Mar 27, 2014 at 0:31 comment added ThorSummoner Yeah i know it's not trying to be bash. I refrained from saying so in the original post. I would say which w get binary but there is no "which" command in power shell :( i don't recall where buy i read power Shell was supposed to be POSIX compatible
Mar 27, 2014 at 0:22 comment added TessellatingHeckler Turn on QuickEdit mode? Select and press enter to copy, ctrl-v to paste, no more Edit->Mark or Edit->Paste. While in the preferences, set the Window position and untick "let system position window". Tab completion is not just completing filesystem paths, it's also completing variable names, command names, object properties, you might be about to type . or [ to access a property or index, so it can't just add a path separator on the end. Which PowerShell wget, exactly? Which PowerShell POSIX? It's not trying to bring gnu tools to Windows, or be bash-compatible btw.
