05d621a121 CmdPal: Fix EmptyContent not rendering (#41788)
<!-- 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.

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.

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.

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.

3f6b5e4a65 CmdPal: Respect Ignore shortcut in fullscreen mode when using the low-level keyboard hook (#41402)
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it

## Summary of the Pull Request

Refactors the logic that determines whether to ignore keyboard shortcuts
while in fullscreen mode. The check is now handled in `HandleSummon`,
which centralizes all precondition checks before delegating the actual
summoning to `HandleSummonCore`.

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`.

ef4e619350 CmdPal: Fix winget in release builds (#41183)
Seems as though that doing `.ToArray` on the `IIterable<>` things we get
back from the winget API were not trim-safe. I'm not entirely sure why.

But we're totally okay just manually iterating over these things. That
works like a charm.

Closes #41172

As a drive-by, I wrapped the line from #41025 in a try-catch. If that
doesn't fix it, hopefully it at least gives us more logging.

69dc1d5e18 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 },
        ];
    }
}
```

7b06fb3bdb CmdPal: Remove constrain that keeps the context menu flyout in the bounds of the window (#41133)
## Summary of the Pull Request

Added `ShouldConstrainToRootBounds="False"` to the Flyout element,
allowing it to extend beyond the bounds of its parent container. This
allows the menu to always open with top-left corner at the cursor
position as is common for the context menus.

This affects the menu only when opened as a context menu on the list
item (e.g. mouse right-click), not when opened from the Command Bar
(that opens same as before).

After screenshot:

8f93d0269f CmdPal: Honor "Single-click activation" only for pointer clicks and not for keyboard (#41119)
## Summary of the Pull Request

Changes the behavior of keyboard item activation when the item list view
has focus.
Previously, the list view handled item activation according to the
"Single-click activation" setting regardless of the input source (mouse,
pen, touch, or keyboard).

Now, when handling a ListView item click, the input source is detected,
and the "Single-click activation" setting is applied only for
pointer-raised clicks. For keyboard-triggered clicks, items are always
activated immediately.

Since the event `ListView.ItemClick` doesn't provide information about
what caused the item activation, this PR work around that by observing
last user input on the list immediately before `ItemClick` event is
invoked.

d2a4c96e12 CmdPal: Prevent disposed ContentPage from handling messages (#41083)
## Summary of the Pull Request

Changes the timing of when `ContentPage` registers to messages from the
Toolkit Messenger so it happens only when navigated to, mirroring the
unregister on navigation from. Also unregisters from all messages when
unloaded.

Proactively unregisters the Settings window from all messages on close
instead of relying on the GC’s nondeterministic cleanup. Since the
Settings window is newly created each time, old instances can still
react to messages even after their time is over, merely waiting for GC
to collect them.

6acb793184 CmdPal: Null pattern matching based on is expression rather than overridable operators (#40972)
What the title says. 😄 

Rather than relying on the potentially overloaded `!=` or `==` operators
when checking for null, now we'll use the `is` expression (possibly
combined with the `not` operator) to ensure correct checking. Probably
overkill for many of these classes, but decided to err on the side of
consistency. Would matter more on classes that may be inherited or
extended.

Using `is` and `is not` will provide us a guarantee that no
user-overloaded equality operators (`==`/`!=`) is invoked when a
`expression is null` is evaluated.

In code form, changed all instances of:

```c#
something != null

something == null
```

to:

```c#
something is not null

something is null
```

The one exception was checking null on a `KeyChord`. `KeyChord` is a
struct which is never null so VS will raise an error when trying this
versus just providing a warning when using `keyChord != null`. In
reality, we shouldn't do this check because it can't ever be null. In
the case of a `KeyChord` it **would** be a `KeyChord` equivalent to:

```c#
KeyChord keyChord = new ()
{
    Modifiers = 0,
    Vkey = 0,
    ScanCode = 0
};
```

67cd0f055c CmdPal: Check icon parent before adding in ContentIcon (Closes: #40928) (#40931)
## Summary of the Pull Request

This pull request introduces a minor but important update to the
`ContentIcon` control in the `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI` module. The changes
improve robustness by adding checks to prevent duplicate parenting of
the `Content` element and include a debug assertion for better
diagnostics during development.

## PR Checklist

- [x] Closes: #40928 
- [ ] **Communication:** not yet
- [ ] **Tests:** nope
- [ ] **Localization:** none
- [ ] **Dev docs:** nay
- [ ] **New binaries:** no nothing
- [ ] **Documentation updated:** too lazy for that

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Key changes:

#### Diagnostics and robustness improvements:
* Added a `Debug.Assert` statement to verify that the `Content` element

* Introduced checks to ensure the `Content` element is not added to the
`Grid`'s `Children` collection if it already exists there, preventing
redundant operations.

* Added a `using System.Diagnostics` directive to enable the use of the

decb947283 CmdPal: Replace Tapped events with generic ones (#40640)
## Summary of the Pull Request
Click event on WinUI buttons handle more than just click and is more
versatile that Tapped event. When you tap a Button with a finger or
stylus, or press a left mouse button while the pointer is over it, the
button raises the Click event. If a button has keyboard focus, pressing
the Enter key or the Spacebar key also raises the Click event.

This PR also replaces the right-tapped event on items on the list page
with context menu handling, allowing other input gestures (such as
Shift+F10) to also display the context menu.

And finally, it adds a button to the status messages badge so that the
flyout can be opened using the keyboard.

4785af2425 CmdPal: Handle exceptions when enqueuing callbacks to UI thread in IconCacheService (#40716)
## Summary of the Pull Request

Handle exceptions thrown in TryEnqueue callbacks so they don’t crash the
app (as they cannot be caught by the global exception handler). Any
exceptions are now returned to the caller for handling. Additionally, a
failure to enqueue the operation onto the dispatcher will also result in
an exception.

This is not a breaking change, as exceptions only propagate within the
class and do not affect external callers.

dba7be2619 [CmdPal] Replaced ellipsis button with 'More' label + shortcut textblock (#39838)
This PR improves the command bar UI in the command palette.
- Replaced ellipses "..." with a "More" label (can be changed to
something else. Maybe "Actions" or "Commands")
- Added a textblock for Ctrl + K shortcut
- Removed tooltip that showed Ctrl + K shortcut when hovering over
previous "..."

Special Note:
- The InfoBar.Severity binding was temporarily commented out because of
a built-time error even though 'State' property is present in the
ViewModel. Happy to revisit this if the team can help/confirm the
intended binding context/behavior

## Summary of the Pull Request
IconBox controls no longer receive keyboard focus by default. as their
focus state is not visually represented and they serve primarily as
decorative roles in the application. For cases where keyboard navigation
on an IconBox is desired, focusability can be enabled explicitly on the
specific instance.

* [x] Remove the `GenerateAppxManifest` change, and file something to
fix that. We are still generating msix's on every build, wtf
* [x] Clean-up code
* [x] Double-check loc
* [x] Remove a bunch of debug printing that we don't need anymore
* [ ] File a separate PR for moving the file (indexer) commands into a
common project, and re-use those here
* [x] Add history support again! I totally tore that out
  * did that in #40427 
* [x] make `shell:` paths and weird URI's just work. Good test is
`x-cmdpal://settings`

### further optimizations that probably aren't blocking
* [x] Our fast up-to-date is clearly broken, but I think that's been
broken since early 0.91
* [x] If the exe doesn't change, we don't need to create a new ListItem
for it. We can just re-use the current one, and just change the args
* [ ] if the directory hasn't changed, but we typed more chars (e.g.
`c:\windows\s` -> `c:\windows\sys`), we should cache the ListItem's from
the first query, and re-use them if possible.

6642c805b7 Context menu cleanup (#40584)
Addressing items in #40583

- [x] When navigating the context menu with the up/down keys, separators
should not be selectable.
- [x] [For context items with a super long title, we need to trim those
with an ellipsis. Ideally, we'd show a tooltip for just those
items.](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/40313)
- [x] [Context menu search bar text size doesn't update after changing
system text size](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/39648)
- [x] Weird "kick out" on first context menu item
- [x] [Primary button doesn't work if the command has more items (fix
regression)](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/40624)

Example of long context menu item titles with tooltips: (@niels9001,
look okay?)
