08a3ae2dee Enable "Space" only to activate Peek (#41867) 
<!-- 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

Closes: #26143

This pull request introduces a new "single Space key activation" mode
for the Peek PowerToy, allowing users to open Peek with just the Space
key when File Explorer or the Desktop is focused. The implementation
includes settings UI changes, backend logic to enforce and manage this
mode, eligibility checks for activation, and telemetry. It also enhances
the user experience by disabling the activation shortcut control when
space mode is enabled and providing appropriate tooltips and
localization.

**Key changes:**

### Feature: Single Space Key Activation Mode

* Added a new setting (`EnableSpaceToActivate`) to allow users to enable
Peek activation using only the Space key, restricted to File Explorer or
Desktop focus. When enabled, the activation shortcut is forced to bare
Space and the previous shortcut is stashed (not restored on toggle-off
for simplicity). (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`,

shortcut programmatically are ignored while in this mode.

/>

### Activation Logic & Eligibility

* Implemented a foreground window hook and debounce logic to determine
if Peek can be activated by Space (only when File Explorer, Desktop, or
Peek itself is focused). This minimizes CPU overhead when user
repeatedly presses Space but not for Peek .
(`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`)
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-ac3987a14b7c287a047f57613d97a78265f0dcef56084fb5361021953328b039R50-R60)

* Managed hook installation and cleanup based on Peek's enabled state
and the space mode toggle. (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`)

### Settings & Telemetry

* Added the new toggle to the settings serialization and XAML UI, with
localization and descriptions. (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`,
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/SettingsXAML/Views/PeekPage.xaml`,
`src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`)

* Added telemetry event for enabling/disabling space mode.
(`src/modules/peek/peek/trace.cpp`, `src/modules/peek/peek/trace.h`)
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-db76a3e6fa1cc19889492b72d0c063835bdc8f67909cb9d91c9e7e47e248a87aR51-R60)

### Code Quality

* Refactored includes and initialization logic for clarity and
maintainability. (`src/modules/peek/peek/dllmain.cpp`)
[[1]](diffhunk://#diff-ac3987a14b7c287a047f57613d97a78265f0dcef56084fb5361021953328b039L2-R14)

These changes collectively provide a safer, more accessible, and
user-friendly way to activate Peek with a single key, while ensuring
users are clearly informed and accidental activations are minimized.

4dab8e1eaa Removing custom SubtleButton-styles (#41900) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

We have migrated `SubtleButtonStyle` to Windows App SDK, so now that we
migrated to 1.8 we no longer need custom implementations and can just
refer to the built-in styles.

This PR:
- Removed custom SubtleButton styles
- Added the style to the pin button in Peek so it's more inline with the
Photos app design

<!-- 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 updates the `BuildXamlIndexBeforeSettings` target to avoid
running during DesignTimeBuild.
Previously, the target was triggered before `CoreCompile`, which caused
Visual Studio design-time builds to also invoke
`Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder`.
In design-time builds, the subproject may not fully inherit the central
package version management configuration (e.g.,
`Directory.Packages.props` not included, or incomplete MSBuild property
propagation).
As a result, NuGet central package version management did not fully
apply in design-time context, leading to false error such as:

cb79a00aeb Add the first copilot-instructions.md (#41518) 
This pull request introduces concise, area-specific contributor guides
for the PowerToys repository. Each major code area now has its own
instructions file, clarifying scope, coding guidelines, and acceptance
criteria. This helps ensure consistency, reduces onboarding friction,
and sets clear expectations for contributors.
Reference doc:
https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/configure-custom-instructions/add-repository-instructions

New contributor guides added:

**General/Top-level guidance**
- Added `.github/copilot-instructions.md` as a concise, top-level guide
for AI-driven changes, including a repo map, build/test workflow, PR
expectations, and quick reference checklists.

