Aborting an "unclosed" powershell command in Visual Studio Nuget Package manager console

Question

I accidently issued an invalid PowerShell command in the NuGet Package Manager console and locked the console.
The command was

PM> Get-Project -all | Where { $_.ProjectName -imatch "GPEC.Personne } 

then the console displayed >> as prompt and I was unable to leave this mode. Closing and reopening the console did not help. (Had to restart VS).
Is there a way to gracefully cancel a wrong command in this case and return to the standard PM> prompt?

Thanks in advance. Philippe

Answer 1

That appears to be buggy behavior. The >> indicates that syntactically the current command isn't finished. That is, you have opened a double quoted string but haven't finished it. Press the "Clear Console" toolbar button to escape out of this mode.
