PSReadLine VS PSFzf

sets up PSReadLine: command autocompletion and many other features.

Sounds like a bug, you should report it to PSReadLine. I believe PSReadLine and not PowerShell is the one that handles tab completion here, it sounds like it's caching the alias target so still thinks it is completing Get-ChildItem.

I then used PSReadLine's GitHub to understand how they made their own module, shared data with Cmdlets and everything inbetween. Which got me the rest of the day.

Highly recommend checking out the team’s sample file: https://github.com/PowerShell/PSReadLine/blob/master/PSReadLine/SamplePSReadLineProfile.ps1

I have a hotkey that converts aliases on the command line when I hit alt+% That makes it easier to paste into discord or wherever. Why % ? I'm not sure, that's what what PSReadLine used

GitHub - PowerShell/PSReadLine: A bash inspired readline implementation for PowerShell

Bit late, but it's PSReadLine

Just a bit of a heads up. The PSReadLine 2.2.0 beta 1 and beta 2 do not work with this release so either you can downgrade to PSReadLine 2.1.0 or stay on PowerShell 7.2.0 preview 5. The PSReadLine 2.2.0 beta 3 will solve the issue.

The PSReadline update-help failing is new and should probably have an issue filed on their github, assuming there isn't one already. The failure on "WindowsUpdateProvider" has been around for years, you're missing help for these cmdlets without it
