My PowerShell Setup Guide

1. Find your PowerShell profile location

This shows your PowerShell profile location:

$Profile

It's usually somewhere like this: C:\Users\My Username\Documents\WindowsPowerShell.

2. Install Oh-My-Posh

You probably have to use Nerd fonts in order for symbols to render properly.

3. Fix Ctrl+Backspace issue in VSCode

By default, Ctrl+Backspace in integrated terminal of VSCode to delete last typed word does not work for Powershell. This is probably a bug. Currently, a fix is to add the following code to your PowerShell profile:

if ($env:TERM_PROGRAM -eq "vscode") {
    Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Chord 'Ctrl+w' -Function BackwardKillWord
}
