During my day I may be working on multiple files in the PowerShell ISE. Often these files are part of different modules and since I use git I generally need to be in the same directory as the file I'm working on. This necessitates a lot of manually changing location in the PowerShell ISE prompt.\u00a0 Or I might open the PowerShell ISE and then select some files from MRU list. But again, if I need to jump to the corresponding directory, that can be a tedious process.<\/p>\n

Here's an example.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I'm working on my memory tools module and you can see the path. If my ISE prompt is currently C:\\ I have to discover the path to the file, which I can do by hovering on the tab, and then use Set-Location<\/a> or the cd<\/em> alias to change directories. There needs to be a better way. Here is mine.<\/p>\n