**Area-specific instructions**
- Added `src/common/common.instructions.md` for shared libraries,
covering ABI stability, logging, performance, and dependency policies.
- Added `src/runner/runner.instructions.md` for the Runner/tray host,
detailing module management, IPC contract alignment, startup
performance, and elevation/update logic.
- Added `src/settings-ui/settings-ui.instructions.md` for the Settings
UI, with guidance on schema changes, IPC contract sync, UI
responsiveness, and style reuse.

3882db4479 [UI tests] Add accessibility IDs to settings navigation items and fix part of FancyZones issues (#41458) 
<!-- 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 pull request adds automation-friendly identifiers to navigation and
toggle UI elements throughout the PowerToys Settings. The main goal is
to improve UI test reliability and maintainability by using stable
`AutomationId` and `x:Name` attributes instead of relying on visible
text. It also updates the UI tests to use these new identifiers.

These changes make the UI automation more robust against localization
and UI text changes, improving test reliability and maintainability.

ef6f4b2c3d Settings: Search fancy zone settings and swallow the ctrl+f event (#41437) 
<!-- 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 pull request primarily improves the maintainability and robustness
of the FancyZones settings UI by assigning unique `Name` attributes to
`SettingsCard` controls in the `FancyZonesPage.xaml` file. Additionally,
it enhances the logic for retrieving element UIDs and improves fallback
behavior for missing localizations. There is also a minor usability fix
in the shell page to prevent unintended navigation when focusing the
search box.

**FancyZones settings UI improvements:**

* Added unique `Name` attributes to all `tkcontrols:SettingsCard`
elements in `FancyZonesPage.xaml` to facilitate easier referencing and
future maintainability. This affects all relevant settings groups and
controls in the file.

**Element UID retrieval and localization:**

* Improved `GetElementUid` in `Program.cs` to fall back to the first
child's `x:Uid` if the element itself lacks one, increasing robustness
when parsing XAML.
* Updated `GetLocalizedSettingHeaderAndD` in `SearchIndexService.cs` to
provide a fallback for missing localizations by trying the
`"{elementUid}/Content"` resource key.

**Shell page usability:**

* Modified `CtrlF_Invoked` in `ShellPage.xaml.cs` to mark the event as
handled, preventing unintended navigation when the search box is focused
with Ctrl+F.

- Reverts related entries in `exclude.txt` that triggered a forbidden
pattern error in the spell checker.
- The spell checker does not allow PascalCase words like
`NavigatablePage` in `exclude.txt` because of its automatic casing
rules.

2d35fd8530 [Fix] Adding Toolkit's TitleBar manually (#41383) 
Temp fix for a VS bug when building the `PowerToys.Settings` project. 

There seems to be something wrong with the Labs TitleBar package, so
following up with the team to get it resolved. Meanwhile, I've moved the
Toolkit's source code for TitleBar to Settings as a custom control.

Once the package is fixed we can revert this change.

## AI summary
This pull request introduces infrastructure and code to support search
functionality for PowerToys settings, including a new search index
specification, a dedicated search library, and updates to the solution
configuration. The main changes are the addition of a spec describing
how settings should be indexed and navigated, the creation of a new
`Common.Search` project with a fuzz search implementation, and updates
to the solution file to include these new components.

**Settings Search Feature Implementation**

* Documentation:
* Added a detailed specification (`settings-search.md`) describing the
structure of PowerToys settings pages, how to index settings, navigation
logic, runtime search, result grouping, build-time indexing strategy,
and corner cases.

* New Search Library:
* Added the new `Common.Search` project to the solution, including its
project file and implementation of a fuzz search service
(`FuzzSearchService<T>`), match options, match results, and search
precision scoring.

* Solution Configuration:
* Updated `PowerToys.sln` to include `Common.Search` and
`Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder` projects, and configured their build
settings for various platforms and mapped project dependencies.

