EditorServicesProcess

The EditorServicesProcess module allows you to enter a runspace in the integrated console of a PowerShell Editor Services editor from outside the integrated console. From this runspace you can interact with the $psEditor editor object and all of the functions from the Commands module such as Find-Ast, Set-ScriptExtent, etc.
