Can I get intellisense in powershell?

Just starting out with powershell, I would love to have intellisense support for writing powershell scripts. Tab-completion works great so you would think it would exist somewhere, but the only thing I can find when Googling is an article from 2007 - hardly up to date.

Is there an extension somewhere that gives you this ability? How about an editor?

+5 A:

Have a look on PowerTab.

I second this recommendation. It doesn't replace a good editor, but this is such a great addition to the console.

Try this -

http://powergui.org/index.jspa

This is a good editor with intellisense

+1 for recommending PowerGUI - its editor component has recently been made available as a Visual Studio Extension too, see my answer on [Anyone found a PowerShell Syntax highlighting or IntelliSense plugin for Visual Studio?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/271292/anyone-found-a-powershell-syntax-highlighting-or-intellisense-plugin-for-visual-s/3345147#3345147) for details.

Also PowerShell Plus (commercial). Or you can wait for PowerShell 2.0 and hopefully get Graphical Windows PowerShell.

Why wait for V2? Why not use it now. It is very close to official release. (One month?) I think that unless you have a good reason for staying with V1, you should move to V2. The Integrated Scripting Environment is indeed pretty nice, and it does have intellisense.

A:

I think it is the best way that you write TabExpansion.
There are no Autocomplteion tools for posh, like C#'s IntelliSence.
They can't get even $_'s properties even if you use just a standard Cmdlet.
