The term 'pwsh' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function...
If you try to start PowerShell Core 6.0.0-beta.9 in the current image for PowerShell in Cloud Shell it fails with the error: "The term 'pwsh' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."
Path environmental variable is not updated with a path to PowerShell Core 6.0.0-beta.9.

Support Ctrl+c to <break> command execution
Seems like there is no way to currently break command execution.
For example instead of Get, I accidentally performed:
New-AzureRmADServicePrincipalThe above causes PowerShell to prompt for ApplicationId. At this point I realized the mistake, but there is no way to abort the command.
Pressing enter, asks for the ApplicationId again, and Ctrl+c is currently not handled. (Tested not to work under both Chrome and Edge). The only current solution is to restart the shell.
Please add support for Ctrl-c to interrupt the current command.

2 votesCan you clarify the problem you are having and the suggested feature? By directories are you referring to system file directories, is this referring to PS or Bash?

Add safe word/line deletion shortcut support
Please add support for Ctrl+Backspace(or other browser safe alternative) to delete whole words and another command to clear the whole line.
(Linux clear line and clear word commands Ctrl+w and Ctrl+u are a no-go in a browser.)2 votes -
Increase Tab-Completion performance
Using tab completion feels very slow sometimes and may lock the shell for a few seconds (3-10). Tab completion is an essential tool for me to work with speed and not having to remember every command (discovering new functionality too).
Due to its varying reliability i find myself going back to my local install a lot.2 votesThanks for the feedback, at this moment we need more input to look into this! We’re regularly sync with the AZ CLI team to make sure performance is great on all fronts, but providing votes helps us prioritize our resources appropriately so please cast votes across ideas you feel are important to you!

Include AzureAD Powershell Module
Noticed that by default the AzureAD Powershell Module is not installed for Cloud Shell. I verified I could install it with Install-Module AzureAD, however once installed you still need to login with Connect-AzureAD if you hard code your creds with $creds you can then login with Connect-AzureAD -credentials $creds but it would also be nice if it inherited your logged in shell credentials like the AzureRM module does. See attached

Do not require a storage account
When you just want to execute some scripts on an environment, you perhaps do not need persistent storage.
On some environments you don't have the permissions to create a storage account dedicated for this, and have to fallback on your own powershell/bash commandline.
Make it an (advanced) option to not use storage when launching the shell, lowering the barrier even more to run a one-off command.

Copy and Paste in Windows
I would love to be able to copy and paste. In macOS, Cmd+C/Cmd+V work as intended in the shell. However, Ctrl+c/Ctrl+V do not work in Windows to copy and paste text.

Allow access to PowerShell from CSP account
When attempting to use PowerShell in Cloud Shell with my CSP account, which has delegated Owner rights within Azure for the customer tenant, I get the error below. It works if I switch to a Global Admin account.

Preconfigure PowerShell in Cloud Shell with PowerShell help files
When we run Update-Help the downloaded help files are not persistent across PowerShell sessions because they are written in $pshome's subfolder.
Could you preconfigure the Cloud Shell with the current PowerShell help files?2 votes -
Add support to Automation for AZ CLI
AZ CLI in BASH is powerful, easy to use and has commands such as file copy batch that are superior to PowerShell. It would be great to add CLI support for Automation / Run Books to keep efforts consistent.
2 votesThanks for this feedback – could you elaborate on your request? Is the ask for Automation/Run book support to be included in Azure CLI 2.0 as a new module?

Add support for running Azure Cloud Shell in secure Azure subscription
I'm working in a subscription where I only give users the minimum permissions that are necessary. I would like these users to have access to Azure Cloud Shell, but I want to have it pre-configured for them before they even try. For this, I need the following:
1. An API (and ideally one or more PowerShell cmdlets) that allows for the initial configuration of Cloud Shell to be done automatically for a user before they even try to access Cloud Shell. This would create the resource group if it did not already exist in the subscription, create the storage account,…

Allow again "az login"
I am using a lot the Azure Cloud Shell, and because company policy I have to login using a Service Principal.
Since today I discovered I cannot use "az login" anymore from the shell, I'm getting the following error:Azure Cloud Shell relies on the user account it was initially launched under, as a result 'az login' is disabled.
5 votesThanks for this feedback, we’ve currently disabled az login for CLI 2.0 in Cloud Shell to avoid issues with profile refreshing. Previously if you executed az login, a profile refresh could re-login your original azure account you launched Cloud Shell instead of the manual account you intended to use, causing some unexpected errors/scenarios.
Please do provide feedback/details on your scenarios and how they worked for you previously, we will investigate to make sure you can complete core scenarios.
