Hello,
The PSReadLine PowerShell module replaces the command line experience for Powershell 3 and above. It provides the following: - Syntax highlighting - Syntax error notification - Multiline editing - Customisation of keyboard shortcuts - Windows, Emacs or Vi mode - Completion - Predictive completion - History

Prediction is enabled by default in PSReadLine 2.2.6.
