0b7d780980 CmdPal: improve full-screen detection (#45891) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves fullscreen detection for the Command Palette activation
shortcut, adds a separate "busy state" guard, surfaces live notification
state diagnostics in Settings, and provides an opt-in rapid-press
breakthrough to bypass suppression.

The existing fullscreen guard lumped D3D fullscreen, presentation mode,
and the heuristic QUNS_BUSY state into a single check. This made it
impossible to opt into guarding against only true fullscreen while
ignoring false positives from apps like NVIDIA overlay. This PR splits
those concerns, adds diagnostic visibility, and gives users an escape
hatch.

The problem with the detection is that QUNS_RUNNING_D3D_FULL_SCREEN is
intended for exclusive D3D full-screen apps (some games), but it
overlaps with QUNS_BUSY for other games and apps.

  - Splits the fullscreen guard into two separate settings
- IsWindowFullscreen() now only checks QUNS_RUNNING_D3D_FULL_SCREEN and
QUNS_PRESENTATION_MODE
    - New IsAppBusy() handles the heuristic QUNS_BUSY state separately
- New IgnoreShortcutWhenBusy setting (off by default) so users aren't
silently blocked by false positives
- Migrates from hand-written P/Invoke (NativeMethods.cs, deleted) to
CsWin32-generated bindings
- Adds a live InfoBar in Activation settings when the shortcut is
limited
- Polls SHQueryUserNotificationState every 2 seconds via DispatcherTimer
- Displays a warning describing which state is active (D3D fullscreen,
presentation mode, or busy)
- New GetUserNotificationState() in WindowHelper exposes the raw state
for the UI
  - Attributes QUNS_BUSY to known trigger apps
- New FindVisibleTriggerApps() enumerates windows by class name and
process name against a known-app list
- When NVIDIA Overlay (or other known apps) are detected, the InfoBar
message names the likely culprit
  - Adds an opt-in rapid-press breakthrough to bypass suppression
    - New AllowBreakthroughShortcut setting (off by default)
- Pressing the activation shortcut 3 times within 2 seconds overrides
the guard
- The suppression is automatically bypassed when the Command Palette is
visible - to allow dismissal

8c4ff37a50 [CmdPal] Visual dock tweaks (#45954) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

- Changes the Dock height to 38px (from 32) to avoid item and app
clipping.
- Localization
- Removing dead code
- If the tooltip string is null or empty, the tooltip will not be shown
- Adding hyperlinks on the General and Dock pages in Settings (to be
updated to the corresponding docs via aka.ms)
- The droptarget for an empty listview is now wider, and has a

196b9305c3 CmdPal: Add 'Keep previous query' setting to Command Palette (#45742) 
## Summary

Closes #39929

Adds a new "Keep previous query" toggle to Command Palette settings that
preserves the last search text when the palette is reopened after
running a command.

## Changes

- **`SettingsModel.cs`** — Added `KeepPreviousQuery` bool property
(defaults to `false`)
- **`SettingsViewModel.cs`** — Added property with auto-save on change
- **`GeneralPage.xaml`** — Added toggle switch in the Activation
section, below "Highlight search on activate"
- **`Resources.resw`** — Added localized header ("Keep previous query")
and description ("Preserves the last search text when Command Palette is
reopened")
- **`SearchBar.xaml.cs`** — `Receive(GoHomeMessage)` now checks the
setting and skips `ClearSearch()` when enabled

## Behavior

- **Off (default):** No change from current behavior — search text is
cleared on dismiss.
- **On:** When a command is run and the palette dismisses, the search
text is preserved. On reopen, the previous query is still in the search
box. Combined with the existing "Highlight search on activate" setting,
the text will be pre-selected so the user can immediately retype or
press Enter to re-run.

## Validation

- Setting off: search clears on dismiss (existing behavior unchanged)
- Setting on: search text persists across dismiss/reopen
- Setting serializes/deserializes correctly via existing JSON settings
infrastructure
- No impact on page navigation, escape key behavior, or auto-go-home
timer

75bf64299d Creating a Common.UI.Controls lib (#45542) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

@jiripolasek FYI

This PR creates a new `Common.UI.Controls` library that contains shared
WinUI controls. We have been copying code manually between CmdPal and
Settings, and now with the new KBM we will run into the same issue.

This lib has shared controls projects can add to their proj so we have a
single source of truth.

 ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
  Updated links in:
    - src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Settings/GeneralPage.xaml
    - src/modules/cmdpal/extensionsdk/README.md

Note: The issue proposes linking directly to “Command Palette /
Developer Docs / Extensibility overview” on
Learn. I noticed the project often uses fwlink/aka.ms redirects instead
of direct Learn URLs. If creating a
redirect is preferred (or if I can create one), let me know and I’ll
update the links accordingly.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation
  steps taken as well -->
  ## Validation Steps Performed
Manually verified that the links resolve to the Microsoft Learn Command
Palette extensibility overview.

97c1de8bf6 CmdPal: Light, dark, pink, and unicorns (#43505) 
<!-- 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 user settings for app mode themes (dark, light, or
system) and background customization options, including custom colors,
system accent colors, or custom images.

