Originally created by @okantmav on GitHub (Jul 25, 2020).

Enable a solution into the terminal to run it from an elevated command shell (cmd/powershell).

I forget to run the terminal as admin, I think many people do it.

Proposed technical implementation details

It could great to use hot key to select "user " or "admin" shell.

{ "command": "RunAsAdmin", "keys": "ctrl+shift+a" }

The issue of forget to run the terminal as "admin":

"You may experience errors - many functions/packages require admin rights. Only advanced users should run choco w/out an
elevated shell. When you open the command shell, you should ensure hat you do so with "Run as Administrator" selected. If you are attempting to use Chocolatey in a non-administrator setting, you must select a different location other than the default install location."

This message is frequent, so I should to close the terminal and open it again as "admin".

See issue #146. In the meantime you have a great solution with gsudo.

Personally I've set up my powershell profile to override all chocolatey alias with:

function choco { gsudo choco @args }

I’m so happy to learn that there’s gsudo. It feels super elegant to me. I’m a little surprised that no one mentions gsudo in #146.

The allow elevation issue and it's variants keeps getting duplicate reports. So there's nuggets of information spread all over the place (I learned about gsudo on one of them)

There's also #632/#1032/#5000 tracking the mixed elevation of tabs, so I'm gonna close this as a collective dupe of all those threads.

/dup #146 #632 #1032 #5000
