Customize hotkeys in PowerGUI Script Editor

One of the hidden gems in PowerGUI Script Editor is the ability to fully customize its toolbars and hotkeys.

Say, you want to have a hotkey to collapse all regions in a PowerShell script – this could not be easier, just:

1. On the Tools menu, click Customize.
2. In the Customize dialog box, click the Keyboard tab.
3. On the Keyboard tab, select the command you need.
4. In the Press shortcut key(s), assign the hotkey you want.

Other tabs of this dialog box are also useful:

• Toolbars - lets you create your own toolbars.
• Commands - lets you add buttons to existing toolbars by simply dragging them from the dialog box to the toolbar.

Hope this makes your PowerShell scripting even more enjoyable!
