Yes it is really cumbersome to use. Set-<tab> is pretty useless since you have to tab through dozens of entries if you don't know the noun you are looking for.

- jodrellblank 7y agoI don’t know that Verb-Noun is great design but I’m not convinced Noun-Verb would be any better; take your example and get rid of Set- and simply press <tab> right from the start - you have exactly the same problem of dozens of entries if you don’t know the noun you are looking for, changing the order hasn’t improved that, has it? (In reality it’s slightly less clear because tab would then have to show you other file names, executables, batch files, etc. names, at least Set- narrows it down to cmdlets to do with setting).
- oldmanhorton 7y agoBut as other comments have pointed out, Get-Command let's you search by module, noun, or verb. It's certainly not the most intuitive if you're used to normal linear autocomplete, but once you get used to it I find it works well.
