70bf430d9f CmdPal: Add a dock (#45824) 
Add support for a "dock" window in CmdPal. The dock is a toolbar powered
by the `APPBAR` APIs. This gives you a persistent region to display
commands for quick shortcuts or glanceable widgets.

The dock can be pinned to any side of the screen.
The dock can be independently styled with any of the theming controls
cmdpal already has
The dock has three "regions" to pin to - the "start", the "center", and
the "end".
Elements on the dock are grouped as "bands", which contains a set of
"items". Each "band" is one atomic unit. For example, the Media Player
extension produces 4 items, but one _band_.
The dock has only one size (for now)
The dock will only appear on your primary display (for now)

This PR includes support for pinning arbitrary top-level commands to the
dock - however, we're planning on replacing that with a more universal
ability to pin any command to the dock or top level. (see #45191). This
is at least usable for now.

This is definitely still _even more preview_ than usual PowerToys
features, but it's more than usable. I'd love to get it out there and
start collecting feedback on where to improve next. I'll probably add a
follow-up issue for tracking the remaining bugs & nits.

closes #45201

dca532cf4b CmdPal: Icon cache (#44538) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR implements actual cache in IconCacheService and adds some fixes
on top for free.

The good
- `IconCacheService` now caches decoded icons
- Ensures that UI thread is not starved by loading icons by limiting
number of threads that can load icons at any given time
- `IconCacheService` decodes bitmaps directly to the required size to
reduce memory usage
- `IconBox` now reacts to theme, DPI scale, and size changes immediately
- Introduced `AdaptiveCache` with time-based decay to improve icon reuse
- Updated `IconCacheProvider` and `IconCacheService` to handle multiple
icon sizes and scale-aware caching
- Added priority-based decoding in `IconCacheService` for more
responsive loading
- Extended `IconPathConverter` to support target icon sizes
- Switched hero images in `ShellPage` to use the jumbo icon cache
- Made `MainWindow` title bar logic resilient to a null `XamlRoot`
- Fixed Tag icon positioning
- Removes custom `TypedEventHandlerExtensions` in favor of
`CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Deferred`.

The bad
- Since IconData lacks a unique identity, when it includes a stream, it
relies on simple reference equality, acknowledging that it might not be
stable. We might cache some obsolete garbage because of this, but it is
fast and better than nothing at all. Yet another task for the future me.

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it

-->
## 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.

bb6f9a8b08 CmdPal: Add metadata to items in the clipboard history (#42188) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces the `IClipboardMetadataProvider` interface, which
inspects clipboard items and returns metadata plus optional actions.

Also this implementation updates changes how `DetailsLink` link is
handled through shell, to enable `file:` scheme to be handled
(`Hyperlink.NavigateUri` and `HyperlinkButton.NavigateUri` explicitly
blocks `file:` scheme, see
[here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-app-sdk/api/winrt/microsoft.ui.xaml.controls.hyperlinkbutton?view=windows-app-sdk-1.8)).

**Implemented providers:**
- `ImageMetadataProvider` — reports image dimensions, DPI, and byte
size.
- `TextFileSystemMetadataProvider` — recognizes text as a file-system
path and, if it exists, provides details about the target.
- `WebLinkMetadataProvider` — recognizes text as a URL and provides
link-related metadata.
- `TextMetadataProvider` — reports text statistics (e.g., character and
word counts).

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);
}
```

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 },
        ];
    }
}
```

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.

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.

Why?
The old library doesn't support native AOT. They implement the new one
but still in the lab project.
There are some breaking changes. So, seems we can not 100% to make it
align with the old version.

bf9217ec24 CmdPal: Implement IDetailsCommand in details (#39911) 
Implemented IDetailsCommands in details. This will close #38339.

This works very similar to Tags in that it is a list of commands. This
was done to allow for styling without the 12 spacing of the
ItemsRepeater and looks like you'd find in the OS-inbox like:

By default, CmdPal is bound to <kbd>Win+Alt+Space</kbd>.

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
