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>.


----
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.
Closes #3200, closes #3600, closes #7770, closes #34273, closes #36471, closes #20976, closes #14495

TODOs et al
**Blocking:**
- [ ] Images and descriptions in Settings and OOBE need to be properly defined, as mentioned before
- [ ] Niels is on it
- [x] Doesn't start properly from PowerToys unless the fix PR is merged.
- https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/556 merged
- [x] I seem to lose focus a lot when I press on some limits, like between the search bar and the results.
- This is https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/427
- [x] Turned off an extension like Calculator and it was still working.
- Need to get rid of that toggle, it doesn't do anything currently
- [x] `ListViewModel.<FetchItems>` crash
- Pretty confident that was fixed in https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/553
**Not blocking / improvements:**
- Show the shortcut through settings, as mentioned before, or create a button that would open CmdPalette settings.
- When PowerToys starts, CmdPalette is always shown if enabled. 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

CmdPal: Filters for DynamicListPage? Yes, please. (#40783)
Closes: #40382
## To-do list
- [x] Add support for "single-select" filters to DynamicListPage
- [x] Filters can contain icons
- [x] Filter list can contain separators
- [x] Update Windows Services built-in extension to support filtering by
all, started, stopped, and pending services
- [x] Update SampleExtension dynamic list sample to filter.
## Example of filters in use
```C#
internal sealed partial class ServicesListPage : DynamicListPage
{
public ServicesListPage()
{
Icon = Icons.ServicesIcon;
Name = "Windows Services";
var filters = new ServiceFilters();
filters.PropChanged += Filters_PropChanged;
Filters = filters;
}
private void Filters_PropChanged(object sender, IPropChangedEventArgs args) => RaiseItemsChanged();
public override void UpdateSearchText(string oldSearch, string newSearch) => RaiseItemsChanged();
public override IListItem[] GetItems()
{
// ServiceHelper.Search knows how to filter based on the CurrentFilterIds provided
var items = ServiceHelper.Search(SearchText, Filters.CurrentFilterIds).ToArray();
return items;
}
}
public partial class ServiceFilters : Filters
{
public ServiceFilters()
{
// This would be a default selection. Not providing this will cause the filter
// control to display the "Filter" placeholder text.
CurrentFilterIds = ["all"];
}
public override IFilterItem[] GetFilters()
{
return [
new Filter() { Id = "all", Name = "All Services" },
new Separator(),
new Filter() { Id = "running", Name = "Running", Icon = Icons.GreenCircleIcon },
new Filter() { Id = "stopped", Name = "Stopped", Icon = Icons.RedCircleIcon },
new Filter() { Id = "paused", Name = "Paused", Icon = Icons.PauseIcon },
];
}
}
```

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>.


----
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.
Closes #3200, closes #3600, closes #7770, closes #34273, closes #36471, closes #20976, closes #14495

TODOs et al
**Blocking:**
- [ ] Images and descriptions in Settings and OOBE need to be properly defined, as mentioned before
- [ ] Niels is on it
- [x] Doesn't start properly from PowerToys unless the fix PR is merged.
- https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/556 merged
- [x] I seem to lose focus a lot when I press on some limits, like between the search bar and the results.
- This is https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/427
- [x] Turned off an extension like Calculator and it was still working.
- Need to get rid of that toggle, it doesn't do anything currently
- [x] `ListViewModel.<FetchItems>` crash
- Pretty confident that was fixed in https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/553
**Not blocking / improvements:**
- Show the shortcut through settings, as mentioned before, or create a button that would open CmdPalette settings.
- When PowerToys starts, CmdPalette is always shown if enabled. 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.

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.

TODOs et al
**Blocking:**
- [ ] Images and descriptions in Settings and OOBE need to be properly defined, as mentioned before
- [ ] Niels is on it
- [x] Doesn't start properly from PowerToys unless the fix PR is merged.
- https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/556 merged
- [x] I seem to lose focus a lot when I press on some limits, like between the search bar and the results.
- This is https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/427
- [x] Turned off an extension like Calculator and it was still working.
- Need to get rid of that toggle, it doesn't do anything currently
- [x] `ListViewModel.<FetchItems>` crash
- Pretty confident that was fixed in https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/553
**Not blocking / improvements:**
- Show the shortcut through settings, as mentioned before, or create a button that would open CmdPalette settings.
- When PowerToys starts, CmdPalette is always shown if enabled. 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

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>.


