How long in milliseconds should we wait before concluding the input is not an escape sequence?

When ringing the bell, what should be done?

When ringing the bell, what frequency do we use?

In Emacs, when searching history, the cursor doesn't move. In 4NT, the cursor moves to the end. This option allows for either behavior.

The maximum number of commands to store in the history.

The maximum number of items to store in the kill ring.

When displaying possible completions, either display tooltips or display just the completions.

This handler is called before adding a command line to history. The return value indicates if the command line should be added to history or not.

Most commands do not accept script blocks, but for those that do, we want to validate commands in the script block arguments. Unfortunately, we can't know how the argument is used. In the worst case, for commands like Get-ADUser, the script block actually specifies a different language.

Because we can't know ahead of time all of the commands that do odd things with script blocks, we create a white-list of commands that do invoke the script block - this covers the most useful cases.

This handler is called from ValidateAndAcceptLine. If an exception is thrown, validation fails and the error is reported.

When ringing the bell, how long (in ms)?

Prompts are typically 1 line, but sometimes they may span lines. This count is used to make sure we can display the full prompt after showing ambiguous completions

When true, duplicates will not be recalled from history more than once.

The path to the saved history.

This is the text you want turned red on parse errors, but must occur immediately before the cursor when readline starts. If the prompt function is pure, this value can be inferred, e.g. the default prompt will use "> " for this value.
