Cherry-pick of 782ee47. That is probably over-aggressive, but it fixes
it.
Closes #40633
previously: #40744
---------
Co-authored-by: Yu Leng (from Dev Box) <yuleng@microsoft.com>
Regressed in one of the #40113 prs.
The Core.VM.PageViewModelFactory didn't actually know how to make a
ContentPage, because Core can't handle a FormContent.
But really, the CommandSettingsViewModel shouldn't have ever been in the
.Core namespace, nor should it have used the ContentPageViewModel.
To prevent future mistakes like this,
* I got rid of `Core.ViewModels/PageViewModelFactory`, cause we didn't
need it.
* I made `ContentPageViewModel` abstract, to prevent you from trying to
instantiate it
Closes#40778
_⚠️ targets #39955_
This adds history support to the new run page.
* It'll initialize the history with the history from the run dialog, if
there is any.
* Any new commands that are run, or files/dirs that are opened will also
get added to the history
* history will persist across reboots
This entirely rewrites the shell page. It feels a lot more like the old
run dialog now.
* It's got icons for files & exes
* it can handle network paths
* it can handle `commands /with args...`
* it'll suggest files in that path as you type
* it handles `%environmentVariables%`
* it handles `"Paths with\spaces in them"`
* it shows you the path as a suggestion, in the text box, as you move
the selection
References:
Closes#39044Closes#39419Closes#38298Closes#40311
### Remaining todo's
* [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.
_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.
_targets #40482_
ref #40113
A smaller refactor, to be sure.
This just moves the instantiation of PageViewModel objects out of the
ShellViewModel, and into its own class.
The idea being that other page types could be added, just by extending
that factory (or implementing your own), and then also handling those
new VMs in your ShellPage.xaml.cs equivalent.
## Summary of the Pull Request
Updates LoadTopLevelCommandsFromProvider so it returns list of top-level
commands for further instead of modifying TopLevelCommands collection
directly.
Reverts unintended change from cfa5f75 where
LoadTopLevelCommandsFromProvider updates the shared TopLevelCommands
collection directly from in a task, causing thread-safety issues and
bypassing synchronization lock on the collection.

Kinda mental that the viewmodel had this hard dependency.
So instead I added a service for providing the root page for the app.
Theoretically, you could add a different `IRootPageService`, and give
out
a different root page.
ref #40113
According to Issue #40447 Without the Lock in RecentCommandsManager we
get Exception:
Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.
It indicated that while GetCommandHistoryWeight was enumerating History,
another method (likely AddHistoryItem) modified it at the same time.
Since List is not thread-safe, simultaneous read+write can break it.

of object locking and implemented it according to rest of the locks
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
I've Manually tested it and also made sure that all the unit test pass
## Validation Steps Performed
This adds settings to each provider to allow us to control if individual
fallback items are enabled or not, regardless of the provider being
enabled.
This is relevant to _all the threads where disabling fallback commands
came up_
This just adds another section to each provider's settings page, with a
list of the fallback commands.
This also has nothing to do with the "top-level apps search", which is
not really a fallback command - it's its own thing.
Ref #38288. Doesn't close that, because this only controls
enable/disable, not ranking.
From here, we should be able to add a dedicated page in the SUI that
shows all the fallbacks across all providers. That's where we'll enable
the ordering.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Prevents installed applications from appearing in the top-level search
when Installed Apps extension is disabled.
Previously, application commands were still returned in the global
search results even when the *Installed Apps* extension was turned off.
To match user expectations, the search now respects the extension’s
enabled state.
- Added `IsActive` property to `CommandProviderWrapper` to indicate
whether the provider is both valid and enabled by the user in the
settings.
- Updated `MainListPage` to verify that the provider for `AllApps` is
active before including apps in filtered results.

Verified that the Installed app entries are shown in the top-level
search only when the Installed apps extension is enabled. Verified that
turning the Installed apps extension on or off has an immediate effect,
and that the behavior persists after an application restart.
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.
Refactored ContextMenu into it's own control to allow displaying in
CommandBar and in response to right click on list items.
- Adds "critical" styling to context menu items flagged as `IsCritical`.
This will use the theme to style with correct color.
- Added `SeparatorContextItem` and modified `MoreCommands` to allow for
both `CommandContextItem`s and `SeparatorContextItem`s.
- Right clicking a list item with a context menu will open the context
menu at the position of the click and position the filter box at the top
of the context menu.

