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.

CmdPal: Enhance font icon classification and visuals (#41573)
## Summary of the Pull Request
- Introduces `FontIconGlyphClassifier` for classifying emojis and
symbols.
- Correctly recognizes multi-codepoint glyphs (e.g., 🧙🏼♀️ *woman mage
with medium-light skin tone*).
- Explicitly disallows multi-glyph icons (they would overflow anyway).
- Distinguishes between emojis and regular text characters (letters,
numbers, symbols), since emojis are slightly larger and require
different padding.
- Recognizes Unicode [Variation
Selectors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_Selectors_(Unicode_block))
to enforce specific styles: VS15 (U+FE0E) for text style (monochrome)
and VS16 (U+FE0F) for emoji style (color). This lets developers choose
which variant to display. By default, characters with both
representations render as text/monochrome (e.g., ▶ `\u25B6`):
<img width="428" height="39" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c5e6865f-61de-4f45-9f3a-4e15e5e5ceb8"
/>
- Invalid icons are displayed as a dashed circle so extension developers
can spot issues, without being overly distracting if they slip into
production.
- Updates `IconPathConverter` to use the new classifier for improved
icon handling.
- Adds `SampleIconPage` to demonstrate various icon usages and
classifications.
- Adjusts icon alignment in `IconBox` so icons are centered.
- Scales negative padding for emojis in `IconBox` with control size,
fixing misalignment and clipping (noticeable in tags and the details
pane hero image).
- Applies negative padding to all font icons. This removes the need for
classification in these cases and ensures symbols rendered below the
baseline remain visible.

Keyboard and flag/country emojis may look a bit off, but that’s how
they’re actually rendered:

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:

* "Bookmarks" allow you to save shortcuts to files, folders, and webpages as top-level commands in the palette.

CmdPal: Enable loading local images in MarkdownContent (#41754)
Add a new image provider for `MarkdownTextBlock` that allows loading
images from additional sources:
- **file scheme**
- Enables loading images using the `file:` scheme.
- Intentionally restricts file URIs to absolute paths to ensure correct
resolution when passed through the CmdPal extension/host boundary. (In
most cases, 3rd-party extensions will provide the paths, but the CmdPal
host performs the actual loading and would otherwise resolve paths
relative to itself.)
- **data scheme**
- Enables loading images from URIs with the `data:` scheme (both Base64
and URL-encoded forms).
- Note: the Markdown control itself cannot handle large input and may
hang before the code introduced in this PR is invoked.
- **ms-appx scheme**
- This scheme is now supported for loading images.
- However, since the Command Palette host performs the loading,
`ms-appx:` resolution applies to the host and not the extensions, which
limits its usefulness.
- **ms-appdata scheme**
- This scheme is now supported for loading images.
- Similar to `ms-appx:`, resolution applies to the host, not the
extensions, limiting its usefulness.
---
Additionally, this PR introduces the concept of **_image source
hints_**, implemented as query string parameters piggy-backed on the
original URI.
These hints allow users to influence the behavior of images within
Markdown content.
- `--x-cmdpal-fit`
- `none`: no automatic scaling, provides image as is (default)
- `fit`: scale to fit the available space
- `--x-cmdpal-upscale`
- `true`: allow upscaling
- `false`: downscale only (default)
- `--x-cmdpal-width`: desired width in pixels
- `--x-cmdpal-height`: desired height in pixels
- `--x-cmdpal-maxwidth`: max width in pixels
- `--x-cmdpal-maxheight`: max height in pixels
---
Since `MarkdownTextBlock` requires conforming to the `IImageProvider`
interface—which accepts only a raw URI and must return an `Image`
control—this PR also introduces a new class `RtbInlineImageFactory`.
The factory hooks into the root text block upon loading and listens for
events related to **layout** and **DPI changes**, ensuring that images
adapt correctly to the control’s environment.
```csharp
public interface IImageProvider
{
Task<Image> GetImage(string url);
bool ShouldUseThisProvider(string url);
}
```

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
