Not only does PrimalScript display word-wrapped, pop-up tooltips for PowerShell cmdlets, it also displays the complete cmdlet help in a new &#8220;Help&#8221; tab within the Output pane. This puts the product&#8217;s own documentation right at your fingertips, so there&#8217;s no need to open a new instance of the shell and run the <strong>help <\/strong>or <strong>man <\/strong>commands to find out what&#8217;s what.<strong>Note:<\/strong> Currently, the &#8220;Help&#8221; tab of the output pane will populate with help information only when you position your cursor over a cmdlet name and press F1. This is for performance reasons; PrimalScript actually queries the help information from PowerShell itself. After PowerShell releases and our users have had a chance to evaluate this new feature, we&#8217;ll look at the possibility of having the cmdlet help show up in the &#8220;Help&#8221; tab automatically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now showing on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.primalscript.com\/psnextpreview.asp\">PrimalScript 4.1 Preview Center<\/a> is our newly-announced built-in dynamic help for Windows PowerShell!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-software-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.sapien.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
