Windows PowerShell ISE allows users to write, test, run, and debug scripts
in a Windows-based graphic user interface with features like multi-line
editing, syntax coloring, selective execution, etc. Windows PowerShell ISE
can be started by typing "Windows PowerShell ISE" in the Start Menu or
typing powershell_ise.exe in the Run box.

Windows PowerShell ISE has 57 shortcuts and we have listed all of them
below.
