## 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.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR updates the PowerToys solution to support **Visual Studio 2026
(PlatformToolset v145)**. It centralizes the build configuration,
updates the C++ language standards, and fixes an issue with a MouseJump
unit test that appears while using the VS 2026 supported build agent.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
**Build System & Configuration:**
- Updated `Cpp.Build.props` to use `v145` (VS 2026) as the default
`PlatformToolset`, with fall back to `v143` for VS 2022.
- Configured C++ Language Standard:
- `stdcpplatest` for production projects.
- Removed explicit `<PlatformToolset>` definitions from individual
project files (approx. 37 modules) to inherit correctly from the central
`Cpp.Build.props`.
**Code Refactoring & Fixes:**
- Updated `DrawingHelperTests.cs` in MouseJump Unit Test to ease the
pixel difference tolerance. This became an issue after switching to the
new VS2026 build agent.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Validated successful compilation of the entire solution. Similar
updates have been made to the .NET 10 branch, but these are much cleaner
and will be merged into that branch once fully confirmed working.

This upgrades to [v0.0.24](https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/releases/tag/v0.0.24).
A number of GitHub APIs are being turned off shortly, so you need to upgrade or various uncertain outcomes will occur.
There's a new accessibility forbidden pattern:

There are some minor bugs that I'm aware of and which I've fixed since this release, but I don't expect to make another release this month.
I've added a pair of patterns for includes and pragmas. My argument is that the **compiler** will _generally_ tell you if you've misspelled an include and the **linker** will _generally_ tell you if you misspell a lib.
- There's a caveat here: If your include case-insensitively matches the referenced file (but doesn't properly match it), then unless you either use a case-sensitive file system (as opposed to case-preserving) or beg clang to warn, you won't notice when you make this specific mistake -- this matters in that a couple of Windows headers (e.g. Unknwn.h) have particular case and repositories don't tend to consistently/properly write them.
