PowerShell: Command history is not available using up and down arrows

[philibertperusse]

When inside inshellisence, using up or down arrows will not bring up commands from the command history.

Applicable to PowerShell, not tested with bash or other shells.

Closing as this was fixed in 0.0.1-rc.5

it stuck in

cd ~\Developer\intro-to-react-by-day\day-10-ts\ ; bun run dev

This Might Help:

• if i add trailing spaces in ConsoleHost_history.txt file after run dev it's doesn't stuck
• but trailing spaces doesn't always help eg:
  1. with trailing spaces code --user-data-dir="${HOME}/.vscode-root" ❌ stuck
  2. without trailing spaces code --user-data-dir="${HOME}/.vscode-root" ❌ stuck
  3. with .exe code.exe --user-data-dir="${HOME}/.vscode-root" ✔ doesn't stuck

@cpendery is there a workaround like

[bindings.previousSuggestion] 
key = "up"
ctrl = true

this is really annoying

I can't replicate this on 0.0.1-rc.16. Can you try on 0.0.1-rc.18 and run inshellisense with the -V option? The logs will be at ~/.inshellisense/inshellisense.log and it would help alot if you could provide them here

• the bug was caused by putting plugging at top of "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\profile.ps1"
• putting plugging at the end of file solve the issue

# ---------------- inshellisense shell plugin ----------------
$__IsCommandFlag = ([Environment]::GetCommandLineArgs() | ForEach-Object { $_.contains("-Command") }) -contains $true
$__IsNoExitFlag = ([Environment]::GetCommandLineArgs() | ForEach-Object { $_.contains("-NoExit") }) -contains $true
$__IsInteractive = -not $__IsCommandFlag -or ($__IsCommandFlag -and $__IsNoExitFlag)
if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($env:ISTERM) -and [Environment]::UserInteractive -and $__IsInteractive) {
  is -s powershell
  Stop-Process -Id $pid
}
# end of file

nb: but this bug still occurs with git-bash-windows "C:\Program Files\Git\etc\bash.bashrc" for 0.0.1-rc.16 and 0.0.1-rc.18

# ---------------- inshellisense shell plugin ----------------
if [[ -z "${ISTERM}" && $- = *i* && $- != *c* ]]; then
	shopt -q login_shell
	login_shell=$?
	if [ $login_shell -eq 0 ]; then
		is -s bash --login ; exit
	else
		is -s bash ; exit
	fi
fi
# end of file

I would like to report and add another very similar problem in this discussion, the problem is that you cannot delete the whole word when pressing Ctrl + delete key. This happens when the inshellisense session is live, you can only delete one letter at a time, I noticed this in my powershell terminal using windows 11.