## Summary of the Pull Request
A memory leak was identified where activating a Command Palette
extension via a hotkey would lead to a linear increase in resource
consumption and a corresponding decrease in search performance.
Each activation created a new `PageViewModel` instance for the
extension's UI. However, the `ShellViewModel` did not dispose of the
previous `PageViewModel` instance when a new one was created.
The fix is implemented in
`Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.ViewModels/ShellViewModel.cs` by ensuring that
`PageViewModel` instances are correctly disposed of when they are no
longer active.

## Validation Steps Performed
1. Installed [Workspace Launcher for Visual Studio /
Code](https://github.com/tanchekwei/WorkspaceLauncherForVSCode)
2. Configured a global hotkey for the extension (e.g., Alt + Q).
3. Ran the following AHK script. Pressing F1 simulates pressing the
hotkey 10 times with a 200ms interval, followed by typing p to trigger a
search and observe how many times `GetItems` is invoked.
```ahk
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1
; Press F1 to run the sequence
F1::
Loop, 10
{
Send, !q
Sleep, 200
}
Send, p
return
```
### Before the Fix (PowerToys v0.91.1)
- Pressing the hotkey 10 times then search will triggered `GetItems` 12
times.

## Problem
The "Reload" command in the Command Palette was only showing up when
searching with a lowercase 'r' (e.g., "reload") but not with an
uppercase 'R' (e.g., "Reload"). This was inconsistent with the
documentation which references a "Reload" command.
## Solution
Fixed the case-sensitivity issue in `FallbackReloadItem.UpdateQuery()`
by changing the string comparison from case-sensitive to
case-insensitive:
```csharp
// Before
_reloadCommand.Name = query.StartsWith('r') ? "Reload" : string.Empty;
// After
_reloadCommand.Name = query.StartsWith("r", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) ? "Reload" : string.Empty;
```
This change makes the Reload command visible when typing either "reload"
or "Reload" in the Command Palette, improving the user experience for
extension developers.
Fixes#39769.

## Summary of the Pull Request
### 1. Make AdaptiveCards WinUI3 AOT Compatible
The AdaptiveCards.WinUI3 NuGet packages ship with precompiled WinRT
projections (RendererCsProjection.dll, etc.), which are not
trim/AOT-safe. These projections internally use APIs like
ComWrappersSupport.GetObjectReferenceForInterface, which break under
PublishAot.
To resolve this:
- We exclude their compile assets to avoid using the shipped C#
projections.
- Use the .winmd metadata files with CsWinRT to regenerate our own
AOT-compatible projections.
- Manually copy the required native .dlls from the NuGet package.
### 2. Ensure AOT-Compatible Transitive Dependency
The AdaptiveCards.Templating package depends on
Microsoft.Bot.AdaptiveExpressions.Core, but doesn’t pin an AOT-safe
version. We explicitly version Microsoft.Bot.AdaptiveExpressions.Core to
4.23.0 to ensure compatibility with NativeAOT.

Removes extra call to Marshal.GetIUnknownForObject. This method is meant
to take a .NET object that implements a COM interface and return a
pointer to a COM instance that can be passed to native COM code, but the
code was passing a COM instance pointer.