**Spell-check Dictionary Updates**

* Added new terms related to navigation and settings UI components (such
as `Navigatable`, `NavigatablePage`, `settingscard`, `Tru`, `tweakable`)
to the spell-check dictionary to support the new search and indexing
features.

9c285856bf [UI tests] Add accessibility IDs to FancyZones to fix part UI tests (#41316) 
<!-- 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
Not sure why some text changed — for example, this button was ‘Launch
layout editor’, but in the UI it now shows as ‘Open layout editor’, so
it can’t be found :
<img width="1159" height="87" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d407a8fc-2876-4a85-9637-14d5923493d2"
/>

But using accessibility IDs is always more reliable.

d90575b8da feat(MouseWithoutBorders): Prevent Easy Mouse from moving to another machine when an application is running in fullscreen mode. (#39854) 
<!-- 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 adds a new feature to Easy Mouse, it is now possible to toggle a
setting that will prevent Easy Mouse to switch away from the host
machine when the foreground application is running in full screen mode,
requiring the user to first alt tab out of the application before
performing the switch, this also comes with a way to allow the switch on
specific apps.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

This PR changes the way Easy Mouse checks wherever it should move to
another machine, after checking that the corresponding setting is
enabled and that we are trying to move away from the host machine, it
will run a test using native WinAPI methods to get the foreground window
and check if it is running in full screen.

If it is, it will then check the name of the executable against a list
of ignored app configured by the user, if the executable is found in
that list, the switch will be allowed despite the application running in
full screen.

These new settings were moved along with the original Easy Mouse toggle
to a new "Easy Mouse" setting group to avoid cluttering the Keyboard
shortcuts group.

This feature will only work when used from the controller machine, as I
didn't find a way to easily check for running application on a remote
machine that didn't involved touching the sockets, I felt like such a
change would be out of scope for this issue.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests

## Validation Steps Performed

I had a hard time writing tests and didn't achieve anything meaningful
enough to be included, I may require some guidance on how to properly
write tests for this project.

I tested my changes by running my modified version of
MouseWithoutBorders on my machines, which I did for a few days now, It
allowed me to catch a few bugs, but it has been running smoothly
otherwise.

My changes didn't seemed to have caused any automated tests to fail.

It may require some additional testing for setups including more than
two machines.

efc68bc0c9 Fix Spanish localization for Awake module name and all product name instances (#41252) 
The Awake module name was being incorrectly translated to "Activo" in
Spanish localization, while it should remain as "Awake" (similar to how
"Text Extractor" remains untranslated).

**Issue:**
In the Spanish version of PowerToys Settings, the Awake module was
appearing as "Activo" instead of "Awake". This is inconsistent with
other module names like "Text Extractor" that remain in English.

**Root Cause:**
The localization system was translating strings that had generic
comments like "Product name: Navigation view item name for Awake".
Strings without comments or with specific "do not localize" comments are
preserved in their original language.

**Solution:**
Updated the resource file comments for all Awake-related strings to
include explicit localization prevention instructions:

1. Changed `Shell_Awake.Content` comment from "Product name: Navigation
view item name for Awake" to "Awake is a product name, do not localize"
2. Added "Awake is a product name, do not localize" comment to
`Awake.ModuleTitle` which previously had no comment
3. Added "Awake is a product name, do not localize" comment to OOBE (Out
of Box Experience) strings:
   - `Oobe_Awake.Description`
   - `Oobe_Awake_HowToUse.Text`
   - `Oobe_Awake_TipsAndTricks.Text`
4. Added "Awake is a product name, do not localize" comment to
`Awake_ModeSettingsCard.Description`

These changes follow the same pattern used by other PowerToys modules
(PowerRename, PowerToys Run, Shortcut Guide, etc.) to prevent
translation of product names across all user-facing contexts including
settings, navigation, and onboarding flows.

