2ce76b861f Fix: central package version error (#41933) 
<!-- 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 updates the `BuildXamlIndexBeforeSettings` target to avoid
running during DesignTimeBuild.
Previously, the target was triggered before `CoreCompile`, which caused
Visual Studio design-time builds to also invoke
`Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder`.
In design-time builds, the subproject may not fully inherit the central
package version management configuration (e.g.,
`Directory.Packages.props` not included, or incomplete MSBuild property
propagation).
As a result, NuGet central package version management did not fully
apply in design-time context, leading to false error such as:

-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request primarily updates project dependencies to newer
versions, especially for the Windows App SDK and related packages, and

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Dependency and SDK upgrades:

* Upgraded `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK` and related packages (Base,
Foundation, WinUI, Runtime, DWrite, InteractiveExperiences, Widgets, AI)
to version 1.8.x in all relevant project files, including
`Directory.Packages.props`, `.vcxproj`, `.csproj`, and `packages.config`
files. This also involved updating import paths and error checks for the
new package structure.

* Updated `Microsoft.Web.WebView2` to version 1.0.3179.45 and

`Directory.Packages.props`.

Build and packaging improvements:

* Enhanced the MSIX package selection logic in the build pipeline
(`job-build-project.yml`) to prioritize platform-specific packages
(x64/arm64) and provide clearer logging and error handling when no
packages are found.
* Modified `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.csproj` to disable Appx bundling and set
a specific test directory for Appx packages during CI builds, improving
build output organization.

These updates help ensure the project stays current with the latest SDKs
and improves reliability and transparency in the build process.

76fb464832 CmdPal: Bind FilterDropDown selection to the current filter and ensure notifications are raised on UI thread (#41808) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR declaratively binds FilterDropDown.SelectedValue to
CurrentFilterId (one-way only; updates in the opposite direction are
handled within the drop-down’s code). It also removes observable
properties and reverts to the UpdateProperty style to ensure property
change notifications are raised on the UI thread, aligning the handling
style with other classes.

## Impact
- Fixed a crash that could occur on pages with filters
- The filter drop-down now correctly syncs with the initially selected
filter when loading a page

This pull request updates the template resource file to improve
discoverability of strings from the standalone ZoomIt. This change is
intended to help other contributors more easily find and manage
localization strings and text resources associated with ZoomIt.

* Updated the displayed version in the ZoomIt UI from "v9.0" to "v9.01"
(`src/modules/ZoomIt/ZoomIt/ZoomIt.rc`).
* Updated the copyright year from 2024 to 2025 in the ZoomIt UI
(`src/modules/ZoomIt/ZoomIt/ZoomIt.rc`).

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

- Updated the template resource file with clearer references to strings
used in the standalone ZoomIt application.
- No functional code changes; this is strictly a resource/template
update.
- Aids contributors in locating and editing UI text, error messages, and
other localizable strings.

It could be challenging for contributors to understand which version of
PowerToys correlates with the standalone ZoomIt from sysinternals.com.
By updating the template resource file, we streamline the process for
future edits, translations, and maintenance.

## Validation Steps Performed

There is no validation required, as the values in the dialog get
dynamically generated/set at runtime, this is just so that contributors
can easily cross-reference versions with the standalone sysinternals.com
ZoomIt release.

5747e5e537 CmdPal: Prevent crash on duplicate keybindings; simplify matching (#41714) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Handles duplicate keybindings by using the first occurrence and ignoring
the rest (in `ContextMenuViewModel.Keybindings` and
`IContextMenuContext.Keybindings`).

Replaces LINQ with direct iteration for clarity.

Simplifies `CheckKeybinding` by removing redundant null checks and
clarifying the key-to-binding matching logic, improving both readability
and efficiency.

Add a new method to `KeyChordHelpers.FormatForDebug` that formats
KeyChord as string to help debugging.

Makes `KeyChordHelpers` class a static class.

d8de2e5c1c Use shape icons for Command Palette Windows Service state. (#41809) 
<!-- 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
Resolves #41653 by using play/pause/stop icons for Windows Service state
in the Command Palette utility. Prior to this green/red circles were
used. New icons provide an improved user experience, especially for
color-blind users. The new icons are consistent with the UI in the
native Windows Services management console utility (services.msc).

