957b653210 CmdPal: Add a micro global error handler (#41392) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a scaled-down version of the global error handler
from #41061.

- Catches and logs virtually all unhandled exceptions.
- For UI thread exceptions, generates an additional error report:
    - One copy is saved in app's log folder for the Bug Report Tool.
- Another copy can be placed to the user’s desktop to increase
visibility and encourage report submission (disabled for now).
- Displays a message box that tells the user where to find the saved
report.

This PR is intentionally minimal and focused. The complete, more
polished solution is still planned in #41061, which should replace this
implementation in a follow-up.

103429b4d7 CmdPal: Add hidden window as owner for tool windows (#42902) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR changes the method used to hide tool windows from the taskbar
and Alt+Tab to a more reliable approach.
Previously, this was achieved by adding `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW` to an unowned
top-level window, which proved unreliable in several scenarios.

The new implementation assigns a hidden window as the owner of each tool
window.
This ensures that the window does not appear on the taskbar even when
the Windows setting
**Settings → System → Multitasking → On the taskbar, show all opened
windows** is set to **On all desktops**.

## Change log one-liner

Fixes Command Palette windows occasionally appearing on the taskbar
under certain system settings.

ae6da3235b CmdPal: Cleanup warnings, part 1 (#42584) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes several warnings in the Command Palette projects.


- _MSB4011_: `"Sdk.props" cannot be imported again. It was already
imported ...`
  - Removed the `Sdk` attribute from `CoreCommonProps.props`.

- _CsWinRT1028_ – “Class should be marked partial” on
*CsWin32*-generated classes.
- Since these classes cannot be made partial, a suppression attribute
has been added.
  - The `LocalKeyboardListener` type has been marked as partial.

- _Resource.resx_ – some strings had empty values.  
  - Updated the missing content.

- _WMC1506_ – *OneWay* bindings require at least one step to support
change notifications.
- In `SettingsWindow.xaml`, the breadcrumb binding was changed from
*OneWay* to *OneTime*, as `Crumb` does not support change notifications.

- _WMC0001_ – Unknown type in XML namespace
- In `SettingsWindow.xaml`, `FontWeight` was qualified with the CLR
namespace `Windows.UI.Text`.

c8486087d8 CmdPal: Update visual style of details panel elements (#42102) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR updates the details panel formatting:

- Hides the empty text block used as a separator when the key is empty.
- Makes separators more subtle by adjusting the brush.  
- Reverses the typographical hierarchy of detail key/value items, making
the value dominant and the key more subtle to help users focus on the
content.
- Defines new detail text styles derived from the base WinUI
typographical styles.

2b6c5d2cdd CmdPal: Hide search box on content pages [experiment] (#41479) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

CmdPal now displays the search box only on pages that derive from
ListPage. On ContentPage (forms, etc.), the search box is hidden.

- Moves keyboard shortcut handling from SearchBox to ShellPage so
shortcuts are always handled.
- Keeps the search box hidden/disabled to preserve layout metrics. 
- Refines focus management to prevent focus jumps during navigation. 
- For ContentPage page's content gains focus automatically (not just
form inputs, but now markdown content as well - so you can scroll
immediately, for example).
- Adds accessibility (a11y) tweaks: when navigating to content pages
without a visible search box, sets an explicit focus target so screen
readers announce a meaningful element. Screen reader will now announce
navigation to the page.
- Adds a title to the main list page - "Home".

