Keystrokes: Keyboard Shortcuts at the Prompt, Predictions and History, Fully Used.

Updated November 10, 2026

1. Keyboard Shortcuts at the Prompt (Apprentice): Home and End jump to either end of the command line, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right move a word at a time, Ctrl+Backspace deletes a word, Ctrl+Z undoes an edit, Esc clears the line, and Ctrl+Space shows every choice that fits where you're typing.
2. Predictions and History, Fully Used (Journeyman): Set-PSReadLineOption makes the prediction list your standard view and lets PSReadLine remember 10000 commands instead of 4096, # and Tab bring back a command from this window by a word or its number, and Select-String finds every match in the saved history file at once.
