I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12.5 on Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate. How can I write a voice command that center the active window using Advanced Scripting? The command should support a multi-monitor setup, and the centering should be done within the monitor where the window is located.
I am aware that this could the achieved easily using AHK but I'd prefer to avoid having voice commands that rely on an external program.

What is the difference between [pwsh] and [Powershell Integreted Console] on VS Code?
I usualy use pwsh.
Today, when I installed the powershell extension and then tried to update the powershell, the Powershell Integreted Console started up and found out. What is this?
pwsh[.exe] is the executable file name of PowerShell [Core] (v6+), the cross-platform edition of PowerShell built on .NET Core / .NET 5+; by contrast, powershell.exe is the executable name of the legacy Windows PowerShell edition (v5.1-), built on the Windows-only .NET Framework (v4.8-)
Windows PowerShell comes with Windows itself, whereas PowerShell [Core] must be installed on demand (on all supported platforms).[+]
VSCode (Visual Studio Code) has an integrated terminal (console) that can run any shell, such as cmd.exe, bash, or pwsh or powershell.
Shells that run in the integrated terminal by default have no special integration with the files being edited. They show by their executable file name in the dropdown list in the integrated terminal's toolbar; e.g.:
By contrast, the PowerShell Integrated Console is a special shell that comes with the PowerShell extension and offers integration with PowerShell code being edited, notably to provide linting and debugging support, among other features.
The PowerShell Integrated Console starts on demand when you first open/activate an editor with PowerShell code in a session, and it shows as follows in the integrated terminal's toolbar:
You can use the PowerShell extension's configuration to choose the specific PowerShell executable to use, which on Windows allows you to choose between running PowerShell [Core] (pwsh.exe) and Windows PowerShell (powershell.exe) in the PowerShell Integrated Console.
If a PowerShell [Core] version is installed and it is installed in a well-known location[*], it will be used by default; the fallback on
Windows is Windows PowerShell. Since PowerShell [Core] versions can be installed side by side, you can switch between different versions, if installed.
If a PowerShell [Core] version in installed in a nonstandard location and is therefore not discovered automatically, you can tell the PowerShell extension where to find it, either via the Settings GUI or via settings.json, as shown in the linked topic and the bottom section of this answer.
Whenever the active tab is a PowerShell source-code file, the status bar in the bottom-right corner shows the PowerShell version that is being used if you however over or click on the {} icon; versions >= 6 imply PowerShell [Core].
If configured, there's a separate icon that directly invokes the PowerShell session menu when clicked and which reflects the active version number - again, see the bottom section of this answer; e.g.:
[+] as of v7.0; time will tell if PowerShell [Core] will ship with future versions of Windows, and perhaps even other platforms.
[*] From the linked docs: "This feature looks at a few well-known paths on different operating systems to discover install locations of PowerShell. If you installed PowerShell to a non-typical location, it might not show up initially in the Session Menu. You can extend the session menu by adding your own custom paths." If you use one of the official installers, the PowerShell extension should find your installation.
I am been currently studying AWS, and my online instructor uses "Windows PowerShell", however, I have always used "Hyper Terminal" for MERN stack. What is the difference between the two, and what sets this two apart from the Command Prompt?
Here is the simple answer:
PowerShell Preview replaced PowerShell, and PowerShell replaced Command Prompt (CMD).
Windows Terminal is an application that simply provides tabs to open multiple instances of PowerShell (Preview or legacy) and Command Prompt, as well as Azure cloud shell.
In Linux. you'll often hear the terms 'terminal' and 'console' used interchangeably, but they mean the same in Linux as they do in Windows. That is, console is the Linux alternative to the DOS style command prompt.
I am not familiar with Hyper Terminal but I see there are terminal emulators online that go by that name therefore I assume you may be using a third party terminal emulator.
PowerShell is a newer shell and also happens to be an object-oriented scripting language.
As far as Windows shells go, I can use PowerShell to do anything I used to do with CMD. Generally speaking, I would say PowerShell really shines when it comes to Windows System administration which is my primary use for it and it saves me a great deal of time.
As far as terminal emulators go, I feel the default terminals for both PowerShell and CMD are pretty much the same and are very lacking compared to 3rd party offerings or even the default terminal that comes in any modern Linux OS.
For a free "Microsoft" alternative to replace your default terminal, I would recommend the open-source "Windows Terminal" app. The addition of tabs, panes, zoom function, easy to read text, and easy ways to start different shells (such and CMD or PowerShell) or even start a WSL session with your choice of Linux OS is a major improvement to the default Windows terminal app.
It's possible with VS code via installing a shell command, as seen in this SO question: How to open Visual Studio Code from the command line on OSX?
Is the same thing possible with Jetbrain's Rider?
It is possible to open any file, folder, or solution and project in Rider for editing.
Here is a corresponding help page.
If you use a standalone Rider, you need to create a shell script. Call the action "Tools | Create Command-Line Launcher...". Then you will be able to call rider in a terminal as the shell script is by default created in /usr/local/bin.
In the case of using Toolbox installations, all scripts should be generated using Toolbox. Take a look at Create Command-line Launcher Intellij not found to find out how to set it in Toolbox.
Rider, in my case at least, and I installed it on Linux via snap, comes with a built-in rider command. It does open Rider, however, the issue is that the terminal becomes an output for logs from Rider. Additionally, as soon as I close the terminal, Rider gets closed as well. I guess the Rider process becomes a child process of the shell instance that I used to invoke it.
i am not able to see the powershell ise application in my windows serevr 2012 OS,Search window .
Below is the screenshot of my issue:
Whats wrong with my OS? Does anything is corrupted?
[ps-ise][1]
[powershellisenotfound][1]
Try to enable powershell via following steps. Open PowerShell Window, and type the following commands:
Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature PowerShell-ISE
For more details see this msdn link.
As far as I know PowerShell ISE is not enabled for WIN server operating systems. Reason: WIN 2012 is designed for headless usage in clouds. Therefore it won't make sense to enable GUI based PowerShell ISE.
I know it's late for the original poster, but it's available to be added as a Feature in the Server Manager. Go to Programs and Features --> Turn Windows features on or off --> Expand Features (in the left pane) --> Add Features (upper right) --> Check the appropriate box in the Add Features Wizard and install.
Note: It's called Windows PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment (ISE) so it's down in the "W" section and not "P".
Is it possible to have several command windows (consoles) in matlab?
Yes, you can start multiple sessions of MATLAB in different terminals or windows. Remember that you can use the command matlab -nodesktop to have a MATLAB session without the GUI, it's very useful to save space and memory.
Within a single Matlab session, no. But you can run several sessions of Matlab in parallel on the same machine using a single license.
I think you can start up to four individual sessions of MATLAB on a machine. But the behavior of the MATLAB startup program seems to be different depending on the OS and MATLAB versions.
On Windows, you may be able to start another session by just clicking the icon on the Programs Menu.
On Mac OSX, depending on the MATLAB version that you use, you may have to do 'Show Package Content' (right mouse click over the icon in the Applications folder) and directly double-click the executable file called 'matlab' under the /bin directory (or over its alias) to start another session.
On Linux, you can just type 'matlab' on the Console and start another session.
