0f87b61dad CmdPal: Load pinned command items from anywhere (#45566) 
This doesn't actually have a UX to expose this yet - we need to stack a
couple of PRs up to get to that.

But this adds plumbing such that we can now stash away a command ID, and
retrieve it later as a top-level command. Kinda like pinning for apps,
but for _anything_.

It works off of a new command provider interface `ICommandProvider4`,
which lets us look up Command**Item**s by ID. If we see a command ID
stored in that command provider's settings, we will try to look it up,
and then load it from the command provider.

e.g.

```json
    "com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system": {
      "IsEnabled": true,
      "FallbackCommands": {
        "com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.fallback": {
          "IsEnabled": true,
          "IncludeInGlobalResults": true
        }
      },
      "PinnedCommandIds": [
        "com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.lock",
        "com.microsoft.cmdpal.builtin.system.restart_shell"
      ]
    },
```
will get us

/>

Then it's just a matter of plumbing the command provider ID through the
layers, so that the command item knows who it is from. We'll need that
later for actually wiring this to the command's context menu.

39bfa86335 CmdPal: Fixes and improve main window positioning (#45585) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves main window positioning:

- Fixes cases where an invalid window size or position was saved.  
- `UpdateWindowPositionInMemory` failed to capture correct values when
the window was minimized or maximized (for example, a minimized window
reports coordinates like `(-32000, -32000)`).
- Improves repositioning logic to use relative anchors (corners and
center). When switching displays, the window should reappear in the
expected position. This also reduces cases that trigger the failsafe
recentering.
- Fixes the dragging rectangle size after switching DPIs - the rectangle
was not adapting, so it when switching from 100 % to 200 % it covered
only left half of the window and had teeny-tiny height.
- Suppresses system DPI handling during summon to prevent double
scaling.
- Makes `WindowPosition` class immutable.
- Adds light-weight failsafe preventing overwriting position with
invalid data.
- Hotfixes a min/max state conflict with the WinUIEx window manager.

de25059de0 CmdPal: Fix starting new web URI for default browser that doesn't support exe arguments (#45614) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR changes the way the Web Search built-in extension handles full
URIs: it bypasses default browser discovery and asks the shell to open
the URI directly. The original execution path remains as a fallback and
for simple queries (when a custom search engine is not set).

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Updates `Common.Dotnet.CsWinRT.props` with a `CoreTargetFramework`
property. This is then used to form the actual `TargetFramework`
property. `Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder` was the original catalyst for
this PR since it doesn't need Windows SDK targeting, and it didn't make
sense to have one project by itself that would manually need its target
version updated.

e8165fc947 [ZoomIt] Fix ampersand typing bug and debug assertion failure (#43679) 
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes two typing-related issues in ZoomIt:
1. Ampersands could be typed even when Type Mode or Draw Mode were not
engaged
2. On Debug builds, typing a non-alphanumeric character in Type Mode
would crash ZoomIt with a CRT assertion failure

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

### Assertion failure on Debug builds

**Root Cause**

This occurred because of a combination of a type-coercion issue and the
use of `isprint()` in `WM_KEYDOWN`, which operates on virtual key codes,
not characters.

This is the code with the fault:

```cpp
    if( (g_TypeMode != TypeModeOff) && g_HaveTyped && static_cast<char>(wParam) != VK_UP && static_cast<char>(wParam) != VK_DOWN &&
        (isprint( static_cast<char>(wParam)) ||
        wParam == VK_RETURN || wParam == VK_DELETE || wParam == VK_BACK )) {
```

There are a few issues here:

1. There is no need for the `VK_UP` / `VK_DOWN` check. The block only
executes if `VK_RETURN`, `VK_DELETE` or `VK_BACK` are pressed, which
cannot be `VK_UP` or `VK_DOWN` by definition. This should be removed.
2. Casting the `wParam` to `char` means casting an unsigned int value to
a signed char. This works for alphanumeric characters, as the VK_-codes
correspond to their char counterparts. But it fails for values with
their high bit set, e.g. a hyphen:

- The virtual key code for the hyphen key is `VK_OEM_MINUS`, or `0xBD`
- `0xBD` (10111101) becomes `-67` when cast to a char
- In Debug builds, a call to `isprint()` includes a range check to
ensure the value is in the range 1 to 255. A negative value trips this
assertion.

3. The casts are not needed.

**Fix**
Remove both the `isprint()` call (the WM_CHAR handler has an
`iswprint()` check) and remove the check against `VK_UP` and `VK_DOWN`.

### Ampersand issue

This is a simple operator precedence issue with this statement:

```cpp
if ((g_TypeMode != TypeModeOff) && iswprint(static_cast<TCHAR>(wParam)) || 
    (static_cast<TCHAR>(wParam) == L'&'))
```

The intention is to continue if one of the Type Modes is engaged (either
left-to-right or right-to-left) and either the typed character is
printable or (a special-case) the ampersand (presumably for legacy
issues when `DT_NOPREFIX` was not present on all draw text calls).

Unfortunately, the parentheses are placed incorrectly, resulting in the
expression actually being:

`if (Type Mode is active AND a printable character was pressed) OR
(Ampersand was pressed)`

(Meaning the code will always execute if ampersand is pressed regardless
of the mode.)

**Fix**
Correcting the placement of the parentheses fixes the issue.

Note: I think `DT_NOPREFIX` exists on all `DrawText()` calls which
render characters, so we could potentially remove the ampersand check
entirely in the future, assuming that was the original issue which
required the special casing.

## Validation Steps Performed
- Ensure ampersand does not result in the character appearing and/or
glitches occurring where the cursor is when Type Mode or Draw Mode are
not active.
- Ensure ampersands may still be typed as normal in Type Mode.
- Confirm that non-alphanumeric characters can be typed without issue in
Type Mode on both Debug and Release builds.
- Test draw operations in combination with text notes.
- Test backspace, return and delete keys in Type Mode.
- Test that Type Mode engages repeatedly and can be exited.

<!-- 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 introduces an "artifact-based" mode for consuming the
Windows App SDK in CI pipelines, allowing builds to use NuGet packages
directly from Azure DevOps pipeline artifacts instead of public/internal
feeds. This is achieved by adding new parameters and logic to pipeline
YAML and PowerShell scripts, supporting scenarios where packages are not
yet published to a feed. The changes also improve robustness when
updating package versions and add documentation for authentication
requirements.

These changes make the pipeline more flexible and robust, enabling
builds to consume unreleased or pre-release packages directly from CI
artifacts, which is especially useful for testing and validation
scenarios.

75bf64299d Creating a Common.UI.Controls lib (#45542) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

@jiripolasek FYI

This PR creates a new `Common.UI.Controls` library that contains shared
WinUI controls. We have been copying code manually between CmdPal and
Settings, and now with the new KBM we will run into the same issue.

This lib has shared controls projects can add to their proj so we have a
single source of truth.

795c64cc72 CmdPal: Manually iterate package metadata tags to prevent exceptions (#45502) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR fixes an error that occurred when reading tags for the selected
package in WinGet extensions when AOTed. The issue was caused by using
LINQ over a WinRT proxy; this has been replaced with manual iteration
over the collection to avoid the failure.

The exception is now caught and logged as a warning by #44757.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Modeled the changes and addition of a global shortcut using the Color
Picker module.

Notes:
- This uses `KeyboardManagerSettings` and the associated .json settings
file. I don't think there's anything else in this module that uses this.
- The default key binding for this is `winkey + shift + k`
- I've had to update the `KeyboardManagerViewModel` to extend
`PageViewModelBase` as opposed to `Observable` to get it to work. But I
will say that there were some things in here that I didn't fully dig
into, so let me know if there's any potential things I'm missing.
- I'm not too sure how to update the Settings UI after a hotkey is
pressed (pressing the hotkey currently will not show the module being
toggled off) - can't find a good way to refresh the settings ui after
enabling/disabling the module. Any pointers here would be appreciated!



## Validation Steps Performed
- Manually validated the following items:
  - Using the default shortcut (`winkey + shift + k`)
  - Changing the shortcut
  - Ensuring the change is persistent

587385d879 [Settings] Implement singleton pattern for ShortcutConflictWindow (#42440) 
## Summary
Fixes issue where multiple ShortcutConflictWindow instances could be
opened simultaneously. The window now follows the same singleton pattern
as OobeWindow - only one instance can exist at a time, and attempting to
open another brings the existing window to the foreground.

## Changes
Implemented singleton management for `ShortcutConflictWindow` following
the established pattern used by `OobeWindow`:

### App.xaml.cs
- Added static field to store the singleton window instance
- Added `GetShortcutConflictWindow()`, `SetShortcutConflictWindow()`,
and `ClearShortcutConflictWindow()` methods for lifecycle management

### ShortcutConflictWindow.xaml.cs
- Updated `WindowEx_Closed` event handler to call
`App.ClearShortcutConflictWindow()` to properly clean up the singleton
reference when the window is closed

### Updated all three entry points that create ShortcutConflictWindow:
- **ShortcutConflictControl.xaml.cs** (Dashboard conflict warning)
- **ShortcutControl.xaml.cs** (Settings page shortcut controls)
- **OobeOverview.xaml.cs** (OOBE overview page)

Each location now checks if a window already exists using
`App.GetShortcutConflictWindow()`:
- If no window exists, creates a new one and registers it via
`App.SetShortcutConflictWindow()`
- If a window already exists, simply calls `Activate()` to bring it to
the foreground

## Testing
The fix ensures that:
- ✅ Only one ShortcutConflictWindow can be open at a time
- ✅ Clicking the shortcut conflict button when a window is already open
activates the existing window instead of creating a duplicate
- ✅ The window reference is properly cleared when closed, allowing a new
instance to be created in future interactions

09bdbfac38 build(updating): Add WinRT coroutine support and refactor async methods (#45522) 
## Summary of the Pull Request  
There are many build warnings now with like "cl : command line warning
D9047: option 'await' has been deprecated and will be re moved in a
future release." after we update to VS2026.

Introduce WinRT coroutine support by replacing `std::future` with
`IAsyncOperation` for asynchronous methods. Adjust output directories
and remove the `/await` option from project files to streamline the
build process. Update methods to utilize `std::expected` and `co_await`,
enhancing the async handling of version checks and downloads.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments  
Refactor async methods to improve performance and compatibility with
WinRT. The changes include modifying the return types of several
functions in the `updating` namespace, specifically
`uninstall_previous_msix_version_async`,
`get_github_version_info_async`, and `download_new_version_async`.

## Validation Steps Performed  
Manual testing was conducted to ensure that the new async methods
function correctly and that the application behaves as expected during
version checks and downloads. Automated tests were updated to cover the
new coroutine implementations.

3b874a9567 CmdPal: Port the devhome perf widgets to cmdpal (#45217) 
Pretty direct port of the code, to prove it works.

There's definitely some improvement to be made here, esp WRT to the
network and GPU listing - networks should all just be listed. Or at
least automatically track the active one. And GPU should aggregate a
bunch of stats.

And we can probably add the details to these list items.

But most importantly, _it works_.

521d34f1eb CmdPal: Add a button to toggle the visibility of the dev ribbon (#45379) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds an option to toggle visibility of the dev ribbon. The state
is only temporary and does not persist across app runs -- that is
intentional to prevent the dev from turning it off permanently.

4959273875 CmdPal: Prevent the main window from stealing focus (#45309) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR adds two fixes to prevent Command Palette’s main window from
stealing focus while or after it is being hidden.

1) GoBack was not forwarding the withAnimation and focusSearch
parameters when chaining to GoHome.

2) Page focus after load can be triggered too late—when the window is
already hidden—causing CmdPal to regain focus unexpectedly.

7477b561a1 CmdPal: Add precomputed fuzzy string matching to Command Palette (#44090) 
## Summary of the Pull Request

This PR improves fuzzy matching in Command Palette by:
- Precomputing normalized strings to enable faster comparisons
- Reducing memory allocations during matching, effectively down to zero

It also introduces several behavioral improvements:
- Strips diacritics from the normalized search string to improve
matching across languages
- Suppresses the same-case bonus when the query consists entirely of
lowercase characters -- reflecting typical user input patterns
- Allows skipping word separators -- enabling queries like Power Point
to match PowerPoint

This implementation is currently kept internal and is used only on the
home page. For other scenarios, the `FuzzyStringMatcher` from
`Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.Toolkit` is being improved instead.

`PrecomputedFuzzyMatcher` offers up to a 100× performance improvement
over the current `FuzzyStringMatcher`, and approximately 2–5× better
performance compared to the improved version.

The improvement might seem small, but it adds up and becomes quite
noticeable when filtering the entire home page—whether the user starts a
new search or changes the query non-incrementally (e.g., using
backspace).

914f2281c3 feat(advancedpaste): add auto-copy selection for custom action hotkeys (#44767) 
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it

-->
## Summary of the Pull Request
Boosting productivity #2x. Customer mentioned with Custom Action
(Shortcut trigger) "We should not need to do two keyboard actions to
finish this awesome AI data transformation, instead, just single
shortcut should do copy + advanced paste."

This pull request introduces a new feature to the Advanced Paste module
that allows users to automatically copy the current selection when
triggering a custom action hotkey. The changes include backend logic for
sending the copy command, updates to configuration and settings
management, and UI additions to expose this option to users.

### Feature Addition: Auto-Copy Selection for Custom Action Hotkeys

* Added a new boolean setting, `AutoCopySelectionForCustomActionHotkey`,
to both the backend (`dllmain.cpp`, `AdvancedPasteProperties.cs`) and
the settings UI, allowing users to enable or disable automatic copying
of the current selection when a custom action hotkey is pressed.

### Backend Logic and Integration

* Implemented the `send_copy_selection()` and `try_send_copy_message()`
methods in `dllmain.cpp` to send a WM_COPY message or simulate a Ctrl+C
keystroke, ensuring the selected content is copied before executing the
custom action.
* Integrated the new setting into the hotkey handler logic so that when
a custom action hotkey is pressed and the setting is enabled, the copy
operation is triggered before running the custom action.

### Configuration and State Management

* Updated serialization/deserialization and property synchronization
logic to support the new setting, ensuring its value is correctly
loaded, saved, and reflected in the UI and runtime behavior.

### UI and Localization

* Added a new checkbox to the Advanced Paste settings page in XAML to
allow users to toggle the auto-copy feature.
* Provided localized strings for the new setting, including header and
description, in the resource file for user clarity.

### Refactoring for Hotkey Logic

* Refactored hotkey handling code to correctly calculate indices for
additional and custom actions, supporting the new auto-copy logic and
improving code clarity.
