Pasting from editor to the Powershell Integrated Console fails using line continuation

[gbritton1]

Issue Type: Bug

If I start creating a new Powershell script and enter

Get-Process `
-Name code

using line continuation in a powershell script, copy and paste that into the integrated terminal, the command fails.

Pasting into a regular powershell window works just fine:

@gbritton1 thanks for opening this issue, multi-line editing support comes from the PSReadline module which is now available in the PowerShell Preview extension, we are tracking that PSReadLine is not available in the main PowerShell Extension here #1793

@SydneyhSmith the repro info is in the top post

This is solved by PSReadLine, which is still in preview. You can get that by uninstalling the powershell extension and installing the powershell-preview extension.
