Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
As a user, when I mistype a cmdlet or native command, I want to be able to see suggestions descriptive name and the modules they come from in order to more clearly understand suggestions to help me succeed.
When I mistype a particular command and am returned suggestions, it is unclear what the aliased cmds do and if they are actually related to what I am trying to do or not. For example, when I type gitt I get the following suggestions:
PS C:\Users\stevenbucher> gitt
gitt: The term 'gitt' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Suggestion [4,General]: The most similar commands are: gi, gin, gtz, It, imt.It is not clear exactly what these aliased commands are and thus I have to investigate further, I have to do Get-Command <cmd> to learn more. This is good but it would be more helpful if this was given to me right after my initial error.
Another example can be when I may type something like
PS C:\Users\stevenbucher> Get-PSResurce
Get-PSResurce: The term 'Get-PSResurce' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
Suggestion [4,General]: The most similar commands are: Get-PSResource, Get-AzResource, Get-DscResource, Set-AzResource, Get-PSSession, Get-Service.It would be helpful to know which modules each of these suggestions came from. Similar to what bash does
stevenbucher@StevenBucherPC:~$ sudi
Command 'sudi' not found, did you mean:
command 'sudo' from deb sudo (1.8.31-1ubuntu1.2)
command 'sudo' from deb sudo-ldap (1.8.31-1ubuntu1.2)
Try: sudo apt install <deb name>I would love to hear other's thoughts on this feature! Thanks!
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Have more detailed suggestions for when suggestions are given. See examples below:
PS C:\Users\stevenbucher> gitt
gitt: The term 'gitt' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
