Add tasks.json with two task templates: - 'PowerShell: Run Selection' to run selected text via pwsh - 'PowerShell: Run File' to run the current file via pwsh This enables the F8 run-selection workflow familiar to PowerShell ISE and VS Code users when bound via keymap.json. Update README with documentation on the new tasks and example keybinding configuration. Closes zed-extensions#10 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Summary
Add task templates that enable running PowerShell code directly from the editor, addressing the feature request in #10.
Changes
languages/powershell/tasks.json— Two new task templates:pwsh -Commandpwsh -FileREADME.md— Documents the new tasks and provides an example keybinding for F8How it works
Zed's task system supports
$ZED_SELECTED_TEXTand$ZED_FILEvariables. The "Run Selection" task only appears when text is selected (Zed filters tasks with unavailable variables). Users can bind F8 to this task in theirkeymap.json:{ "context": "Editor && extension == powershell", "bindings": { "f8": ["task::Spawn", { "task_name": "PowerShell: Run Selection" }] } }This follows the same pattern used by the Ruby and PHP extensions for their run-selection tasks.
Closes #10
