_We already fixed one leak, yes, but what about second leak?_
We already clean up `ListItemViewModel`s for a page when the page is
navigated away from. However, if the page updates it's items, we would
never actually `Cleanup` the old items. We'd just lose them, and never
unregister their event handlers. The objects would just leak forever.
This builds on the work in #41166, to do two things:
* Cleanup items that were removed from our list, when we actually update
`Items`. This involved a change to `Toolkit.ListHelpers`, to let us know
which items were removed from the list during `InPlaceUpdateList`
* Cleanup items that are thrown out when we cancel a FetchItems. Those
items were constructed, and might have registered event handlers, even
if we never actually put them into `Items`.
_Targets #41166_
Closes#39837
Tested with the evil sample from #41158, and loading thousands and
thousands of items no longer causes us to leak memory like we're
Deepwater Horizon.
What the title says. 😄
Rather than relying on the potentially overloaded `!=` or `==` operators
when checking for null, now we'll use the `is` expression (possibly
combined with the `not` operator) to ensure correct checking. Probably
overkill for many of these classes, but decided to err on the side of
consistency. Would matter more on classes that may be inherited or
extended.
Using `is` and `is not` will provide us a guarantee that no
user-overloaded equality operators (`==`/`!=`) is invoked when a
`expression is null` is evaluated.
In code form, changed all instances of:
```c#
something != null
something == null
```
to:
```c#
something is not null
something is null
```
The one exception was checking null on a `KeyChord`. `KeyChord` is a
struct which is never null so VS will raise an error when trying this
versus just providing a warning when using `keyChord != null`. In
reality, we shouldn't do this check because it can't ever be null. In
the case of a `KeyChord` it **would** be a `KeyChord` equivalent to:
```c#
KeyChord keyChord = new ()
{
Modifiers = 0,
Vkey = 0,
ScanCode = 0
};
```
related to some #40113 work
The extension SDK shouldn't rely on a preview version of the Windows
SDK. It should use the stable one.
Also moves some messages around that we didn't need
After #39955, the "exe" items from the shell commands only ever have the
"Run{as admin, as other user}" commands. This adds the rest of the
"file" commands - copy path, open in explorer, etc.
This shuffles around some commands into the toolkit and common commands
project to make this easier.

_⚠️ targets #40427_
This is a different approach to #39059 that I was thinking about like a
month ago. It builds on the work from the rejuv'd run page (#39955) to
process the bookmark as an exe/path/url automatically.
I need to cross-check this with #39059 - I haven't cached that back in
since I got back from leave. I remember thinking that I wanted to try
this approach, but wasn't sure if it was right. More than anything, I
want to get it off my local PC and out for discussion
* We don't need to manually store the type anymore.
* breaking change: paths with a space do need to be wrapped in spaces

This adds history support to the new run page.
* It'll initialize the history with the history from the run dialog, if
there is any.
* Any new commands that are run, or files/dirs that are opened will also
get added to the history
* history will persist across reboots
This adds settings to each provider to allow us to control if individual
fallback items are enabled or not, regardless of the provider being
enabled.
This is relevant to _all the threads where disabling fallback commands
came up_
This just adds another section to each provider's settings page, with a
list of the fallback commands.
This also has nothing to do with the "top-level apps search", which is
not really a fallback command - it's its own thing.
Ref #38288. Doesn't close that, because this only controls
enable/disable, not ranking.
From here, we should be able to add a dedicated page in the SUI that
shows all the fallbacks across all providers. That's where we'll enable
the ordering.
Refactored ContextMenu into it's own control to allow displaying in
CommandBar and in response to right click on list items.
- Adds "critical" styling to context menu items flagged as `IsCritical`.
This will use the theme to style with correct color.
- Added `SeparatorContextItem` and modified `MoreCommands` to allow for
both `CommandContextItem`s and `SeparatorContextItem`s.
- Right clicking a list item with a context menu will open the context
menu at the position of the click and position the filter box at the top
of the context menu.

## Summary of the Pull Request
found this bad link, fixing it to help others
## Validation Steps Performed
Used markdown preview in VSCode, clicked the link, it works!
Strong-name signing embeds publisher identity into the signature of a
.NET assembly.
This is required if *any other* strong name signed project wants to take
a dependency on it.
To make this work, we need to delay-sign it with a public key (.snk
file)--e.g. say we are going to sign it, but not actually sign it--to
give it an identity and then later submit it to ESRP for final signing.
The snk file does not contain any private material.
Some minor changes were required to build properly:
- `InternalsVisibleTo` requires a PublicKeyToken, but we aren't using
it in the SDK build so it's fine to just leave it out.
- I had to mark a class `sealed` and I can only guess it's because
strong named assemblies have more guarantees?
This pull request adopts the unified versioning scheme used by Windows Terminal, Notepad, and hundreds of other internal and public projects that relied on "XES" or "PackageES".
It only does so for the command palette.
All command palette assets will be versioned according to the Major and Minor number in `src/modules/cmdpal/custom.props`. This includes DLLs, EXEs, NuGet packages and MSIX bundles.
This will ensure that all artifacts that we produce are versioned
properly:
| thing | version (ex.) |
|---------|-----------------|
| dll/exe | 0.2.2505.08001 |
| nupkg | 0.2.250508001 |
| appx | 0.2.3269.0 |
For reference, here's the version format:
### EXE, DLL, .NET Assembly
0.2.2505.08001
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | `-Build # on that date
| | | | `-Day
| | | `-Month
| | `-Year
| `-Minor
`-Major
### NuGet Package
0.2.250508001
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| | | | | `-Build # on that date
| | | | `-Day
| | | `-Month
| | `-Year
| `-Minor
`-Major
### AppX Package
0.2.01281.0 (the leading 0 will be removed)
^ ^ ^ ^^ ^
| | | || `-Contractually always zero (a waste)
| | | |`-Build # on that date
| | | `-Number of days in [base year]
| | `-Number of years since [base year]
| `-Minor
`-Major
[base year] = $(XesBaseYearForStoreVersion)
It is expected that the base year is changed every time the version
number is changed.

