Cmdlet

Show-ConsoleSetting

Module
ConsoleMonster
Outputs
ConsoleMonster.ConsoleSetting

Chooses ConsoleMonster's settings in the terminal with a live preview.

Syntax

Show-ConsoleSetting
[<CommonParameters>]
#
Parameter set: All Parameter Sets

Description

A full-screen picker: each setting on the left, and on the right a preview with a table, statuses, progress, a chart and an error drawn as the highlighted choice would draw them, so themes and glyph sets can be compared before choosing. Save keeps the choices for every session (Set-ConsoleSetting -Save), "Use now" applies them to this session only, and Escape or Cancel changes nothing. A setting that an environment variable sets is shown locked with the variable's name. In a non-interactive session it lists the settings and how to change them instead.

Examples

Example 1

Show-ConsoleSetting; Get-ConsoleSetting

Choose with the preview, then list what applies now and where each value came from

Example 2

Show-ConsoleSetting
Get-ConsoleSetting -Name Theme | Show-ConsoleTable

Choose settings and inspect the resulting theme
