If you want your mind to be blown, press F2 to toggle between the single predictive text and multi predictive text suggestions 😉

I thought I needed to set it via my profile 🤯

How would I discover this? I opened my terminal window one day and a new feature appeared. No directions, no hints, no way to find help. Literally some greyed out text at my prompt when I open windows terminal with no hint where it came from How do we help the next folks with the next feature?

This is the hard problem. If you add it to the startup text people complain about it, if you don't how to people discover it? If you add, then how do you decide what you add? Daniel's TiPS module would be a great place to have this sort of info, but it's not in box...

learn.microsoft.comUsing predictors in PSReadLine - PowerShellThis article describes the features and usage of Predictive IntelliSense in PSReadLine.

Assuming you’re using PowerShell, it’s a feature of PSReadLine and documented at learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers... You can change the key binding if you want. It’s not Tab because that was already in use for autocomplete (which is different than predictive text)

really? why isn't it tab? your correct. There might be a good reason but right arrow is not intuitive.

Because tab has been tab completion for decades, space is used in typing out your commands, ctrl+space (in PowerShell) has been menu completion for at least a decade. I personally change the suggestions to be a menu and then it's up/down arrow and enter to accept the suggestion.
