Issue Description

When highlighting more than one line of PowerShell code in VS Code and pressing F8, the integrated console try to run each line separately. So i have to save the code in a file and run the file from the prompt.

Hey Graham, check your keybindings and see if you have F8 bound to workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText. If so, remove that binding so that the PowerShell extension's PowerShell.RunSelection binding gets used.

Hi David,
Thank you for getting back so quickly.

I've checked and its in the list but not bound to F8 :
// A set of command IDs whose keybindings will not be sent to the shell and instead always be handled by Code. This allows the use of keybindings that would normally be consumed by the shell to act the same as when the terminal is not focused, for example ctrl+p to launch Quick Open.

That list comes from your user settings, it doesn't reflect your keybindings. Try opening the Keyboard Shortcuts view with File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and then search for F8 or workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText.

Hey @Graham-Beer here's mine.

Hi Doug,
I have the same in mine as well. Does it matter if the source is different ?

[Graham-Beer]

Actually I have two, one for 'user' and one for 'default'

[daviwil]

That's the one that is causing the problem, if you remove the binding for F8 there it will start working correctly.

[Graham-Beer]

For the user ?

[daviwil]

Yep

[Graham-Beer]

Awesome, removed the 'User' Entry and tested, working like a dream ! Thank you David and Doug for helping so quickly :)

[daviwil]

No problem Graham!
