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.

I noticed the double "active" line around the items when the ListPage is
focused. I was unable to find where that is defined. Ideally, the
black-border would go away.

I tested with AOT turned on.

The behavior accounts for suggestions. If the SearchBar is focused and
there is a suggestion, right-arrow will [continue] to complete the
suggestion.

60deec6815 Using centralized package management for vcxproj (#43920) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
This pull request updates the build system for several native and
managed projects, modernizing NuGet package management and improving
code analysis configuration. The main changes involve switching from
legacy `packages.config` and manual `.props`/`.targets` imports to
PackageReference style for native projects, updating package versions,
and streamlining code analysis settings.

**Build system modernization and package management:**

* Migrated native projects (`PowerToys.MeasureToolCore.vcxproj`,
`FindMyMouse.vcxproj`) from legacy `packages.config` and manual
`.props`/`.targets` imports to NuGet PackageReference style, simplifying
dependency management and build configuration. This includes removing
the `packages.config` file and related import/error logic, and
introducing `PackageReference` items for required packages.

* Updated the centralized package versions in
`Directory.Packages.props`, adding new entries for `boost`,
`boost_regex-vc143`, `Microsoft.Windows.ImplementationLibrary`, and
`Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation` to support the new build system and
dependencies.

**Code analysis improvements:**

* Added configuration to both native and managed projects
(`PowerToys.MeasureToolCore.vcxproj`, `MeasureToolUI.csproj`) to
suppress specific warnings (81010002) and exclude NuGet cache files from
code analysis, reducing noise and improving build performance.

**Project reference and output handling:**

* Updated the managed project (`MeasureToolUI.csproj`) to handle native
project outputs more robustly, ensuring the WinMD and DLL files are
available at runtime and configuring the project reference to avoid
assembly reference issues.

**Compiler configuration:**

* Enhanced C++ compiler settings in `Cpp.Build.props` to treat
angle-bracket includes as external, disable warnings and analysis for
external headers, and optimize build performance.

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.

52f2561937 CmdPal: Find app for WinGet package (#43943) 
<!-- 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 bit of dark magic to resolve the correct installed
app for a given WinGet package:

- Packaged apps: matched using their package family name.
- Everything else: matched using the product code (GUID) and heuristic
registry lookup.
- The registry rarely stores the executable path directly, so the logic
compares install locations with known apps.
  - It attempts to pick the best candidate while avoiding uninstallers.
  - It’s not science — let’s call it `#666666` magic.
- MSI API support was removed because it's too slow for this scenario.
- If no reliable match is found, the command is skipped for now. The
future plan is to redirect the user to the list of installed apps and
search by display name, but that needs some supporting infrastructure
first.
- The command order for WinGet list entries was updated: **Install /
Uninstall** is now the primary action, ensuring a stable UI since this
command is always available.

4d3c223402 CmdPal: Fix grid views (#43991) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes the crash due to binding to a trimmed property. For this
it converts runtime bindings on GridView to use `{x:Bind}` so this issue
can't happen in the future.

- Fixes a crash related to the `Visibility` property in gallery/grid
views when trimmed during AOT builds.
- Fixes ShowTitle and ShowSubtitle properties, they are now taken into
account in a view.
- Improves UI layout, removes some margins and maches the corner radius
of the item contaienr with the item content in the gallery view.
- Refactores gallery and grid views to move logic from the view to the
view model so we can x:Bind to them.
- Replaces `{Binding}` with `{x:Bind}` to improve performance and enable
compile-time binding validation.
- Properties related to grids are splatted on to the common
`IGridPropertiesViewModel` interface. Subclassing would add extra
overhead without substential benefit.
- Adds new samples to showcase various grid view configurations.

bc0a760aff CmdPal: Add mini dev center (#43939) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a small ribbon to the CmdPal for app developers. The
dev ribbon is dynamically added to the main window in local (non-CI)
builds. It shows the number of logged errors and warnings, the current
build configuration (Debug or Release), and whether it’s built with AOT.

The flyout shows the latest errors and warnings and lets you quickly
access the logs.

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.

2c9a9e9fca CmdPal: Improve Command Palette behavior in "Last position" mode (#43543) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves Command Palette behavior in “Last position” mode:
- Correctly handles DPI changes between monitors.
- Ensures the window is always visible — if it’s fully off-screen or has
less than 100px visible on any axis, it is re-centered.

HideWindow is at the end of the constructor, so the behavior remains
unchanged.

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.

## Summary of the Pull Request

Added a new setting option to Command Palette that allows users to
choose whether the window should be recentered on every launch or
remember its last position. This enhancement improves user experience by
maintaining window positioning preferences across sessions.

## 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

Adds a rough implementation that appears to work, but it hasn’t been
tested. Don’t rely on it yet—I’m too tired to test properly or write a
polished commit message.

