets you run. This basically describes how the PowerShell ISE works.

Thanks!

try this in your keyboard shortcuts

// Place your key bindings in this file to overwrite the defaults
[
{
"key": "f8",
"command": "workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText",
"when": "editorTextFocus && editorLangId == 'powershell'"
}
]

Update is out, give it a shot and let me know what you think!

[AndrewRichardson2]

Already have, it does exactly what I was hoping it would do. I don't know if you guys already had this feature on the roadmap, but regardless thanks for getting it implemented!

Awesome update. Does everything i hope so far. No more switching back to ISE. Only thing i miss is go to defenition in modules. But that's in the works. 😀 Op 15 mrt. 2017 1:27 a.m. schreef "AndrewRichardson2" < notifications@github.com>:
