c8da70d6fa CmdPal: Replace assembly metadata attributes with preprocessor directives (#44707) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR replaces custom metadata attributes used to pass build-time
information with preprocessor directives. It appears that metadata can
be stripped from the final build output, even though it survived AOT in
earlier tests on the main and stable branches.

New preprocesor directives in Microsoft.CmdPal.UI:
- `BUILD_INFO_PUBLISH_AOT` - when `PublishAot` MSBuild parameter is
`true`
- `BUILD_INFO_PUBLISH_TRIMMED `- when `PublishTrimmed` MSBuild parameter
is `true`
- `BUILD_INFO_CIBUILD `- when `CIBuild` MSBuild parameter is `true`

Using preprocessor directives avoids this uncertainty and provides a
more reliable solution.

be90b587da CmdPal: Update Extension SDK classes to raise property change notifications only on change (#44547) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR introduces a new method  
`bool SetProperty<T>(ref T field, T value, [CallerMemberName] string?
propertyName = null)`
on `BaseObservable`.

The method updates the backing field only when the new value differs
from the current one and raises property change notifications only in
that case.

#### Summary

- Adds `SetProperty<T>` to `BaseObservable` to guard property change
notifications behind an actual value change.
- SDK API is not affected.
- Prevents unnecessary notifications from leaving the extension
boundary.
- Reduces redundant updates and saves a few round-trips between COM
objects and view models.
- Improves overall efficiency without changing observable behavior for
consumers.

b9de59ce64 Cmdpal: Peek command in indexer (#44581) 
<!-- 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
Add a peek command, so we could quickly view the files found by indexer

I’m aware that wiring the Peek command directly into the indexer
extension is fairly PowerToys-specific.
I’m open to suggestions if we think this should instead be handled via a
more general extension / plugin mechanism; if a broader framework is
planned, I’m happy to wait and revisit this once that structure is in
place.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
It was asked why this feature is needed at all, because it could be done
with snipping tool and just AoT that window as well. While this is true,
PowerToys goal always was to improve and speed up workflows. Instead of
capturing the screenshot, opening it, and then apply "Crop and Lock" or
"Always on Top" on the screenshots window, this PR aims to provide this
functionality in a single step.

Example use cases:
- _when I want to compare between two situations like previous output
result and current output result._ (#31799)
- _Allow cropping a section of a large code file (say top while working
at the bottom) as reference while working elsewhere in the file._
(#33071)
- _Can be useful for the work in the same document, like excel or word
where you are actively checking the data from the same document._
(#28633)
- _In lot's of older applications, if you need to get some information
or data from one dialog do another, but because of dialog modality it's
not possible to have both windows open at the same time._ (#33812)
- _nowadays quite a lot is happening inside the browser. Quite often, I
want to keep a small portion of the current website visible and switch
to e.g. the writing tool also running in a different tab in the same
browser window._ (#31799)


I've used win+ctrl+shift+s as the default activation shortcut, as it's
not yet used by other powertoys utilities, has similarity with the
normal win+shift+s shortcut hotkey and is consistent with the other Crop
and Lock shortcuts win+ctrl+shift+r (Reparent Mode) and win+ctrl+shift+t
(Thumbnail Mode).

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed

Compatibility tested manually with a large set of applications I have
installed on my computer. However, automated tests don't really make
sense as there is not much business logic which could be tested.

 ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
  Updated links in:
    - src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Settings/GeneralPage.xaml
    - src/modules/cmdpal/extensionsdk/README.md

Note: The issue proposes linking directly to “Command Palette /
Developer Docs / Extensibility overview” on
Learn. I noticed the project often uses fwlink/aka.ms redirects instead
of direct Learn URLs. If creating a
redirect is preferred (or if I can create one), let me know and I’ll
update the links accordingly.

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

  ## Validation Steps Performed
Manually verified that the links resolve to the Microsoft Learn Command
Palette extensibility overview.

f1e045751a CmdPal: Fallback ranking and global results (#43549) 
> [!IMPORTANT]
> For extension developers, this release includes a new required `string
Id` property for `FallbackCommandItem`. While your existing extensions
will continue to work, without this `Id` being set, your fallbacks will
not display and will not be rankable.
> Before this is released, you will want to prepare your extension
fallbacks.
> 
> As an example, we are naming our built-in extensions as:
> - Calculator extension provider Id:
`com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.calculator`
> - Calculator extension fallback:
`com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.calculator.fallback`
> 
> While the content of the Id isn't important, what is important is that
it is unique to your extension and fallback to avoid conflicting with
other extensions.

Now the good stuff:

## What the heck does it do!?

### The backstory

In PowerToys 0.95, we released performance improvements to Command
Palette. One of the many ways we improved its speed is by no longer
ranking fallback commands with other "top level" commands. Instead, all
fallbacks would surface at the bottom of the results and be listed in
the order they were registered with Command Palette. But this was only a
temporary solution until the work included in this pull request was
ready.

In reality, not all fallbacks were treated equally. We marked the
calculator and run fallbacks as "special." Special fallbacks **were**
ranked like top-level commands and allowed to surface to the top of the
results.

### The new "hotness"

This PR brings the power of fallback management back to the people. In
the Command Palette settings, you, dear user, can specify what order you
want fallbacks to display in at the bottom of the results. This keeps
those fallbacks unranked by Command Palette but displays them in an
order that makes sense for you. But keep in mind, these will still live
at the bottom of search results.

But alas, we have also heard your cries that you'd like _some_ fallbacks
to be ranked by Command Palette and surface to the top of the results.
So, this PR allows you to mark any fallback as "special" by choosing to
include them in the global results. Special (Global) fallbacks are
treated like "top level" commands and appear in the search result based
on their title & description.

2603efc8a9 Fix pipeline with waskd2 experimental version (#44357) 
<!-- 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 includes two main groups of changes: improvements to
build configuration (specifically, warning suppression for experimental
features), and refactoring in the `WrapPanelCustom` control to use the
correct `StretchChild` type from the CommunityToolkit. These updates
help streamline the build process and improve code clarity and
maintainability.

**Build configuration improvements:**

* Added `/p:IgnoreExperimentalWarnings=true` to the
`RestoreAdditionalProjectSourcesArg` in the build pipeline to enable
suppression of experimental warnings during project restore.
* Updated `Directory.Build.targets` to append specific warning codes
(`CS8305`, `SA1500`, `CA1852`) to the `NoWarn` property when
`IgnoreExperimentalWarnings` is set, suppressing these warnings during
builds.

**Refactoring in `WrapPanelCustom`:**

* Updated the `WrapPanel` control in `WrapPanel.cs` to use
`ToolkitStretchChild` from `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls` instead of
a local `StretchChild` type, ensuring consistency and leveraging the
toolkit's implementation.

## Summary of the Pull Request

This pull request modernizes NuGet package management for the
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions` native project by migrating from
the older `packages.config` approach to the newer `PackageReference`
style. It also updates the related project references and output
handling in the toolkit project. These changes simplify dependency
management and align with current best practices for native C++/WinRT
projects.

**NuGet package management modernization:**

* Migrated `Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.vcxproj` from
`packages.config` to `PackageReference` style, specifying dependencies
directly in the project file and removing the `packages.config` file.

* Removed legacy NuGet property groups, imports, and error-checking

automatically by `PackageReference`.

**Project reference and build output updates:**

* Updated the project reference in
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.Toolkit.csproj` to not reference
the output assembly directly, and added explicit inclusion and copying
of the native implementation DLL and WinMD files to the output
directory.

**Cleanup of unused files:**

* Removed `packages.config` from both the
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions` and `PowerRenameUILib` projects,
as dependencies are now managed via `PackageReference`.

Basically enable back: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/43920

the core change is adding this new Target to ensure when "building in

e13d6a78aa CmdPal: Set image to surface immediately in BlurImageControl (#44222) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR resolves issue when the background image is not loaded. When
loading an image, BlurImageControl now sets the image to the surface
immediately, as the LoadComplete handler is not guaranteed to be called.

73786cd2be CmdPal: Add drag & drop support (#44165) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds basic drag-and-drop support for items in list and grid
views.

It introduces two new properties on `ListItem`, backed by
`IExtendedAttributesProvider`: `DataPackage` and `DataPackageView`.
These properties are mutually exclusive.
`DataPackage` serves as a convenience property allowing the item to
retain the underlying object without risk of losing it. Across the
extension boundary, only the immutable `DataPackageView` snapshot is
transferred. When `DataPackage` is set, `DataPackageView` is derived
from it.

This PR includes initial concrete drag-and-drop implementations for:
- File Indexer  
- Clipboard History  

**Todo / Missing pieces** 
- [x] Extend `DataPackage` support to top-level command items, enabling
scenarios such as index fallback ~
- [x] Provide automatic drag-and-drop for unconfigured list items (e.g.,
copying title and subtitle as text)
- [x] Keep CmdPal open
- [ ] ~Clipboard commands (since we have the DataPackage...)~
- [ ] ~Improve logging~

## Pictures? Moving ones!

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Since `CollectionViewSource` was causing performance issues and
@zadjii-msft asked for a new approach, I came up with this idea, heavily
inspired by how separators work on the `ContextMenu`, `FiltersDropDown`
and `Details`.

The way this is currently working is: Any ListItem where `Section` is
not null and `Command` is null, is considered a Separator.

On my tests, this seems to be working fine. Tried to make this work
without changes to the API, but I think this needs to be discussed.

<!-- 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.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
The existing code:
1. Limits the number of apps returned to a pre-defined maximum.
2. Sorts the apps list.
3. Appends filtered items, scored fallback items and the apps list
together.
4. Sorts the three lists based on their score.
5. Appends the non-scored fallback items, with empty items excluded.
6. Selects just the `Item` from each.
7. Creates an array from the enumerable.

```csharp
    if (_filteredApps?.Count > 0)
    {
        limitedApps = _filteredApps.OrderByDescending(s => s.Score).Take(_appResultLimit).ToList();
    }

    var items = Enumerable.Empty<Scored<IListItem>>()
                          .Concat(_filteredItems is not null ? _filteredItems : [])
                          .Concat(_scoredFallbackItems is not null ? _scoredFallbackItems : [])
                          .Concat(limitedApps)
                          .OrderByDescending(o => o.Score)

                          // Add fallback items post-sort so they are always at the end of the list
                          // and eventually ordered based on user preference
                          .Concat(_fallbackItems is not null ? _fallbackItems.Where(w => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(w.Item.Title)) : [])
                          .Select(s => s.Item)
                          .ToArray();
```

We can exploit the fact that each of the three 'scored' lists are
pre-ordered, and replace the query with a 3-way merge and final append
of the non-scored fallback items.

By pre-sizing the results array we can avoid all the extra allocations
of the LINQ-based solution.

### Proof of pre-ordering
In `UpdateSearchText`, each of the lists is defined by calling
`ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores`:

```csharp
    // Produce a list of everything that matches the current filter.
    _filteredItems = [.. ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newFilteredItems ?? [], SearchText, scoreItem)];
```

```csharp
    _scoredFallbackItems = ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newFallbacksForScoring ?? [], SearchText, scoreItem);
```

```csharp
    var scoredApps = ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newApps, SearchText, scoreItem);

...

    _filteredApps = [.. scoredApps];
```

In `FilterListWithScores`, the results are ordered by score:

```csharp
   var scores = items
        .Select(li => new Scored<T>() { Item = li, Score = scoreFunction(query, li) })
        .Where(score => score.Score > 0)
        .OrderByDescending(score => score.Score);
```

(This also makes the existing `OrderByDescending()` for `_filteredApps`
before the LINQ query redundant.)

### K-way merge
Since the results are pre-sorted, we can do a direct merge in linear
time. This is what the new `MainListPageResultFactory`'s `Create`
achieves. As the lists may be different sizes, the routine does a 3-way
merge, followed by a 2-way merge and a single list drain to finish. Each
element is only visited once.

### Benchmarks
A separate benchmark project is
[here](https://github.com/daverayment/MainListBench), written with
Benchmark.net.

The project compares the current LINQ-based solution against:
1. An Array-based algorithm which pre-assigns a results array and still
sorts the 3 scored sets of results. This shows a naive non-LINQ solution
which is still _O(n log n)_ because of the sort.
2. The k-way merge, which is described above. _O(n)_ for both time and
space complexity.
3. A heap merge algorithm, which uses a priority queue instead of
tracking each of the lists separately. (This is _O(n log k)_ in terms of
time complexity and _O(n + k)_ for space.)

Care is taken to ensure stable sorting of items. When preparing the
benchmark data, items with identical scores are assigned to confirm each
algorithm performs identically to the LINQ `OrderBy` approach, which
performs a stable sort.

Results show that the merge performs best in terms of both runtime
performance and allocations, sometimes by a significant margin. Compared
to the LINQ approach, merge runs 400%+ faster and with at most ~20% of
the allocations:

### Cons

1. Existing performance is not currently an issue. This could be seen as
a premature optimisation.
2. The new code introduces an inherent contract between the results
compilation routine and the lists, i.e. that they must be sorted.

This PR was really for research and learning more about CmdPal (and a
bit of algorithm practice because it's Advent of Code time), so please
feel free to reject if you feel the cons outweigh the pros.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Added unit tests to exercise the new code, which confirm that the
specific ordering is preserved, and the filtering and pre-trimming of
the apps list is performed as before.
- Existing non-UI unit tests run. NB: I _could not_ run any UI Tests on
my system and just got an early bail-out each time.
- Manual testing in (non-AOT) Release mode.

I tested with AOT turned on.

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.

1ba5a258e9 CmdPal: Add custom search engine option to Web Search extension (#43941) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR allows user to customize a search query in Command Palette's Web
Search built-in extension. This will also solve a problem with some
browser that doesn't handle argument in form "? <query>" as it will
allow user to specify the complete URI.

- Introduces a new text box in Web Search extension settings for
specifying a custom search engine URI
- If the text box is non-empty, the provided URI is used for queries
- If left empty, the extension defaults to previous behavior, sending
queries in the format "? query"
