maintainers: we talked about this at length on Teams
> Seems like adding `IExtendedAttributesProvider` onto `CommandItem` is
what broke this. I don't know why. I'm not gonna pretend to understand
the cswinrt voodoo that's causing it to pick `IEAP` as the leaf

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR upgrades the `FuzzyStringMatcher` used in the Command Palette
Extensions SDK with a focus on performance, memory efficiency, and
improved matching behavior, while preserving compatibility with the
existing API. This PR is a backwards compatible alternative to
precomputed fuzzy matcher introduces in another PR.
The new implementation is designed as a drop-in replacement. Any
behavioral differences are intentional and primarily related to improved
diacritic handling, scoring consistency, and correctness of highlight
positions.
Changes:
- Keeps the existing public API intact and preserves behavior in nearly
all cases.
- Enables diacritics-insensitive matching by default, improving results
across accented and non-English languages.
- Significantly improves performance, with measured speedups in the
range of ~5–20 times, depending on scenario and input size.
- Reduces heap allocations to near zero by using stack allocation and
pooled buffers instead of large per-match DP arrays.
- Simplifies and optimizes matching logic:
- Folds the haystack only once per match.
- Uses rolling DP buffers instead of `O(query × target)` tables.
- Replaces large match tables with a compact bitset when tracking
highlight positions.
- Improves consistency and correctness:
- Normalizes path separators (`\` → `/`) during folding.
- Avoids returning highlight positions for PinYin-only matches where no
1:1 mapping exists.
- Introduces unit tests, including comparison tests against the legacy
implementation to validate compatibility.

## Validation Steps Performed
## 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.

> [!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.

## 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
targets related to manual package restore, as these are now handled
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`.

## 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~

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
I initially tried solving this by using a Regex on the card JSON to
replace all `Input.Toggle` elements with the new `ColumnSet` structure.
However, since `ToggleSetting.cs` already serves as a wrapper for
creating an Input.Toggle, I decided it was more effective to update the
declaration inside the `ToDictionary()` method directly.
### This is the result:

## Validation Steps Performed
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes three issues in one go:
- Restores missing icons in app context menus.
- Fixes propagation of changes from a command item to the context menu
item for the primary action.
- Ensures the context menus stay in sync when underlying command items
change.
Details:
- Correctly propagates updates of name, icon, and subtitle from a
command item to its primary command
(`CommandItemViewModel._defaultCommandContextItemViewModel`).
- Correctly propagate updates of command's name to title
(`CommandItem.ctor`).
- Fixes icon loading for application items: `AppCommand` no longer loads
an app icon by default but instead relies on the caller to provide one
(since `AppListItem` also handles icon loading).
- Adds a generic fallback icon for apps when an icon cannot be loaded.
- Updates bindings on context menu items to `OneWay`, ensuring the UI
properly reflects item changes.
- Adds a sample that showcases dynamically updated commands (with cats
and dolphins!) to _Samples → List Page Sample Command_.
⚠️ Toolkit changes:
- `CommandItem` won't capture assigned Command's name as its `Title`.
This will allow it to propagate future changes to `Command.Name`.
Pictures? Moving ones!