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.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Previously, the page up/down keys only performed any action while an
item in the list was focused. The page up/down keys did not have any
effect while the search box was focused, however the up/down arrows do
have effect. This PR enables the page up/down keys while the search box
is focused.

There is a caveat here. The page up/down behavior is not consistent. I
do not see a way to tell the ListView to perform its native page up/down
function. Instead, I manually calculate roughly which item to scroll-to.
Because of this, the amount of scroll between when the search box is
focused and when an item in the ListView is focused is not consistent.

e256e79685 CmdPal: Fix search box text selection in ShellPage.GoHome (#42937) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes an issue where `ShellPage.GoHome` wouldn’t select the
search box text when the current page was already the home page.

In that case, the navigation stack was empty, and no code was executed
because focusing the text had been delegated to the `GoBack` operation.

## Change log one-liner

Ensured search text is selected when Go home when activated and
Highlight search on activate are both enabled.

6e5ad11bc3 CmdpPal: SearchBox visibility and async loading race (#42783) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces two related fixes to improve the stability and
reliability of navigation and search UI behavior in the shell:

- **Ensure search box visibility is correctly updated**  
- `ShellViewModel` previously set `IsSearchBoxVisible` after navigation
to the page, but didn’t update it when the value changed. While the
value isn’t expected to change dynamically, the property initialization
is asynchronous, which could cause a race condition.
- As a defensive measure, this also changes the default value of
uninitialized property to make it visible by default.

- **Cancel asynchronous focus placement if navigation changes**  
- Ensures that any pending asynchronous focus operation is cancelled
when another navigation occurs before it completes.

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`.

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).

This PR:

- Cleans up ContentPageViewModel when its page unloads to ensure it
unsubscribes from ItemsChanged.

- Clears the command bar before initializing a new page view model,

cd5b76c988 CmdPal: make the context menu search look more like a cmdpal (#42081) 
Replaces our styling with the same styleing we use for the search bar

But we can't _just_ do that, because the stupid "text cursors don't show
up on top of transparent backgrounds" thing.

So I just added the smoke backdrop to the search box. Seemed reasonable.

Screenshots below.

ca4e8b2986 CmdPal: Cancel page load when superseded by a new page navigation (#42233) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces cancellation support for navigation. If a user
navigates to page X and then returns back or navigates elsewhere before
the page X fully loads, this update ensures that page X will not set
itself as the current page and is ignored.

It resolves the issue where returning to the home page left the previous
page's icon and placeholder visible in the search bar, causing the
search functionality to fail.

466a94eb40 CmdPal: Fix updating primary command and context menu and app icons (#42155) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes three issues in one go:
- Restores missing icons in app context menus.
- Fixes propagation of changes from a command item to the context menu
item for the primary action.
- Ensures the context menus stay in sync when underlying command items
change.

Details:
- Correctly propagates updates of name, icon, and subtitle from a
command item to its primary command
(`CommandItemViewModel._defaultCommandContextItemViewModel`).
- Correctly propagate updates of command's name to title
(`CommandItem.ctor`).
- Fixes icon loading for application items: `AppCommand` no longer loads
an app icon by default but instead relies on the caller to provide one
(since `AppListItem` also handles icon loading).
- Adds a generic fallback icon for apps when an icon cannot be loaded.
- Updates bindings on context menu items to `OneWay`, ensuring the UI
properly reflects item changes.
- Adds a sample that showcases dynamically updated commands (with cats
and dolphins!) to _Samples → List Page Sample Command_.

⚠️ Toolkit changes:
- `CommandItem` won't capture assigned Command's name as its `Title`.
This will allow it to propagate future changes to `Command.Name`.

Pictures? Moving ones!

e748f31593 CmdPal: Handle DWM cloak failure by keeping window hidden (#42107) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a workaround for cases where DWM cloaking of the main
window fails.

If the main window cannot be cloaked by DWM, it will remain hidden until
the user explicitly summons it. (Normally, we cloak the window and
immediately display it under DWM's cover of darkness. When cloaking
fails, the windows would be displayed permanently.)

55f0bcc441 CmdPal: Make Bookmarks Great and Fast Again (#41961) 
## Summary of the Pull Request


This PR improves recognition and classification of bookmarks, allowing
CmdPal to recognize almost anything sensible a user can throw at
it—while being forgiving of common input issues (such as unquoted spaces
in paths, etc.).

Extended classification and exploration of edge cases also revealed
limitations in the current implementation, which reloaded all bookmarks
on every change. This caused visible UI lag and could lead to issues
like unintentionally adding the same bookmark multiple times.

