This may not seem earth shattering, but it’s major news in my world (I’m a 1 finger typist)
In the V3 CTP, you now have the ability to use autocomplete in the console, in the middle of a line without losing the rest of the line.
This allows you to do this:
Get-Mailbox |Select-Object Name, Alias, Office, Database
WARNING: By default, only the first 1000 items are returned. Use the ResultSize parameter to specify the number of
items returned. To return all items, specify “-ResultSize Unlimited”.
Now, a normal typist would probably type in the whole ResultSize parameter, but I’m lazy, so I just go back to the Get-Mailbox and insert a -R<tab> to select from the available “R” parameters.
Of course, I still need to type “Unlimited” after the ResultSize, so perhaps this isn’t the best example ![]()
Play with the <tab> within the console, and see what you think.

It’s absolutely an excellent new feature.

Have you tried tab with unlimited? I know struct types usually work. Also try typing correctly for 3 days, I bet you pick it up

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘Have you tried tab with unlimited?”?
I’ve tried typing correctly for years and years….
