When ISE starts up, it should by default (make that configurable: always, prompt, never) restore all files that were open in the previous session.

PowerShell needs a Compile verb, especially in a world of DevOps. Looking at the approved verb list, there are mediocre subtitutes that could be used in its place (Start-Compilation, Invoke-Compile, etc.), but these all use an inappropriate verb with the a variant of the verb in the noun. When the verb is finding its way into the noun, it's time for a new verb. Please add Compile to the list of approved verbs in an upcoming release.

Add a GET method to the DSC webservice so that we can query the database for data other than individual node data which you have to know the Agent ID. If I want to build status dashbaord for all of my DSC nodes I then have to store and manage Agent ID's in another CMDB so I can query the webservice individually for each agent status. We used to have this capability in WMF 4 but it seems this is no longer possible with the reporting changes in WMF 5.

instead of
$splat = @{name = "value"}
verb-noun @splat

Allow verb-noun @{name = "value"}

This would make for a much cleaner and more natural look to parameters. Letting them be in the usual place of after and below the function.

There is a stackoverflow question relating to this, that should explain it more - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35188172/why-do-i-need-to-splat-to-a-variable-first

this may be something that MS is hoping an add-on fixes down the road, but I'd just like to voice that it would be awesome to be able to sync/create/merge branches directly with github from within ISE. Even as an infrastructure admin things would move so much smoother if I didn't have to "tool hop".

Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod commands only support TLS 1.0 protocol. We need to have a native support for newer TLS (1.2) versions for modern web interfaces.

Double clicked strings and integers should be clearly highlighted (like in Notepad++ or in VSCode) if there are multiple occurrences of the same word or number.

Add a PowerShell module to manage Windows Updates like you can now with the GUI. Like checking for updates, installing all updates, or a selection of updates, creating a report of pending updates, etc. The Windows Update options in the Server Configuration Manager (sconfig) are very limited.

I know this has been discussed, just wanted to make sure to have it in UserVoice. It would be great if it was possible to return information from a resources, so that a later resource could use that information for configuration at runtime.

Example. My configuration apply a new certificate. I would like to write a resource that can get the new certificate thumbprint so that a future resources in the config can use that thumbprint. This is something that Chef allows.

So, something like a global variable that lives during runtime of the config.

Thanks for considering!!

Since windows 10 1803 when running a script from the script pane, the cursor switches from the script pane to the console pane.

To reproduce: Open powershell ise on windows 10 1803. Enter in a basic script (ex: Write-Host "test") and hit F5. The cursor will move to the console pane so if you start typing the output will be in the console pane.

The expected behavior would be to leave the cursor in the script pane so that you can continue to edit the script. This was the behavior previous to windows 10 1803.

In PowerShell v3 there was a "feature" added, that moved cursor/ scrolled down to prompt whenever console window gets focus. It makes selecting text in output from previous commands a real nightmare.

I would love to get rid off this "feature", or if not possible - at least have an option to turn it off. If possible, make it a default behavior.

Restarting the Powershell process independent of the entire ISE would be a beneficial feature for ISE users during testing and debugging, to clear variables, sessions, scopes, classes, etc... If you are working in the ISE and have several script files open on the editor it is cumbersome to have to save files, restart the entire ISE application and reopen files etc...

Right now Test-Path has no way of checking for the existence of a hidden file. I would suggest -force to search all files (hidden or not), and/or -hidden to test only for hidden files.

If you enable an https listener on a server and use it with an autoenrolled certificate, the listener will not be updated when the new autoenrollment takes place as the thumbprint will be hardcoded to the listener. This makes the technologie to use an https listener on all your servers to a big administrative burden as you have to keep the listeners up-to-date. Please develop some solution that this certificate will stay up-to-date with each new autoenrollment (like with a scheduled task which starts after autoenrollment scheduled task)

Thanks

This cmdlet, rather than listing all certificates on the machine, which is how a Get-Cmdlet tents to work, instead Requests a new certificate from a Certificate Authority.

This is NOT the way that Get-* cmdlets are supposed to work. And we already have a perfectly good Request-* verb sitting out there, which would be the right verb for this cmdlet.

This would consitute a breaking change, but I think it's frankly broken today, so I'd call it a 'restorative change' instead.
