# `PSFavorite`
This module allows you to mark commands as **favorites**. Your favorite commands will appear as suggestions in the PSReadLine Predictor Views.
Favorites do not replace history, they complement it. The history tracks _everything_ you've done, and favorites track the things that you've _deemed important_.
---
## 📘 Usage
Write a command and press Ctrl + Shift + * to mark it as _favorite_.
> `Note:` Add a helpful comment to describe the command for future reference.
**Alternatively**, use the `Add-Favorite` cmdlet
```powershell
PS C:\> "Get-Command | Get-Random | Get-Help # Get help about a random command" | Add-Favorite
```
> `Note:` Remember to wrap the expressions in quotes!
Your _favorite commands_ will start appearing as suggestions in the **PSReadLine Predictor View**.
---

```powershell
Set-PSReadLineOption -PredictionViewStyle ListView
```
