Is there any Auto Completion feature in Powershell Graphical version?
I could not find it.

For a product with a mature editor and extensive auto completion
functionality Check out Powershell Plus. @

Hey Sarath,

both Sapien's PrimalScript and iTripoli's Admin Script Editor have some form
of autocompletion. CTRL+Space gives you a list
of stuff you can choose.

Unfortunately none of them are context sensitive. By that I mean, the list
of members you get for an object, is not relative
to that object, but is a big fixed list always.

I know iTripoli is working on that, and that they expect (when I say expect,
I say so in a completely non-commiting way) to
have real intellisense in place by the end of Q1 2008. And I am SO looking
forward to that !

If you mean autocompletion directly in Powershell, you simply write e.g.
the object name, then the dot (e.g. you write "$a."
and then press the TAB button. That won't show you a list, but it'll cycle
through the available members for that object.
And those are relative to the object, not a generalized list.

Hope that helps

It is basically Windows PowerShell, but with some extra bells and whistles.

There's a video you can checkout on the site.

To second Richard's suggestion, PowerGUI comes with a Script Editor with
Intellisense, Syntax highlighting, a debugger, etc. It isn't a replacement
for PowerShell. It is an editor that works with PowerShell script files.
It's also an admin console that can be used to create a custom admin
interface to execute PowerShell scripts. And it's truly free, as Richard
suggested. I highly recommend it (and not just because I work on the team,
either).

is an update (1.0.13) to the PowerGUI script editor due out any day now that
has nice auto-completion of script variables. And you can't beat the
price - it is free! :-)

Powershell Plus is the only environment with extensive context sensitive
intellisense, where the objects persist over more than one run. Its more
interactive that the other traditional editors, which treat powershell
as if it were a compiled language. Additional as well as being an editor
and debugger, it is a full implementation of the powershell host and a
viable replacement for powershell for day to day tasks.

To second Karl and provide some rather neutral advice I would have
expected from MVPs and user group leaders in the first place,
here's a number of useful links to editors with PowerShell
Intellisense capability (in the order when they appeared on the
market):

PowerShell Analyzer (PSA) at http://www.powershell.com, it cost $129.
Comes with many data analyzers and rich cmdlet help
PowerShell Plus at http://www.powershell.com, it is completely free
right now and will require a (probably very reasonable) license for
commercial use in the future. Comes with an advanced multi-doc
debugger, true object-oriented intellisense and a lot more
PrimalScript 2007 Professional at http://www.sapien.com, starts from
$279 and contains some PowerShell support along with a number of other
script languages
PowerGUI at http://www.powergui.org, it's *currently* free, has a
basic PS debugger and some intellisense. It started out as a treebased
GUI for PS, and Quest is now adding more and more editing
capabilities.
AdminScriptEditor at http://www.adminscripteditor.com/, from $99,
supports PowerShell currently only rudimentary, however they are
putting a lot of effort in it and added a .NET forms designer.
PowerShell V2 Grapical Host as part of PowerShell V2 CTP, free, alpha
status, no debugging, no intellisense, very early release
(if I missed anyone, my apologies)

I really leave it up to anyone here which approach you like best.
However, since I am developing PowerShellPlus, I obviously encourage
you give PowerShell Plus a try and tell me what you think.
I believe it has the most advanced intellisense and debugging.
