PowerShell Dynamic Surround

The trick where you type
if ($thing) {
}
Then press down arrow to move code into the block isn't working in powerShell.

It works for simple example scripts I've tried.  What's the code after the if statements when it fails for you?

For most languages, dynamic surround runs off statement tagging information.  PowerShell doesn't have a statement tagger, so dynamic surround will fall back on some simple defaults.  Which usually means pulling in code one line at a time.

See attached script.
1. Place cursor at end of line 9
2. <Enter>
3. Type "if<space>$true.
This is expanded to:

Code: [Select]

      if ($true) {
      }
4. Now <Down> - expecting surround, but I don't get it.


Note also that it indents more than it should.
If you add a new line after line 5 the indent is correct.

Oh ... looks like I set "Dynamic Surround requires Shift+Cursor"!

But, there is still the indenting problem.

Hmm, I don't see the indenting problem.  I'd bet I can reproduce it with your config.  Can you upload your user.cfg.xml file to support?   Just call the case PowerShellIndent.