_targets #38573_
At first I just wanted to add support for nested context menus.
But then I also had to add a search box, so the focus wouldn't get weird.
End result:

This gets rid of the need to have the search box and the command bar both track item keybindings - now it's just in the command bar.
Closes#38299Closes#38442
* [x] Re-adds the context menu shortcut text
* [x] Hooks up the keybindings to the search box so that you can just press the keys while you have an item selected, and do a context command
* [x] Hook these keybindings up to the context flyout itself
* [x] Adds a sample for testing
Solves #38271
This one was subtle - the Settings class in the toolkit didn't ever change the items for a SettingsContentPage. For the main settings window, this was problematic. It would only ever hang onto one instance of that CommandSettings.SettingsContentPage, and never re-retrieve the value from it.
This fixes that issue, by making sure to raise an ItemsChanged in the settings changed handler, so that we automatically pull down the new settings forms.
For settings that were added to commands, as a context item, this wasn't an issue. They were always returning new forms to the host, with the current settings values in it.
Closes#38191
Windows Command Palette ("CmdPal") is the next iteration of PowerToys Run. With extensibility at its core, the Command Palette is your one-stop launcher to start _anything_.
By default, CmdPal is bound to <kbd>Win+Alt+Space</kbd>.


----
This brings the current preview version of CmdPal into the upstream PowerToys repo. There are still lots of bugs to work out, but it's reached the state we're ready to start sharing it with the world. From here, we can further collaborate with the community on the features that are important, and ensuring that we've got a most robust API to enable developers to build whatever extensions they want.
Most of the built-in PT Run modules have already been ported to CmdPal's extension API. Those include:
* Installed apps
* Shell commands
* File search (powered by the indexer)
* Windows Registry search
* Web search
* Windows Terminal Profiles
* Windows Services
* Windows settings
There are a couple new extensions built-in
* You can now search for packages on `winget` and install them right from the palette. This also powers searching for extensions for the palette
* The calculator has an entirely new implementation. This is currently less feature complete than the original PT Run one - we're looking forward to updating it to be more complete for future ingestion in Windows
* "Bookmarks" allow you to save shortcuts to files, folders, and webpages as top-level commands in the palette.
We've got a bunch of other samples too, in this repo and elsewhere
### PowerToys specific notes
CmdPal will eventually graduate out of PowerToys to live as its own application, which is why it's implemented just a little differently than most other modules. Enabling CmdPal will install its `msix` package.
The CI was minorly changed to support CmdPal version numbers independent of PowerToys itself. It doesn't make sense for us to start CmdPal at v0.90, and in the future, we want to be able to rev CmdPal independently of PT itself.
Closes#3200, closes#3600, closes#7770, closes#34273, closes#36471, closes#20976, closes#14495

TODOs et al
**Blocking:**
- [ ] Images and descriptions in Settings and OOBE need to be properly defined, as mentioned before
- [ ] Niels is on it
- [x] Doesn't start properly from PowerToys unless the fix PR is merged.
- https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/556 merged
- [x] I seem to lose focus a lot when I press on some limits, like between the search bar and the results.
- This is https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/427
- [x] Turned off an extension like Calculator and it was still working.
- Need to get rid of that toggle, it doesn't do anything currently
- [x] `ListViewModel.<FetchItems>` crash
- Pretty confident that was fixed in https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/553
**Not blocking / improvements:**
- Show the shortcut through settings, as mentioned before, or create a button that would open CmdPalette settings.
- When PowerToys starts, CmdPalette is always shown if enabled. That's weird when just starting PowerToys/ logging in to the computer with PowerToys auto-start activated. I think this should at least be a setting.
- Needing to double press a result for it to do the default action seems quirky. If one is already selected, I think just pressing should be enough for it to do the action.
- This is currently a setting, though we're thinking of changing the setting even more: https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/392
- There's no URI extension. Was surprised when typing a URL that it only proposed a web search.
- [x] There's no System commands extension. Was expecting to be able to quickly restart the computer by typing restart but it wasn't there.
- This is in PR https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/pull/452