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR improves recognition and classification of bookmarks, allowing
CmdPal to recognize almost anything sensible a user can throw at
it—while being forgiving of common input issues (such as unquoted spaces
in paths, etc.).
Extended classification and exploration of edge cases also revealed
limitations in the current implementation, which reloaded all bookmarks
on every change. This caused visible UI lag and could lead to issues
like unintentionally adding the same bookmark multiple times.
### tl;dr
More details below
- Introduces `BookmarkManager` (async saves, thread-safe, immutable,
unique IDs, separate persistence).
- Adds `BookmarkResolver` (classification, Shell-like path/exe
resolution, better icons).
- `BookmarkListItem` now refreshes independently; Name is optional
(Shell fallback).
- Uses Shell API for user-friendly names and paths.
- Adds `IIconLocator`, protocol icon support, Steam custom icon,
fallback icons and improved `FaviconLoader` (handles redirects). Every
bookmark should now have icon, so we have consistent UI without gaps.
- Refactors placeholders (`IPlaceholderParser`), adds tests, restricts
names to `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]`, excludes GUIDs.
- Reorganizes structure, syncs icons/key chords with AllApps/Indexer.
- For web and protocol bookmarks URL-encodes placeholder values
- **Performance:** avoids full reloads, improves scalability, reduces UI
lag.
- **Breaking change:** stricter placeholder rules, bookmark command ids.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Changes
- **Bookmark Manager**
- Introduces a `BookmarkManager` class that:
- Holds bookmarks in memory and saves changes asynchronously.
- Is safe to operate from multiple threads.
- Uses immutable data for transport.
- Separates the **persistence model** from in-memory data.
- Assigns explicit unique IDs to bookmarks.
- These IDs also serve as stable top-level command identifiers, enabling
aliases and shortcuts to be bound reliably.
- **Bookmark Resolver**
- Determines the type of a bookmark (`CommandKind`: file, web link,
command, etc.).
- Detects its target and parameters.
- Returns a `Classification` object containing all information needed to
present the bookmark to the user (icon, primary command, context menu
actions, etc.).
- For unquoted local paths, attempts to find the *longest viable
matching path* to a file or executable, automatically handling spaces in
paths (e.g., `C:\Program Files`).
- The resolution of executables from the command line now more closely
matches **Windows Shell** behavior.
- Users are more likely to get the correct result.
- Icons can be determined more reliably.
- **Bookmark List Items**
- Each top-level bookmark item (`BookmarkListItem`) is now responsible
for presenting itself.
- Items refresh their state independently on load or after changes.
- The **Name** field is now optional.
- If no explicit name is provided, a user-friendly fallback name is
computed automatically using the Shell API.
- Context actions are now more in line with **All Apps** and **Indexer**
built-in extensions, matching items, icons, and shortcuts (still a work
in progress).
- **Shell API Integration**
- Uses the Shell API to provide friendly names and paths for shell or
file system items, keeping the UI aligned with the OS.
- **Protocol and Icon Support**
- Adds `IIconLocator` and protocol icon support.
- Provides a custom icon for **Steam**, since Steam registers its
protocol to an executable not on the path (and the Steam protocol is
expected to be a common case).
- Adds `FaviconLoader` for web links.
- Can now follow redirects and retrieve the favicon even if the server
takes the request on a “sightseeing tour.”
- Provides **Fluent Segoe fallback icons** that match the bookmark
classification when no specific icon is available.
- **Refactors and Reorganization**
- Extracts `IPlaceholderParser` for testability and reusability.
- Renames `Bookmarks` → `BookmarksData` to prevent naming collisions.
- Reorganizes the structure (reducing root-level file clutter).
- Synchronizes icons and key chords with AllApps/Indexer.
- Refactors placeholder parsing logic and **adds tests** to improve
reliability.
- **Misc**
- Correctly URL-encodes placeholder values in Web URL or protocol
bookmarks.
---
### Performance Improvements
- Eliminates full reloads of all bookmarks on every change.
- Improves scalability when working with a large number of bookmarks.
- Independent refresh of list items reduces UI lag and improves
responsiveness.
- Asynchronous persistence prevents blocking the UI thread on saves.
---
### Breaking Changes
- **Placeholders**
- Placeholder names are now restricted to letters (`a–z`, `A–Z`), digits
(`0–9`), uderscore (`_`), hyphen (`-`).
- GUIDs are explicitly excluded as valid placeholders to prevent
collisions with shell IDs.
- When presented to the user, placeholders are considered
case-insensitive.
- ** Bookmark Top-Level Command
- **Bookmark Top-Level Command**
- IDs for bookmark commands are now based on a unique identifier.
- This breaks existing bindings to shortcuts and aliases.
- Newly created bindings will be stable regardless of changes to the
bookmark (name, address, or having placeholders).

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes desynced resource manager files introduced by previous
commits.
While Visual Studio would regenerate and correct these files
automatically, applying this fix preemptively reduces unnecessary churn
in unrelated commits and avoids redundant file changes.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests

