Please read this to understand how ISESteroids needs to be installed!
To install automatically, do this: 1. Unpack the ZIP file 2. Run the file install.bat inside of the unpacked ZIP file To install by hand, do this: 1. UNBLOCK the ZIP file before you unpack it. IMPORTANT! 2. Unpack the ZIP file 3. Copy the unpacked folder to one of the module folders listed in $env:PSModulePath. Make sure the folder you choose is not located on a network share. 4. Make sure the copied folder is named "ISESteroids" To start ISESteroids, do this: 1. Launch the ISE editor. For example, launch PowerShell, then run the command: ise 2. Inside the ISE editor, run the command: Start-Steroids Load ISESteroids each time you start the ISE editor: 1. Start the ISE editor, and load ISESteroids as described above. 2. When ISESteroids is loaded, click the arrow button on the far left side of the toolbar. This expands the auxiliary tool bar. 3. In it, you find a button with a person on it. Click this button to open your profile script. It will be created if it does not yet exist. 4. Add the command Start-Steroids to your profile script, and save it. Load ISESteroids on demand: If you prefer to work with the default ISE from time to time, then put this piece of code into your profile script: if ([System.Windows.Input.Keyboard]::IsKeyDown('Ctrl') -eq $false) { Start-Steroids } When you launch ISE, ISESteroids will launch automatically UNLESS YOU HOLD THE CTRL KEY. So if you wanted to launch ISE without ISESteroids, simply press CTRL while ISE starts. This will skip the start command inside your profile script.