Closes#38436
This was especially noticable with the icons extension.
Turns out in #39051, when I was experimenting with getting AoT clean,
i accidentally called this twice. Then we actually commited that
straight up.
This PR reverts that. It also moves a similar case where we were
initializing all the tags on the UI thread. That's wrong too - we need
to fetch properties off the UI thread, then update the list on the UI
thread.
Closes nothing, I didn't file this yet.
## Summary of the Pull Request
The Command Palette allows users to create extensions with dashes in their names, which is invalid for C# namespaces. This causes projects to fail during build because the name cannot be used as a valid namespace.
## Changes
- Updated the validation regex in `NewExtensionForm.cs` to only allow valid C# identifiers
- Now only allows names starting with a letter or underscore, followed by letters, numbers, or underscores
- Explicitly prevents dashes, spaces, and other special characters
- Improved the error message to clearly explain the requirements for valid C# identifiers
## Before
Previously, the input only validated that no spaces were used:
```csharp
"regex": "^[^\\s]+$"
```
## After
Now the input properly validates for C# namespace compatibility:
```csharp
"regex": "^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$"
```
This ensures that users cannot create extension projects with names that would fail to build.
## PR Checklist
- [ ] **Closes:** https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/38522
This bumps the version of the toolkit consumed by the template to 0.2.0
~Ironically, I have not yet published 0.2. I'm spinning that CI build currently. But I'll have that uploaded tomorrow morning at the latest~
EDIT: package is uploaded now
Extensions can change the properties on their Details, and they should
be observable, but they weren't. This is because the ShellPage is
ultimately responsible for exposing the details, but it doesn't own the
details. The selected ListItemViewModel from the ListPage does.
This PR just adds a event handler on ListViewModel. We'll attach/detach
that handler to ListItemViewModels as the selection changes. In the body
of that handler, we'll let the ShellPage know when the details object
changes (by sending ShowDetails/HideDetails messages).
Closes#39216

## Summary of the Pull Request
Card = AdaptiveCard.FromJsonString(cardJson) is called in catch block, if it fails, app will crash.
This PR stops us from synchronously initializing the settings page for every extension (including built-in's) on startup. That incurs a small penalty that really adds up the more extensions a user has.
Instead, we'll now only initialize the `CommandSettings` object when we first actually need it.
From a relatively unscientific test, this saves approximately 10% on the initialization of builtin commands, and for my setup, it trims about 28% off extension initialization (across all built-in's / extensions):
branch | Built-in load (ms) | Extension load (ms) | %Δ builtin | %Δ extensions |
-- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
main | 1455 | 6867.6 | | |
this PR | 1309.2 | 4919 | -10.02% | -28.37%
Closes#38321
There's apparently a footgun with the way we're using ComServer, which
results in us leaking the extension processes when we think we've
disposed them
The fix unfortunately has to be on the extension side. Extensions
published prior to 0.2 will need to manually fix this.

On a reload, the system commands fallback would leave the "restart"
fallback behind, for the same reason as what we found around
e40372c & ef264d9 in #38455
I cannot find an issue for this. I swear I filed it somewhere.
If you open winget, search for "terminal", wait till it loads, then
hit `esc`, we'll clear the search and empty the list, but never actually
hide the details pane. That looks weird.
This fixes that.
Closes _nothing i guess_.
This reduces our extension startup time by approximately 70% on my
machine (I have 17 extensions). I'd guess the gains scale with the
number of extensions. That's 8s -> 3s on average, and now I also get 2.5s reloads.
This retains the order of the list of extensions, by only starting the
processes in parallel. Once we have all the command provider instances,
then actually retrieving the commands.
It also adds a timeout on startup & load, so that one misbehaving extension won't block everyone else.

Closes#38829
If we always UpdateProperty here, then there's a possible
race condition, where we raise the PropertyChanged(SearchText)
before the subclass actually retrieves the new SearchText from the
model. In that race situation, if the UI thread handles the
PropertyChanged before ListViewModel fetches the SearchText, it'll
think that the old search text is the _new_ value.

At first I just wanted to add support for nested context menus.
But then I also had to add a search box, so the focus wouldn't get weird.
End result:

This gets rid of the need to have the search box and the command bar both track item keybindings - now it's just in the command bar.
Closes#38299Closes#38442
* [x] Re-adds the context menu shortcut text
* [x] Hooks up the keybindings to the search box so that you can just press the keys while you have an item selected, and do a context command
* [x] Hook these keybindings up to the context flyout itself
* [x] Adds a sample for testing

**WARNING:** This PR will probably blow up all in-flight PRs
at some point in the early days of CmdPal, two of us created seperate
`Exts` and `exts` dirs. Depending on what the casing was on the branch
that you checked one of those out from, it'd get stuck like that on your
PC forever.
Windows didn't care, so we never noticed.
But GitHub does care, and now browsing the source on GitHub is basically
impossible.