- Adds a new page to the Settings window with new appearance settings
and moves some existing settings there as well.
- Introduces a new core-level service abstraction, `IThemeService`, that
holds the state for the current theme.
- Uses the helper class `ResourceSwapper` to update application-level
XAML resources. The way WinUI / XAML handles these is painful, and XAML
Hot Reload is pain². Initialization must be lazy, as XAML resources can
only be accessed after the window is activated.
- `ThemeService` takes app and system settings and selects one of the
registered `IThemeProvider`s to calculate visuals and choose the
appropriate XAML resources.
  - At the moment, there are two:
    - `NormalThemeProvider`
      - Provides the current uncolorized light and dark styles  
      - `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Normal.xaml`
    - `ColorfulThemeProvider`
- Style that matches the Windows 11 visual style (based on the Start
menu) and colors
      - `ms-appx:///Styles/Theme.Colorful.xaml`  
- Applied when the background is colorized or a background image is
selected
- The app theme is applied only on the main window
(`WindowThemeSynchronizer` helper class can be used to synchronize other
windows if needed).
- Adds a new dependency on `Microsoft.Graphics.Win2D`.
- Adds a custom color picker popup; the one from the Community Toolkit
occasionally loses the selected color.
- Flyby: separates the keyword tag and localizable label for pages in
the Settings window navigation.

e68526b8d8 CmdPal: Add configuration option for Escape key behavior (#43354) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds a new option to the **General** page in **Settings**:

Escape key behavior — a dropdown with the following choices:

- Clear search first, then go back
  - Current behavior.
  - If the search box contains text, it is cleared; otherwise goes back.
  - On the home page, CmdPal is dismissed.

- Go back
  - Leaves the search text intact.
- If the page is not transient, the search text reappears when
returning.
  - On the home page, CmdPal is dismissed.

- Hide window and go home (Always dismiss)
  - Immediately dismisses CmdPal and navigates to the home page.
  - Ignores the **Go home when activated** setting.
  - Search text is cleared.

- Hide window
  - Just hides the window.
  - Intended to be used with #43355.

This implementation preserves existing behavior, except for **Always
dismiss**, which always forces navigation to the home page.

47d4a65223 CmdPal: Add option to return to home automatically after a delay (#43551) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces the Go home when activated setting with a new
Automatically return home option. This allows users to specify how long
the Command Palette should wait after being dismissed before
automatically returning to the home page. It also introduces migration
logic to transition from the old setting to the new one.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

This PR adds a "Recenter window on launch" setting to Command Palette
with the following changes:

1. Added a new `RecenterWindow` property to `SettingsModel` (default is
true for backward compatibility)
2. Added corresponding property to `SettingsViewModel` for binding
3. Created a new `WindowPosition` class to track window position and
size
4. Modified `MainWindow.xaml.cs` to:
    - Track window position and size changes
    - Update position memory when window is modified or dismissed
    - Respect the recenter setting when showing the window
5. Added UI controls in the settings page with proper localization
strings

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1c1db9f6-b23e-47c0-9a03-93906d4c9a42)



This feature allows users who prefer to have the Command Palette appear
in a specific screen location to maintain that preference, while others
can continue using the centered window behavior.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
1. Manually verified that with the setting enabled (default), the window
centers on launch
2. Verified that with the setting disabled, the window appears at its
last position

c87ef438c9 CmdPal: Add URI protocol command to reload extension (#41445) 
<!-- 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 way to reload extensions externally and makes
the feature configurable in the settings UI.

- Adds a new URI protocol command `x-cmdpal://reload` → triggers an
extension reload
- Introduces a new "For Developers" section on the General settings page
- Includes an option to enable/disable the external reload feature
- **Note:** This change depends on the fix in #41344 to work correctly. 

Pictures? Pictures!

bf16e10baf Updates for check-spelling v0.0.25 (#40386) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

- #39572 updated check-spelling but ignored:
   > 🐣 Breaking Changes
[Code Scanning action requires a Code Scanning
Ruleset](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Breaking-Change:-Code-Scanning-action-requires-a-Code-Scanning-Ruleset)
If you use SARIF reporting, then instead of the workflow yielding an ❌
when it fails, it will rely on [github-advanced-security
🤖](https://github.com/apps/github-advanced-security) to report the
failure. You will need to adjust your checks for PRs.

This means that check-spelling hasn't been properly doing its job 😦.

I'm sorry, I should have pushed a thing to this repo earlier,...

Anyway, as with most refreshes, this comes with a number of fixes, some
are fixes for typos that snuck in before the 0.0.25 upgrade, some are
for things that snuck in after, some are based on new rules in
spell-check-this, and some are hand written patterns based on running
through this repository a few times.

About the 🐣 **breaking change**: someone needs to create a ruleset for
this repository (see [Code Scanning action requires a Code Scanning
Ruleset: Sample ruleset

](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Breaking-Change:-Code-Scanning-action-requires-a-Code-Scanning-Ruleset#sample-ruleset)).

The alternative to adding a ruleset is to change the condition to not
use sarif for this repository. In general, I think the github
integration from sarif is prettier/more helpful, so I think that it's
the better choice.

You can see an example of it working in:

c7789abf04 CmdPal: Add low-level keyboard hook for global hotkey (#38250) 
Adds the ability to make the global CmdPal hotkey a low-level hook. This is needed for `win+space`, `win+r`, et al. 

I've only added this to the root hotkey. Other hotkeys will still use the normal `RegisterHotkey` ones. We can re-evaluate this for 0.2+.

14919dff10 CmdPal: Fix SUI crash ; Allow extensions to be disabled (#38040) 
Both `TopLevelCommandItemWrapper` and `TopLevelViewModel` were really the same thing. The latter was from an earlier prototype, and the former is a more correct, safer abstraction. We really should have only ever used the former, but alas, we only used it for the SUI, and it piggy-backed off the latter, and that meant the latter's bugs became the former's.


tldr: I made the icon access safe in the SUI. 

And while I was doing this, because we now have a cleaner VM abstraction here in the host, we can actually cleanly disable extensions, because the `CommandProviderWrapper` knows which `ViewModel`s it made.

f68f408be3 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. 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
