Posh Tools Intellisense Does Not Mimic VS Intellisense with Insertions

[Nick De Lancie]

For VS Community 2017 v. 15.9.13, | PoshTools v. 4.7.1 (not Pro) | $PSVersionTable output at end

Intellisense in the PowerShell Interactive Window does mimic VS’s Intellisense in various ways with insertions, most noticeably so far (to me) (i) not leaving the insertion point where one would expect when Intellisense is working inside quotes (it pops to after the trailing quote--see, e.g., what happened when Intellisense is working with the directory structure); and (ii) what key strokes “accept” the Intellisense offer from the drop down list and how that is handled.
