The Out-GridView cmdlet is very useful, but it only works on Windows. The Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools module provides a cross-platform alternative called Out-ConsoleGridView. Rather than opening a new window, it displays the grid view in the current terminal window.

You can use Out-ConsoleGridView to display a table of data that the user is able to interactively navigate. The user can select rows from the list that can be saved to a variable or piped to another command, allowing you to perform actions on the selected rows.
