API Reference

Command

Select-ImageConsoleStoryTab

Namespace ImagePlayground
Inputs
None
Outputs
ImagePlayground.PowerShell.ImageConsoleStoryStep

Switches an ImagePlayground console story to a previously declared persistent tab.

Remarks

Selection is always an intentional timeline action. The target tab keeps its transcript, working directory, profile, and palette, so the story can pause on a ready session or continue writing exactly where that session stopped.

Examples

Authored help example

Return to the initial PowerShell tab

PS>


Select-ImageConsoleStoryTab -Id PowerShell
            New-ImageConsoleStoryPause -Seconds 1.5
            New-ImageConsoleStoryCommand -Text 'Get-ChildItem .\artifacts'
        

Returns to the retained PowerShell buffer, holds it in a ready state, then continues the same session.
