PowerShell Editor Services is a PowerShell module that provides common functionality needed to enable a consistent and robust PowerShell development experience in almost any editor or integrated development environment (IDE).

The functionality in PowerShell Editor Services is already available in the following editor extensions:

• The VSCode PowerShell extension, also available in Azure Data Studio
• coc-powershell, a vim/neovim PowerShell plugin
• The IntelliJ PowerShell plugin
• lsp-powershell, an Emacs PowerShell plugin

• The Language Service provides common editor features for the PowerShell language:
  • Code navigation actions (find references, go to definition)
  • Statement completions (IntelliSense)
  • Real-time semantic analysis of scripts using PowerShell Script Analyzer
• The Debugging Service simplifies interaction with the PowerShell debugger (breakpoints, variables, call stack, etc)
• The $psEditor API enables scripting of the host editor
• A full, terminal-based Integrated Console experience for interactive development and debugging