**Files Changed:**
- `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`

Fixes #41199.

df08d98a81 Implement "Gliding cursor" accessibility feature (#41221) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
Added '[Gliding
Cursor](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/37097)'
functionality to Mouse Pointer Crosshairs, this enables a single
hotkey/Microsoft Adaptive Hub + button to control cursor movement and
clicking. This is implemented as an extension to the existing Mouse
Pointer Crosshairs module.

Testing has been manual, ensuring that the existing Mouse Pointer
Crosshairs functionality is unchanged, and that the new Gliding Cursor
functionality works alongside Mouse Pointer Crosshairs.


![FlowPointer2](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ede40fe5-d749-45d1-bd8d-627dda2927a3)

<img width="857" height="438" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b9e7ee72-dfeb-4d20-93a5-a34e8b10d703"
/>


To test this functionality:
- Open Mouse Crosshair settings and make sure the feature is enabled.
- Press the shortcut to start the gliding cursor — a vertical line
appears.
- Press the shortcut again to slow the vertical line.
- Press once more to fix the vertical line; a horizontal line begins
moving.
- Press again to slow the horizontal line.
- When the lines meet at your target, press the shortcut to perform the
click.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The PR includes these changes:
* Updated Mouse Pointer Crosshairs XAML to include a new hotkey to start
the gliding cursor experience
* Added two sliders for fast/slow cursor movement
* mapped the new hotkey/XAML sliders through to the existing
MousePointerHotkeys project, dllmain.cpp
* Added a 10ms tick for Gliding cursor for crosshairs/cursor movement
* Added state for gliding functionality - horiz fast, horiz slow, vert
fast, vert slow, click
* added gates around the existing mouse movement hook to prevent mouse
movement when gliding


## Validation Steps Performed
Manual testing has been completed on several PCs to confirm the
following:
* Existing Mouse Pointer Crosshairs functionality is unchanged
* Gliding cursor settings are persisted/used by the gliding cursor code
* Gliding cursor restores Mouse Pointer Crosshairs state after the final
click has completed.

d72e0ab20d Fixed toggle switch not working issue. (#41049) 
<!-- 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
Fixed toggle switch not working issue.

## AI Summary
This pull request refactors how `DashboardListItem` objects are created
and added to collections in the `DashboardViewModel`. The main
improvement is to separate the instantiation of each `DashboardListItem`
from the assignment of its `EnabledChangedCallback` property, which is
now set after the object is added to the relevant collection. This
change improves clarity and may help prevent issues related to object
initialization order.

Refactoring of `DashboardListItem` creation and initialization:

* In the `AddDashboardListItem` method, the `DashboardListItem` object
is now created and added to `AllModules` before its
`EnabledChangedCallback` property is set, instead of setting this
property during object initialization.
* In the `GetShortcutModules` method, both `ShortcutModules` and
`ActionModules` collections now receive `DashboardListItem` objects that
are instantiated first, added to the collection, and then have their
`EnabledChangedCallback` property set. This replaces the previous
pattern of setting the callback during object creation.

c91bef1517 [UX] New dashboard & refactored KeyVisual (#40214) 
### Updated `KeyVisual` and `Shortcut` control
- Refactoring `KeyVisual` to remove redundant properties and UI
elements, and using Styles for better customization.
- Shortcut control now shows a "Configure shortcut" label when there's
no shortcut configured.

### Other changes
- Consolidated converters that were used across pages in `App.xaml.cs`
with consistent naming.
- Renamed templated controls (from `.cs` to `.xaml.cs`) and moving those
to the `Controls` root folder vs. individual folders for a better
overview.

bf16e10baf Updates for check-spelling v0.0.25 (#40386) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

- #39572 updated check-spelling but ignored:
   > 🐣 Breaking Changes
[Code Scanning action requires a Code Scanning
Ruleset](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Breaking-Change:-Code-Scanning-action-requires-a-Code-Scanning-Ruleset)
If you use SARIF reporting, then instead of the workflow yielding an ❌
when it fails, it will rely on [github-advanced-security
🤖](https://github.com/apps/github-advanced-security) to report the
failure. You will need to adjust your checks for PRs.

