+====== Powershell Tips, and examples ======
+===== Enabling, and using SSH with Powershell =====
+https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse
+One quirk with using OpenSSH Server via Windows is that the authorized_keys file is used only for standard users. If the user you are trying to connect with is an admin, you have to use the administrator_authorized_keys file in ProgramData/ssh/ - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_server_configuration
+===== Using vim as your editor in the command line =====
+https://codeandkeep.com/PowerShell-And-Vim/
+Install the windows vim application
+Create a powershell profile - https://www.howtogeek.com/50236/customizing-your-powershell-profile/ (note you may have an issue with creating a profile, Powershell may complain about restricting the use of running scripts. See here - thewindowsclub.com/powershell-file-cannot-be-loaded-because-running-scripts-is-disabled-on-this-system)
+Add these alias lines inside the profile:
+<code>
+New-Alias -Name vim -Value 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim82\vim.exe'
+New-Alias -Name vi -Value 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim82\vim.exe'
+</code>
