Importing

Import-CommandSuite

This function will import all editor commands in the module and initialize event handlers.

Using Editor Commands

Check out the Using Editor Commands guide in the PowerShell Editor Services documentation. I also highly recommend setting up a hotkey for the editor command menu. Here is mine as an example.

{ "key": "ctrl+shift+c",   "command": "PowerShell.ShowAdditionalCommands",
                              "when": "editorLangId == 'powershell'" },

Settings

This module is built to be compatible with the project structure from my Plaster template SSPowerShellBoilerplate. If you prefer a different structure you can configure the paths with a workspace settings file. You can create a default settings file in the current workspace with the New-ESCSSettingsFile function.