This means that check-spelling hasn't been properly doing its job 😦.

I'm sorry, I should have pushed a thing to this repo earlier,...

Anyway, as with most refreshes, this comes with a number of fixes, some
are fixes for typos that snuck in before the 0.0.25 upgrade, some are
for things that snuck in after, some are based on new rules in
spell-check-this, and some are hand written patterns based on running
through this repository a few times.

About the 🐣 **breaking change**: someone needs to create a ruleset for
this repository (see [Code Scanning action requires a Code Scanning
Ruleset: Sample ruleset

](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Breaking-Change:-Code-Scanning-action-requires-a-Code-Scanning-Ruleset#sample-ruleset)).

The alternative to adding a ruleset is to change the condition to not
use sarif for this repository. In general, I think the github
integration from sarif is prettier/more helpful, so I think that it's
the better choice.

You can see an example of it working in:
- https://github.com/check-spelling-sandbox/PowerToys/pull/23

## Summary of the Pull Request

- I asked Copilot nicely to rewrite some of our strings to be inline
with the Windows writing style guide and to be less verbose or provide a
better explaination.
- Since the Sound expander on the Always on Top page had a single
setting, turning that into a card.

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

-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Telemetry.write will serialize all of the whole object graph. So we need
to ensure it will not be trimmed.

This is a safe PR because it doesn't apply any logic change. If you
disable the AOT feature, this PR won't take any effect.

c83be3e74c User/yeelam/dpi fix (#40079) 
<!-- 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 updates all application manifest files across the PowerToys
codebase to use **PerMonitorV2** DPI awareness, ensuring optimal
high-DPI display support on modern Windows systems.
## Changes Made

Updated **12 manifest files** to include proper PerMonitorV2 DPI
awareness:

### Files with New DPI Support Added:
- `src/runner/PowerToys.exe.manifest` - Added complete DPI awareness
section
- `src/modules/awake/Awake/app.manifest` - Upgraded from basic
`dpiAware` to PerMonitorV2

### Files Upgraded from PerMonitor to PerMonitorV2:
- `src/modules/colorPicker/ColorPickerUI/App.manifest`
- `src/modules/MouseWithoutBorders/App/MouseWithoutBorders.exe.manifest`

### Files Enhanced for Consistency:
- `src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.exe.manifest`
- `src/modules/ZoomIt/ZoomIt/Zoomit.exe.manifest` 
- All 5 cmdpal extension manifests

## Technical Implementation

All manifests now use the standardized format that provides:
1. **PerMonitorV2** as the primary DPI awareness mode for Windows 10
Anniversary Update and later
3. **`true/PM`** for backward compatibility with pre-Windows 10 systems

```xml
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
  <windowsSettings>
    <dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">true/PM</dpiAware>
    <dpiAwareness xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor</dpiAwareness>
  </windowsSettings>
</application>
```

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
![Screenshot of the
settings](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3e1349b-6bb9-4e2f-97f3-a5106a7d92ce)
Adds option to choose from 3 click behaviors for each standard mouse
button:
* **Pick color and open editor**: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to
the color history and opens the editor
* **Pick color and close**: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to the
color history and exits
* **Close**: Closes color picker without copying the color

Pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Space</kbd> does what clicking the
primary button would.
Left and middle click actions execute on mouse down, right click on
mouse up for reasons discussed previously (I can't find the conversation
now)
Default settings are chosen in such a way that very little or nothing
changes by updating.
## Validation Steps Performed
Tested:
* Migrating settings from v2.0 to v2.1 (v1 to v2.1 not tested)
* Settings page displays and saves settings correctly
* Default settings load correctly
* All three click actions do what they are supposed to
* Activation behavior works as expected, doesn't affect click actions