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This PR includes code-changes to restore some of the features of ZoomIt
that existed in older versions and lost in later versions, such as when
in Draw mode, after drawing, if an area is snipped, it doesn't clear the
drawing immediately, giving the user an option to cancel snip and update
the drawing. Also, in draw mode, when left mouse is clicked, it results
in a dot, as it was in previous versions. This PR also addresses some
race conditions during Recording that results in error when the
Recording is saved.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Manually tested and validated the draw and snip modes.

<!-- 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
While testing the recent GridPages changes #40832 , I noticed that the
`EmptyContent` case was removed from the `SwitchPresenter`, which caused
EmptyContent to stop rendering.

This PR restores the missing case so that `EmptyContent` is correctly
displayed again.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This pull request adds support for developing and debugging PowerToys
using Visual Studio Code by introducing a new launch configuration and
comprehensive developer documentation. These changes make it easier for
contributors to build, debug, and iterate on both native and managed
components of PowerToys within VS Code.

**VS Code integration and developer workflow:**

* Added `.vscode/launch.json` with configurations for launching and
attaching to native (`PowerToys.exe`) and managed
(`PowerToys.Settings.exe`) processes, supporting both C++ and .NET
debugging scenarios.
* Introduced `doc/devdocs/development/dev-with-vscode.md`, a detailed
guide covering VS Code setup, building, debugging, and common developer
workflows for the PowerToys project. This includes extension
recommendations, shell integration, sample build commands, and
troubleshooting tips.

cb79a00aeb Add the first copilot-instructions.md (#41518) 
This pull request introduces concise, area-specific contributor guides
for the PowerToys repository. Each major code area now has its own
instructions file, clarifying scope, coding guidelines, and acceptance
criteria. This helps ensure consistency, reduces onboarding friction,
and sets clear expectations for contributors.
Reference doc:
https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/configure-custom-instructions/add-repository-instructions

New contributor guides added:

**General/Top-level guidance**
- Added `.github/copilot-instructions.md` as a concise, top-level guide
for AI-driven changes, including a repo map, build/test workflow, PR
expectations, and quick reference checklists.

**Area-specific instructions**
- Added `src/common/common.instructions.md` for shared libraries,
covering ABI stability, logging, performance, and dependency policies.
- Added `src/runner/runner.instructions.md` for the Runner/tray host,
detailing module management, IPC contract alignment, startup
performance, and elevation/update logic.
- Added `src/settings-ui/settings-ui.instructions.md` for the Settings
UI, with guidance on schema changes, IPC contract sync, UI
responsiveness, and style reuse.

6defcd52f3 Enhance UI test automation by collecting PowerToys logs on failures (#41690) 
<!-- 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 pull request enhances the test automation infrastructure by
improving diagnostics collection when UI tests fail. Specifically, it
introduces automatic collection of PowerToys log files, in addition to
existing screenshots, to aid in debugging failed tests.

**Diagnostics and Logging Improvements:**

* Added a new method `AddLogFilesToTestResultsDirectory` to
automatically copy PowerToys log files from both `LocalLow` and
`LocalAppData` directories to the test results directory when a test
fails. The method is robust to errors and will not fail the test if log
file copying encounters issues.
* Introduced a helper method `CopyLogFilesFromDirectory` that
recursively copies `.log` files from the PowerToys directories, renaming
them to include their directory structure for easier identification in
the test results.
* Updated the test failure handling logic to invoke the new log
collection method alongside the existing screenshot collection.

1887c22e87 CmdPal: Did someone say grid pages? (#40832) 
Closes #38269

Still working on this one, but essentially allows a list page to become
a grid page by specifying a `GridProperties` property like so:

```C#
public AllAppsPage()
{
    PlaceholderText = Resources.search_installed_apps_placeholder;
    GridProperties = new MediumGridLayout();
}
```

> This is a very early version and very subject to change. Much to
clean, but feedback & suggestions are welcome.

f760ed9d34 CmdPal: Add option to Clipboard History extension to keep item after pasting (#41444) 
<!-- 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 a new toggle in the Clipboard History extension
settings that allows items to remain in history after being pasted into
another application.

It also adds a separate menu item to remove items from history manually.
Item deletion is protected by a confirmation prompt, which can be
disabled in the settings.

Additionally, it introduces a shared `ConfirmableCommand` that can wrap
any command with a confirmation prompt.

347c3f1efa 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.

caa7114e6f CmdPal: Add keyboard shortcuts to items in File Search extension (#41413) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Adds keyboard shortcuts to `IndexerListItem` commands to mirror those in
**All Apps**.

