Powershell: [feature-request] powershell ISE like GUI environment for the open source cross platform release of powershell

Even this sysadmin related website lists Ten reasons for using powrshell ISE(Integrated scripting environment) GUI than using powershell console.
https://4sysops.com/archives/10-reasons-for-using-powershell-ise-instead-of-the-powershell-console/

powershell ISE is available only on Windows. It will be godsend for sysadmins , if an opensource "powershell ISE" is available cross platform

[rkeithhill]

This exists but it is not a port of ISE. I seriously doubt that will happen as ISE is built on WPF and AFAIK there are no plans to take WPF/XAML cross-platform. However, there is a cross platform editor/debugger for PowerShell. It is a combination of the VSCode editor/debugger with the PowerShell extension for VSCode installed.

i did not requested for port of powershell ISE itself , i requested for powershell ISE like GUI environment.
So, thanks for the pointer to Powershell extension of VSCode. I will try it.
Can i use VScode+powershell extension for directory traversal with autocompleitions etc too, help on commands in command window. I hope that it is as conducive as powershell ISE.

[rkeithhill]

The editor supports easy directory traversal. There is a terminal in VSCode. You have to configure it to default to PowerShell though. See this blog post on how to configure VSCode to use PowerShell in the VSCode terminal window. In the terminal window, you use tab-completion for directory traversla.

There is no equivalent of the command add-on yet.

I believe that Visual Studio Code coupled with the PowerShell extension (which is compatible with PowerShell Core) is close enough to the requested "powershell ISE like GUI environment for the open source cross platform release of powershell" that we can close this (and also as @rkeithhill stated, ISE itself will not be ported to my knowledge).

Thanks for the idea @zaxebo1!
