Gemini CLI PowerShell @ Symbol Lag Issue & Fix

[MustafaKemal0146]

When running Gemini CLI in PowerShell, I encounter severe input lag whenever I use the @ symbol to specify a file, with each character typed making the lag worse, as if it’s scanning the entire filesystem. This is most likely caused by PowerShell’s IntelliSense path completion trying to index everything after detecting @. A workaround is to temporarily disable path completion in the current session (Set-PSReadLineOption -CompletionQueryItems 0), run Gemini CLI from Command Prompt or WSL/Git Bash instead, or manually type the file path instead of using @ for autocomplete.
