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. 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.

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.
