Hide automatic / command variables

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

While using the Powershell extension when debugging larger scripts i am finding that having to scroll through all the automatic / script / process variables to find the specific one i am after is becoming difficult when i have a larger number of script variables.
Is there a way of hiding all of the automatic variables ($_, $Preference, $errors etc) unless they are explicitly referenced in the script?
I have searched to see if it is something other have described but not found a way.

Launch any script and break on the very first line.
Your debug variables list will look something like this:

The only variable i have defined in my script at this point is $Day but all the other automatic variables are getting in the way.

Reproduzieren Sie das Problem, indem Sie ein beliebiges Skript starten und in der ersten Zeile anhalten. Untersuchen Sie anschließend die im Bericht angezeigte Liste der Debugvariablen. Verfolgen Sie, wie die PowerShell-Erweiterung diese Liste füllt, und bestimmen Sie, wie automatische, Skript- und Prozessvariablen gefiltert werden sollten, während explizit referenzierte Variablen erhalten bleiben. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Arbeit, wenn eine große Debugsitzung relevante Benutzervariablen ohne die unerwünschten automatischen Variablen anzeigt.