7b7bae2889 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);
}
```

d07f40eec3 CmdPal go brrrr (performance improvements) (#41959) 
Still a WIP, but here's the deets so far:

## No more throwing canceled tokens

Throwing exceptions is expensive and since we essentially cancel tokens
anytime someone is typing beyond the debounce, we could be throwing
exceptions a ton during search. Since we don't care about those past
executions, now they just `return`.

## Reduced number of apps returned in search

While users can specify how many apps (no limit, 1, 5), if they specify
no limit, we hard limit it at 10. For a few reasons, fuzzy search gets
_really_ fuzzy sometimes and gives answers that users would think is
just plain wrong and they make the response list longer than it needs to
be.

## Fuzzy search: still fuzzy, but faster

Replaced `StringMatcher` class with `FuzzyStringMatcher`.
`FuzzyStringMatcher` is a C# port by @zadjii-msft of the Rust port by
@lhecker for [microsoft/edit](https://github.com/microsoft/edit), which
I believe originally came from [VS
Code](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode). It's a whole fuzzy rabbit
hole. But it's faster than the `StringMatcher` class it replaced.

## Fallbacks, you need to fall back

"In the beginning, fallbacks were created. This had made many people
very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy jokes aside, fallbacks are one cause of
slower search results. A few modifications have been made to get them
out of the way without reverting their ability to do things dynamically.

1. Fallbacks are no longer scored and will always* appear at the bottom
of the search results
2. In updating their search text, we now use a cancellation token to
stop processing previous searches when a new keypress is recorded.

## * But Calculator & Run are special

So, remember when I said that all fallbacks will not be ranked and
always display at the bottom of the results? Surprise, some will be
ranked and displayed based on that score. Specifically, Calculator and
Run are fallbacks that are whitelisted from the restrictions mentioned
above. They will continue to act as they do today.

We do have the ability to add future fallbacks to that whitelist as
well.

55251607a7 CmdPal: Make Command Palette's main and toast windows tool windows (#41835) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Replaces the `SetVisibilityInSwitchers` method with `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW`
style, removing reliance on the fragile `IsShownInSwitchers` property.
Explicitly overrides window corner preference so tool windows keep the
same rounded corners as regular app windows (tool windows otherwise
default to a smaller corner radius, which would change the look).

Benefits:
- Avoids use of the unreliable `IsShownInSwitchers` property, which has
multiple known failure cases.
- Allows window managers to correctly treat Command Palette as a popup
window rather than a normal app window, preventing unwanted tiling, grid
placement, or similar behaviors. This better matches the intended design
of CmdPal as an overlay UI.

fa741470bc CmdPal: Add local keyboard listener and use it to handle GoBack key (#41122) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Listener registers a hook on WH_KEYBOARD and raises an event when a key
is pressed down. Main window then uses it to handle the GoBack key that
we can't reach any other way.

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
};
```

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.

cc16b61eb7 Create a Microsoft.CmdPal.Core.ViewModels project (#40560) 
_targets #40504_ 

Major refactoring for #40113

This moves a large swath of the codebase to a `.Core` project. "Core"
doesn't have any explicit dependencies on "extensions", settings or the
current `MainListPage`. It's just a filterable list of stuff. This
should let us make this component a bit more reusable.

This is half of a PR. As I did this, I noticed a particular bit of code
for TopLevelVViewModels and CommandPaletteHost that was _very rough_.
Solving it in this PR would make "move everything to a new project" much
harder to review. So I'm submitting two PRs simultaneously, so we can
see the changes separately, then merge together.

608eb1e034 CmdPal: Pull out VM bits from ShellPage.xaml.cs (#40479) 
ref #40113

Moves a lot of the "model" logic out of `ShellPage.xaml.cs` into
`ShellViewModel`.

The LARGE majority of this code is copy-paste moving code. We're now
using a couple more messages to pass navigation between the VM and the
page. And a couple new messages for passing ETW events.

09c1575fa0 Ensure Command Palette main window remains hidden on taskbar Windows Explorer restarts (#40406) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

Ensures the Command Palette main window stays hidden from the taskbar
after Windows Explorer restarts. Also updates how app switcher
visibility is managed to prevent unhandled exceptions and avoid startup
crashes when Explorer is not running or is not responsive.

## PR Checklist

- [x] Closes: #40334
- [x] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors
already. If the work hasn't been agreed, this work might be rejected
- [x] **Tests:** no tests
- [x] **Localization:** nothing to localize
- [x] **Dev docs:** nothing to update
- [x] **New binaries:** no new binaries
- [x] **Documentation updated:** nothing to update

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- Settings on the main window are reapplied after the taskbar is
re-created (e.g., after Windows Explorer restarts), restoring visibility
settings for the app switcher and taskbar button.
- Defensive handling of the property AppWindow.IsShownInSwitchers
controlling appearance in system representations such as ALT+TAB and the
taskbar, to avoid errors when Windows Explorer is not running (see
https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/8596).
- Prevents application startup failures when the Command Palette is
launched in environments without Windows Explorer.

## Validation Steps Performed
- Verified that the CmdPal main window taskbar button is not visible
after Explorer is restarted (without an attached debugger).
- Verified that CmdPal can be started when Explorer is not running.
- Verified that the CmdPal main window taskbar button is visible after
Explorer is restarted (if a debugger is attached to CmdPal).

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
