+## Running PowerShell code
+
+This extension provides task templates for running PowerShell code:
+
+- **PowerShell: Run Selection** — runs the currently selected text
+- **PowerShell: Run File** — runs the current file
+
+These tasks are available via the `task: spawn` action.
+
+To bind `F8` for running selected text (like PowerShell ISE and VS Code), add the following to your `keymap.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "context": "Editor && extension == powershell",
+  "bindings": {
+    "f8": ["task::Spawn", { "task_name": "PowerShell: Run Selection" }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Configuring your language server settings
+
 Additionally, you can configure settings for your language server as well as initialization options
 to pass to the language server on start.