### tl;dr

More details below

- Introduces `BookmarkManager` (async saves, thread-safe, immutable,
unique IDs, separate persistence).
- Adds `BookmarkResolver` (classification, Shell-like path/exe
resolution, better icons).
- `BookmarkListItem` now refreshes independently; Name is optional
(Shell fallback).
- Uses Shell API for user-friendly names and paths.  
- Adds `IIconLocator`, protocol icon support, Steam custom icon,
fallback icons and improved `FaviconLoader` (handles redirects). Every
bookmark should now have icon, so we have consistent UI without gaps.
- Refactors placeholders (`IPlaceholderParser`), adds tests, restricts
names to `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]`, excludes GUIDs.
- Reorganizes structure, syncs icons/key chords with AllApps/Indexer.  
- For web and protocol bookmarks URL-encodes placeholder values
- **Performance:** avoids full reloads, improves scalability, reduces UI
lag.
- **Breaking change:** stricter placeholder rules, bookmark command ids.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Changes

- **Bookmark Manager**  
  - Introduces a `BookmarkManager` class that:  
    - Holds bookmarks in memory and saves changes asynchronously.  
    - Is safe to operate from multiple threads.  
    - Uses immutable data for transport.  
    - Separates the **persistence model** from in-memory data.  
    - Assigns explicit unique IDs to bookmarks.  
- These IDs also serve as stable top-level command identifiers, enabling
aliases and shortcuts to be bound reliably.

- **Bookmark Resolver**  
- Determines the type of a bookmark (`CommandKind`: file, web link,
command, etc.).
  - Detects its target and parameters.  
- Returns a `Classification` object containing all information needed to
present the bookmark to the user (icon, primary command, context menu
actions, etc.).
- For unquoted local paths, attempts to find the *longest viable
matching path* to a file or executable, automatically handling spaces in
paths (e.g., `C:\Program Files`).
- The resolution of executables from the command line now more closely
matches **Windows Shell** behavior.
    - Users are more likely to get the correct result.  
    - Icons can be determined more reliably.  

- **Bookmark List Items**  
- Each top-level bookmark item (`BookmarkListItem`) is now responsible
for presenting itself.
  - Items refresh their state independently on load or after changes.  
  - The **Name** field is now optional.  
- If no explicit name is provided, a user-friendly fallback name is
computed automatically using the Shell API.
- Context actions are now more in line with **All Apps** and **Indexer**
built-in extensions, matching items, icons, and shortcuts (still a work
in progress).

- **Shell API Integration**  
- Uses the Shell API to provide friendly names and paths for shell or
file system items, keeping the UI aligned with the OS.

- **Protocol and Icon Support**  
  - Adds `IIconLocator` and protocol icon support.  
- Provides a custom icon for **Steam**, since Steam registers its
protocol to an executable not on the path (and the Steam protocol is
expected to be a common case).
  - Adds `FaviconLoader` for web links.  
- Can now follow redirects and retrieve the favicon even if the server
takes the request on a “sightseeing tour.”
- Provides **Fluent Segoe fallback icons** that match the bookmark
classification when no specific icon is available.

- **Refactors and Reorganization**  
  - Extracts `IPlaceholderParser` for testability and reusability.  
- Renames `Bookmarks` → `BookmarksData` to prevent naming collisions.
  - Reorganizes the structure (reducing root-level file clutter).  
  - Synchronizes icons and key chords with AllApps/Indexer.  
- Refactors placeholder parsing logic and **adds tests** to improve
reliability.

- **Misc**
- Correctly URL-encodes placeholder values in Web URL or protocol
bookmarks.

---

### Performance Improvements

- Eliminates full reloads of all bookmarks on every change.  
- Improves scalability when working with a large number of bookmarks.  
- Independent refresh of list items reduces UI lag and improves
responsiveness.
- Asynchronous persistence prevents blocking the UI thread on saves.  

---

### Breaking Changes

- **Placeholders**  
- Placeholder names are now restricted to letters (`a–z`, `A–Z`), digits
(`0–9`), uderscore (`_`), hyphen (`-`).
- GUIDs are explicitly excluded as valid placeholders to prevent
collisions with shell IDs.
- When presented to the user, placeholders are considered
case-insensitive.
- ** Bookmark Top-Level Command
- **Bookmark Top-Level Command**  
  - IDs for bookmark commands are now based on a unique identifier.  
  - This breaks existing bindings to shortcuts and aliases.  
- Newly created bindings will be stable regardless of changes to the
bookmark (name, address, or having placeholders).

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.

<!-- 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
It's time to enable AOT by default and clean up the related
configuration.
PublishReadyToRun and PublishTrimmed are unnecessary now.

By clean up these configuration, cmdpal will:
1. Run without AOT in the VS by default.
2. Build with AOT by default in the Pipeline.

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.

e1681ec08f CmdPal: Add Context Menu command "Show Details" when list item has details, but list view's ShowDetails == false (#40870) 
Closes #38270

When a list item's `Details` property is not null, but it's parent
ListViews `ShowDetails` property is false, this PR adds a context menu
item at the bottom of the commands for the list item to show details.
Clicking that command will show the details for the selected item, but
the details pane will hide when a different item is selected.