## Validation Steps Performed
Still a WIP, but here's the deets so far:
## No more throwing canceled tokens
Throwing exceptions is expensive and since we essentially cancel tokens
anytime someone is typing beyond the debounce, we could be throwing
exceptions a ton during search. Since we don't care about those past
executions, now they just `return`.
## Reduced number of apps returned in search
While users can specify how many apps (no limit, 1, 5), if they specify
no limit, we hard limit it at 10. For a few reasons, fuzzy search gets
_really_ fuzzy sometimes and gives answers that users would think is
just plain wrong and they make the response list longer than it needs to
be.
## Fuzzy search: still fuzzy, but faster
Replaced `StringMatcher` class with `FuzzyStringMatcher`.
`FuzzyStringMatcher` is a C# port by @zadjii-msft of the Rust port by
@lhecker for [microsoft/edit](https://github.com/microsoft/edit), which
I believe originally came from [VS
Code](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode). It's a whole fuzzy rabbit
hole. But it's faster than the `StringMatcher` class it replaced.
## Fallbacks, you need to fall back
"In the beginning, fallbacks were created. This had made many people
very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy jokes aside, fallbacks are one cause of
slower search results. A few modifications have been made to get them
out of the way without reverting their ability to do things dynamically.
1. Fallbacks are no longer scored and will always* appear at the bottom
of the search results
2. In updating their search text, we now use a cancellation token to
stop processing previous searches when a new keypress is recorded.
## * But Calculator & Run are special
So, remember when I said that all fallbacks will not be ranked and
always display at the bottom of the results? Surprise, some will be
ranked and displayed based on that score. Specifically, Calculator and
Run are fallbacks that are whitelisted from the restrictions mentioned
above. They will continue to act as they do today.
We do have the ability to add future fallbacks to that whitelist as
well.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Handles duplicate keybindings by using the first occurrence and ignoring
the rest (in `ContextMenuViewModel.Keybindings` and
`IContextMenuContext.Keybindings`).
Replaces LINQ with direct iteration for clarity.
Simplifies `CheckKeybinding` by removing redundant null checks and
clarifying the key-to-binding matching logic, improving both readability
and efficiency.
Add a new method to `KeyChordHelpers.FormatForDebug` that formats
KeyChord as string to help debugging.
Makes `KeyChordHelpers` class a static class.

## Validation Steps Performed
Validated using a custom extension that has a duplicate item in the
context menu.
Closes: #40382
## To-do list
- [x] Add support for "single-select" filters to DynamicListPage
- [x] Filters can contain icons
- [x] Filter list can contain separators
- [x] Update Windows Services built-in extension to support filtering by
all, started, stopped, and pending services
- [x] Update SampleExtension dynamic list sample to filter.
## Example of filters in use
```C#
internal sealed partial class ServicesListPage : DynamicListPage
{
public ServicesListPage()
{
Icon = Icons.ServicesIcon;
Name = "Windows Services";
var filters = new ServiceFilters();
filters.PropChanged += Filters_PropChanged;
Filters = filters;
}
private void Filters_PropChanged(object sender, IPropChangedEventArgs args) => RaiseItemsChanged();
public override void UpdateSearchText(string oldSearch, string newSearch) => RaiseItemsChanged();
public override IListItem[] GetItems()
{
// ServiceHelper.Search knows how to filter based on the CurrentFilterIds provided
var items = ServiceHelper.Search(SearchText, Filters.CurrentFilterIds).ToArray();
return items;
}
}
public partial class ServiceFilters : Filters
{
public ServiceFilters()
{
// This would be a default selection. Not providing this will cause the filter
// control to display the "Filter" placeholder text.
CurrentFilterIds = ["all"];
}
public override IFilterItem[] GetFilters()
{
return [
new Filter() { Id = "all", Name = "All Services" },
new Separator(),
new Filter() { Id = "running", Name = "Running", Icon = Icons.GreenCircleIcon },
new Filter() { Id = "stopped", Name = "Stopped", Icon = Icons.RedCircleIcon },
new Filter() { Id = "paused", Name = "Paused", Icon = Icons.PauseIcon },
];
}
}
```

This stops us from raising a PropChanged(SearchText) in DynamicListPage
when we're the ones to set it.
When we'd raise the PropChanged in response to a `set`, it could cause a
race between CmdPal and the extension. It was totally possible that
CmdPal could call
```
SearchText="foo";
SearchText="fool";
```
and in the extension, we'd raise the PropChanged for each of those, but
then have CmdPal handle those events out-of-order.
This seems to entirely remove all the "jiggling" that I'd notice in the
evil samples from #41158Closes#38190
_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.

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.

* Really? The VM project compiles?
* Disable publish AOT before we really testing it.

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
