PowerShell ISE Keyboard Shortcuts

I hit a recent issue using the ISE and trying to use the updated version of James Brundage’s ISEPackv2 module – a keyboard shortcut used in James’s module has been taken by a later version of PowerShell. Not the end of the world and easily remedied (heck, I have the code!). I was playing around with keyboard shortcuts and wrote a little function that, when run inside the ISE, gets the keyboard shortcuts that are set.
I’ve published the Get-ISEShortcut over on my PowerShell scripts blog, but the core of function is these lines of code:
$gps = $psISE.GetType().Assembly
$rm = New-Object System.Resources.ResourceManager GuiStrings,$gps
$rm.GetResourceSet((Get-Culture),$True,$True) |
    Where Value -CMatch "(F\d)|(Shift\+)|(Alt\+)|(Ctrl\+)"
This code gets the GUI related resource strings held by the ISE and then weeds out all but he keyboard shortcuts. In the published script, I sort them to get a more effective list. On my system, I get the following:
PSH [C:\foo]: Get-ISEShortcut | ft -AutoSize value, name

It was a line of code missing - now fixed.