----
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

CmdPal: Plain text viewer and image viewer IContent (#43964)
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it
fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)?
-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces new types of IContent:
- Plain text content – simple and straightforward, with options to
switch between UI and monospace fonts and toggle word wrap.
- It's super safe to display any random text content without having to
worry about escaping the pesky markdown.
- Image viewer content – a more polished way to display images:
- When placed in the ContentPage, the component automatically resizes to
fit the viewport, ensuring the entire image is visible at once.
- Images can be opened in a built-in mini-viewer that lets you view,
pan, and zoom without leaving the Command Palette. (Doing this directly
on the page proved to be a UX and development headache.) Fully
keyboard-controllable, so there’s no need to take your hands off the
keys.
## Pictures? Pictures!

CmdPal: Fallback ranking and global results (#43549)
> [!IMPORTANT]
> For extension developers, this release includes a new required `string
Id` property for `FallbackCommandItem`. While your existing extensions
will continue to work, without this `Id` being set, your fallbacks will
not display and will not be rankable.
> Before this is released, you will want to prepare your extension
fallbacks.
>
> As an example, we are naming our built-in extensions as:
> - Calculator extension provider Id:
`com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.calculator`
> - Calculator extension fallback:
`com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.calculator.fallback`
>
> While the content of the Id isn't important, what is important is that
it is unique to your extension and fallback to avoid conflicting with
other extensions.
Now the good stuff:
## What the heck does it do!?
### The backstory
In PowerToys 0.95, we released performance improvements to Command
Palette. One of the many ways we improved its speed is by no longer
ranking fallback commands with other "top level" commands. Instead, all
fallbacks would surface at the bottom of the results and be listed in
the order they were registered with Command Palette. But this was only a
temporary solution until the work included in this pull request was
ready.
In reality, not all fallbacks were treated equally. We marked the
calculator and run fallbacks as "special." Special fallbacks **were**
ranked like top-level commands and allowed to surface to the top of the
results.
### The new "hotness"
This PR brings the power of fallback management back to the people. In
the Command Palette settings, you, dear user, can specify what order you
want fallbacks to display in at the bottom of the results. This keeps
those fallbacks unranked by Command Palette but displays them in an
order that makes sense for you. But keep in mind, these will still live
at the bottom of search results.
But alas, we have also heard your cries that you'd like _some_ fallbacks
to be ranked by Command Palette and surface to the top of the results.
So, this PR allows you to mark any fallback as "special" by choosing to
include them in the global results. Special (Global) fallbacks are
treated like "top level" commands and appear in the search result based
on their title & description.

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>.


----
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.
Closes #3200, closes #3600, closes #7770, closes #34273, closes #36471, closes #20976, closes #14495

TODOs et al
**Blocking:**

**Not blocking / improvements:**
- Show the shortcut through settings, as mentioned before, or create a button that would open CmdPalette settings.
- When PowerToys starts, CmdPalette is always shown if enabled. 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.

CmdPal: Load pinned command items from anywhere (#45566)
This doesn't actually have a UX to expose this yet - we need to stack a
couple of PRs up to get to that.
But this adds plumbing such that we can now stash away a command ID, and
retrieve it later as a top-level command. Kinda like pinning for apps,
but for _anything_.
It works off of a new command provider interface `ICommandProvider4`,
which lets us look up Command**Item**s by ID. If we see a command ID
stored in that command provider's settings, we will try to look it up,
and then load it from the command provider.
e.g.
```json
"com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system": {
"IsEnabled": true,
"FallbackCommands": {
"com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.fallback": {
"IsEnabled": true,
"IncludeInGlobalResults": true
}
},
"PinnedCommandIds": [
"com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.lock",
"com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.restart_shell"
]
},
```
will get us
<img width="840" height="197" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9ed19003-8361-4318-8dc9-055414456a51"
/>
Then it's just a matter of plumbing the command provider ID through the
layers, so that the command item knows who it is from. We'll need that
later for actually wiring this to the command's context menu.