- Introduces a new `KeyChords` class that defines and manages key chords
for all actions within individual projects, improving code organization
and maintainability (similar to the `Icons` class).
- Adds a `WellKnownKeyChords` class in the shared project that defines
common shortcuts to be used consistently across the entire app.
- Updates `IndexerListItem` to include new command context items with
`RequestedShortcut` properties for:
  - Show in folder (`Ctrl+Shift+E`)  
  - Copy path (`Ctrl+Shift+C`)  
  - Open path in console (`Ctrl+Shift+R`)  
- Updates `AppListItem`, `UWPApplication`, and `Win32Program` to use the
new key chord properties from the `KeyChords` class, ensuring
consistency and maintainability.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
While setting up the PowerToys solution, I ran into repeated issues
where files or SDKs could not be found when loading the solution. After
a full evening of debugging, the root cause turned out to be Windows’
default path length limitation.

Even with a repository path like C:/Users/Micha/Development/PowerToys
(which is not unusually long by itself), the combination of folder
structure and file names exceeded the maximum allowed path length and
caused the build problems.

d153f3473a CmdPal: Improve error handling and logging in activation process (#41344) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR makes passing arguments from a new instance to the existing one
more resilient:


- Fixes situations where `x-cmdpal://` links might not work as expected.
Instead of performing the intended action (e.g., `x-cmdpal://background`
or `x-cmdpal://settings`), they could incorrectly just summon the main
window.

- Refactors the `AppInstance.Activated` handler to be synchronous.  
- The handler blocks `AppInstance.RedirectActivationToAsync` in the
caller.
- If it runs asynchronously (or offloads work to another thread,
including the UI thread), the calling instance may exit too soon,
preventing the activation arguments from being read.

- Adds a timeout and ensures the semaphore is always released so the
application can exit gracefully under all conditions.

- Adjusts handling for cases where the source application exits before
passing arguments by lowering the log severity to **Warning** and
providing a clearer, more descriptive message.

7931f14bd5 CmdPal: Prevent cloaking of a visible window when not necessary (#40981) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This change prevents unnecessary cloaking of a visible window when
showing it to the user, significantly reducing flickering. Some minor
flickering remains due to page content refreshes, but it is much less
noticeable.

New windows are now pre-cloaked immediately after creation. Cloaking is
explicitly applied only when an animation is expected (e.g., when
minimized).

Additionally, this change removes explicit window activation, as the
summon mechanism will activate the window as needed.

74b6140911 CmdPal: Make sure fallback items have icons visible in Settings window (#41427) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR ensures that fallback items consistently display an icon in
Settings window:

- Adds a new `InitialIcon` property to `TopLevelViewModel` to store the
first non-empty icon received.
- Uses `InitialIcon` in the extension settings page when listing
fallback items belonging to an extension.
- Sets initial icons in the constructor for fallback items that were not
previously initialized:
  - Date & Time extension  
  - System Commands extension
- The Windows Settings extension had its icon initially set, but it was
cleared when the item was updated for an empty search query. By
persisting the initial icon, subsequent updates no longer affect how the
fallback item is represented in Settings.

This change is considered a hotfix for the current state.  
The ideal long-term solution would be to declare the `DisplayIcon` on
fallback item explicitly, similar to `DisplayTitle`.
 
Pictures!

7fb2ff5119 CmdPal: init Details in a slow pass; add more winget logs (#41425) 
Related to #41384

We should load the `IDetails` from a `IListItem` in the slow pass,
instead of immediately when we load the list of items.

see also #39215

Also adds a lot of logging on our side, which helped ID that it isn't
our fault that the winget APIs are returning slowly. That's tracked
upstream (somewhere)

95b19739f6 CmdPal: Replace localized strings used as setting values in WebSearch extension with literals (#41331) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

For WebSearch extension:

- Replaces localized string identifiers with invariant literal keys to
ensure stable and consistent setting values, avoiding issues when
switching cultures or if display strings change.
- Renames the `ShowHistory` property to `HistoryItemCount`.  
- Changes the type from `string` to `int` and centralizes parsing logic
in `SettingsManager`.
- Retains backward compatibility by preserving the legacy settings key
`"ShowHistory"` in `SettingsManager`.

c5c6a3658f CmdPal: Sync generated resource comment in with .resx value [nit] (#41476) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Only the .resx change (None → Unlimited) was previously committed,
leaving the generated strongly-typed resource class out of sync. Visual
Studio kept regenerating the designer with a comment change on every
run. This commit updates the comment in the generated file to match the
source value, eliminating the noisy diffs.
