Supports configurable monitor selection, browser settings, and keystroke automation through dynamic parameters inherited from Open-Webbrowser cmdlet. Each query opens in a separate browser instance with full control over window positioning, browser type, and search language. .PARAMETER Queries One or more search terms to query on YouTube. Each query will open in a separate browser instance. Supports pipeline input for batch processing of multiple search terms. .PARAMETER Language The language of the returned search results. Uses ValidateSet to ensure only supported languages are specified. Automatically configures browser accept-lang header when specified. .PARAMETER Private Opens in incognito/private browsing mode. Uses InPrivate for Edge and incognito for Chrome. .PARAMETER Force Force enable debugging port, stopping existing browsers if needed. Useful when browser debugging features are required. .PARAMETER Edge Opens in Microsoft Edge browser specifically. .PARAMETER Chrome Opens in Google Chrome browser specifically. .PARAMETER Chromium Opens in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome, depending on what the default browser is. Prefers Chromium-based browsers. .PARAMETER Firefox Opens in Mozilla Firefox browser specifically. .PARAMETER All Opens in all registered modern browsers simultaneously. .PARAMETER Monitor The monitor to use for window placement: - 0 = Primary monitor - -1 = Discard positioning - -2 = Configured secondary monitor - 1+ = Specific monitor number .PARAMETER FullScreen Opens in fullscreen mode using F11 key simulation. .PARAMETER Width The initial width of the webbrowser window in pixels. .PARAMETER Height The initial height of the webbrowser window in pixels. .PARAMETER X The initial X position of the webbrowser window. .PARAMETER Y The initial Y position of the webbrowser window. .PARAMETER Left Place browser window on the left side of the screen. .PARAMETER Right Place browser window on the right side of the screen. .PARAMETER Top Place browser window on the top side of the screen. .PARAMETER Bottom Place browser window on the bottom side of the screen. .PARAMETER Centered Place browser window in the center of the screen. .PARAMETER ApplicationMode Hide the browser controls for a distraction-free experience. .PARAMETER NoBrowserExtensions Prevent loading of browser extensions. .PARAMETER DisablePopupBlocker Disable the popup blocker in the browser. .PARAMETER AcceptLang Set the browser accept-lang http header for internationalization. .PARAMETER KeysToSend Keystrokes to send to the Browser window after opening. Uses the same format as the GenXdev.Windows\Send-Key cmdlet. .PARAMETER FocusWindow Focus the browser window after opening. .PARAMETER SetForeground Set the browser window to foreground after opening. .PARAMETER Maximize Maximize the window after positioning. .PARAMETER RestoreFocus Restore PowerShell window focus after opening the browser. .PARAMETER NewWindow Don't re-use existing browser window, instead create a new one. .PARAMETER PassThru Returns a [System.Diagnostics.Process] object of the browserprocess. .PARAMETER ReturnURL Don't open webbrowser, just return the url. .PARAMETER ReturnOnlyURL After opening webbrowser, return the url. .PARAMETER SendKeyEscape Escape control characters when sending keys to the browser. .PARAMETER SendKeyHoldKeyboardFocus Prevent returning keyboard focus to PowerShell after sending keys. .PARAMETER SendKeyUseShiftEnter Send Shift+Enter instead of regular Enter for line breaks. .PARAMETER SendKeyDelayMilliSeconds Delay between sending different key sequences in milliseconds. .EXAMPLE Open-YoutubeQuery -Queries "PowerShell tutorial" -Monitor 0 Opens a YouTube search for "PowerShell tutorial" on the default monitor. .EXAMPLE youtube "how to code" -m -2 Opens a YouTube search for "how to code" on the configured secondary monitor using the function alias. #> function Open-YoutubeQuery { [CmdletBinding()] [Alias('youtube')] param(
