'WinIOError' thrown from 'Ctrl+L' was fixed in recent versions

[daxian-dbw]

The IOException thrown from Ctrl+l was fixed in recent versions.
If you run into this one (seeing a stack trace like the below one), please try out the latest version of PSReadLine from PowerShell Gallery.

Exception:
System.IO.IOException: The parameter is incorrect.

This issue was fixed by #790. The fix was included in 2.0.0-beta4 and newer versions.
For more information, take a look at #922 (comment).

@justPaulo did you update to the most recent version of PSReadLine?

[justPaulo]

No because of:
WARNING: Version '2.0.0-beta3' of module 'PSReadLine' is already installed at '/usr/local/microsoft/powershell/6/Modules/PSReadLine'. To install version '2.0.0', run Install-Module and add the -Force parameter, this command will install version '2.0.0' side-by-side with version '2.0.0-beta3'.

@justPaulo Please try this:

<path-to-pwsh-executable> -noprofile -command "Install-Module PSReadLine -Force -SkipPublisherCheck -AllowPrerelease"

Be sure to exit all instances of powershell.exe, pwsh.exe or pwsh (including the integrated PowerShell console you might opened in VSCode), then run the suggested command from cmd.exe.
Checkout the Upgrading section of the README.md.

Tried it:
pnascim@MacMinidoPaulo ~ $ /usr/local/bin/pwsh -noprofile -command "Install-Module PSReadLine -Force -SkipPublisherCheck -AllowPrerelease"
WARNING: The version '2.0.0' of module 'PSReadLine' is currently in use. Retry the operation after closing the applications.

I completely closed and logout from pwsh, as well zsh on macOS Catalina.

@justPaulo There is a thread about this. It looks like something with Install-Module, checkout #1370
