The PowerShell extension(PSReadLine) for VSCode is still in pipeline for the next Enhancement, the teams are working on it should be released soon enough.

From what I read seems like a lot of work before they can get PSReadline to coexist with the PowerShell extension's language.

As per the comment from David Wilson from the discussion

"PSReadline is not supported in the integrated console at this time. A non-trivial amount of work is needed to make PowerShell Editor Services and PSReadline play nicely together so this could take some time.

Features this will enable:

1.Ctrl+Arrow keys, etc (keyboard navigation of the input line)

2.Syntax highlighting of input text

3.Multi-line text input (writing a function definition in the console across multiple lines)"

You can follow the discussion on
