Description

Purely a recommendation as pwsh has started to become the standard Win shell.

In step 3 of the Windows section of the Readme, user is instructed to input the following into Command Prompt:

cd %AppData%\Talon\user

This works in cmd prompt, but throws an error in PowerShell. couldn't find a syntax that works in both as i'm not super familiar with cmd prompt, but adding the following for pwsh might be nice.

cd "~/AppData/Roaming/talon/user"
