Visual Studio Code POWERSHELL: COMMAND EXPLORER

Question

With MS killing ISE for PowerShell 7 and forcing people to move to Visual Studio Code.... there is a feature of ISE that is lacking in the new ISE Shell Plugin for Visual Studio Code. I can't seem to find a way to Filter the Command Explorer like I could in ISE. For instance.... say I want to see all the SharePoint Online commands available. In the old ISE I could just type SPO in the search and it would show me all the commands available with SPO in the name. If I wanted to narrow it down even further, I could change the Module drop down to just the module.

How do you do this in Visual Studio Code? As far as I can tell you just have to scroll through the giant list of commands??

Answer 1

1. Click any command in the Powershell Command Explorer.
2. Press Ctrl+F.
3. Enter your search.

Answer 2

VS Code is pretty versatile. If the ISE behavior makes you comfortable, read this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/dev-cross-plat/vscode/how-to-replicate-the-ise-experience-in-vscode?view=powershell-5.1

I also use the following script to create connections to O365 and keep my plugins up-to-date. Can you do something like this in VS Code?
