Functions

• Install-ISEToggleOutliningAddon Installs the add-on into the ISE
• Invoke-ISEToggleOutliningAllFiles Used by the add-on menu/shortcut key to execute the functionality

Install-ISEToggleOutliningAddon

This function is used to install the Add-on within the ISE. Add this to your profile script to automate this at start up.

Invoke-ISEToggleOutliningAllFiles

This function is used to implement the functionality of the Add-on. From within the ISE when you use the menu item or keyboard shortcut keys this is the function that is called. You can call this function directly however this would defeat the purpose of the shortcut keys.
