Description
It is difficult to know what settings are available in VS Code PowerShell. This should be documented!
'As a script author I want fun small parts of my scrip using F8 and then continue to immediately author.
Turns out there is a VS Code PS setting for this called "powershell.integratedConsole.focusConsoleOnExecute". If I don't know that this is I will not be able to set it. If I'm not able to set it I will have to live with having an interrupted flow from either performing an odd piece of keyboard gymnastics to get back to my script or by moving my hand to the mouse.
This is just one simple example of settings that should be documented. I'd love to know what other gold I can configure!
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Create a page for the documentation of all the great settings in VS Code PS! If you have that we can all link to it and you can point to it rather than explaining the same things over and over again to people who ask! This will increase the usefulness of VS Code PS for ordinary users!
