PowerShell ISE Keyboard Shortcuts
I prefer to use PowerShell ISE over the standard Windows PowerShell console. Here are some keyboard shortcuts that you may find helpful. Just make sure that you use the 64-bit version of PowerShell ISE and not the 32-bit. If you use Windows PowerShell ISE in Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7 then you are using the 64-bit version. If you use Windows PowerShell ISE (x86) then you are using the 32-bit version.
PowerShell Command | Keyboard Shortcut |
New Script (pane) | Ctrl + N |
Open Script (or other file) | Ctrl + O |
Save | Ctrl + S |
Save As | Alt +F + A |
Run | F5 |
Run Selection | F8 |
New PowerShell Tab | Ctrl + T |
Close PowerShell Tab | Ctrl + W |
Close Script | Ctrl + F4 |
New Remote PowerShell Tab | Ctrl + Shift + R |
