Add the Command Palette module (#37908) Windows Command Palette ("CmdPal") is the next iteration of PowerToys Run. With extensibility at its core, the Command Palette is your one-stop launcher to start _anything_. By default, CmdPal is bound to <kbd>Win+Alt+Space</kbd>. ![cmdpal-pr-002](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5077ec04-1009-478a-92d6-0a30989d44ac) ![cmdpal-pr-003](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/63b4762a-9c19-48eb-9242-18ea48240ba0) ---- This brings the current preview version of CmdPal into the upstream PowerToys repo. There are still lots of bugs to work out, but it's reached the state we're ready to start sharing it with the world. From here, we can further collaborate with the community on the features that are important, and ensuring that we've got a most robust API to enable developers to build whatever extensions they want. Most of the built-in PT Run modules have already been ported to CmdPal's extension API. Those include: * Installed apps * Shell commands * File search (powered by the indexer) * Windows Registry search * Web search * Windows Terminal Profiles * Windows Services * Windows settings There are a couple new extensions built-in * You can now search for packages on `winget` and install them right from the palette. This also powers searching for extensions for the palette * The calculator has an entirely new implementation. This is currently less feature complete than the original PT Run one - we're looking forward to updating it to be more complete for future ingestion in Windows * "Bookmarks" allow you to save shortcuts to files, folders, and webpages as top-level commands in the palette. We've got a bunch of other samples too, in this repo and elsewhere ### PowerToys specific notes CmdPal will eventually graduate out of PowerToys to live as its own application, which is why it's implemented just a little differently than most other modules. Enabling CmdPal will install its `msix` package. The CI was minorly changed to support CmdPal version numbers independent of PowerToys itself. It doesn't make sense for us to start CmdPal at v0.90, and in the future, we want to be able to rev CmdPal independently of PT itself.

Set Command Palette window as the topmost when shown and move to the bottom when hidden (#40444) ## Summary of the Pull Request Ensures the Command Palette main window is brought to the front and made topmost when shown. When the palette is hidden (cloaked but not destroyed), it is moved to the bottom of the window stack to avoid interfering with the user workflow. Dynamic removal of the topmost flag is a precaution to prevent the cloak window from bothering user in accessibility tools that too much -- in case they don't recognize cloak windows as not visible). ## PR Checklist - [x] **Closes:** #38726 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already. If the work hasn't been agreed, this work might be rejected - [x] **Tests:** Nothing to test - [x] **Localization:** Nothing to localize - [x] **Dev docs:** Nothing to update - [x] **New binaries:** No new binaries - [x] **Documentation updated:** nothing to update ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments ## Validation Steps Performed I've tested that the Command Palette window is display over other top-most windows (e.g. Task Manager). I've tested that the command palette is displayed over the Rainbow gadgets when it was originally under the gadget.

Don't auto-hide when an MSAL dialog is opened on us (#38850) Apps that want to show MSAL dialogs on the Command Palette would explode if they passed CmdPal's HWND to WithParentActivityOrWindow. It's not entirely clear why, but MSAL would explode if the parent HWND is hidden. When the MSAL dialog opened, we'd hide ourselves, and badda bing, badda boom, the extension would crash. MSAL dialogs will set us to WS_DISABLED right before the dialog is opened. Easy solution. Don't hide ourselves, if we're disabled. Helps some friends not depend on the existence of Teams :P

That's weird when just starting PowerToys/ logging in to the computer with PowerToys auto-start activated. I think this should at least be a setting. - Needing to double press a result for it to do the default action seems quirky. If one is already selected, I think just pressing should be enough for it to do the action. - This is currently a setting, though we're thinking of changing the setting even more: https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/392 - There's no URI extension. Was surprised when typing a URL that it only proposed a web search. - [x] There's no System commands extension. Was expecting to be able to quickly restart the computer by typing restart but it wasn't there. - This is in PR https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/452 --------- Co-authored-by: joadoumie <98557455+joadoumie@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jordi Adoumie <jordiadoumie@microsoft.com> Co-authored-by: Mike Griese <zadjii@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Niels Laute <niels.laute@live.nl> Co-authored-by: Michael Hawker <24302614+michael-hawker@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Stefan Markovic <57057282+stefansjfw@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Seraphima <zykovas91@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Jaime Bernardo <jaime@janeasystems.com> Co-authored-by: Kristen Schau <47155823+krschau@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Eric Johnson <ericjohnson327@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Ethan Fang <ethanfang@microsoft.com> Co-authored-by: Yu Leng (from Dev Box) <yuleng@microsoft.com> Co-authored-by: Clint Rutkas <clint@rutkas.com>

CmdPal: Make Command Palette's main and toast windows tool windows (#41835) ## Summary of the Pull Request Replaces the `SetVisibilityInSwitchers` method with `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW` style, removing reliance on the fragile `IsShownInSwitchers` property. Explicitly overrides window corner preference so tool windows keep the same rounded corners as regular app windows (tool windows otherwise default to a smaller corner radius, which would change the look). Benefits: - Avoids use of the unreliable `IsShownInSwitchers` property, which has multiple known failure cases. - Allows window managers to correctly treat Command Palette as a popup window rather than a normal app window, preventing unwanted tiling, grid placement, or similar behaviors. This better matches the intended design of CmdPal as an overlay UI. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #41772 - [x] Closes: #41593 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

CmdPal: Add hidden window as owner for tool windows (#42902) ## Summary of the Pull Request This PR changes the method used to hide tool windows from the taskbar and Alt+Tab to a more reliable approach. Previously, this was achieved by adding `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW` to an unowned top-level window, which proved unreliable in several scenarios. The new implementation assigns a hidden window as the owner of each tool window. This ensures that the window does not appear on the taskbar even when the Windows setting **Settings → System → Multitasking → On the taskbar, show all opened windows** is set to **On all desktops**. ## Change log one-liner Fixes Command Palette windows occasionally appearing on the taskbar under certain system settings. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #42395 - [x] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.
