## Summary of the Pull Request
Workspace support for pwa is now limited, it is tight to specific
Profile launch. If you create a pwa app with a profile other than
"Default", launch will fail. Then you have to manually configure that
profile to launch.
This pr fix it by launching with shell:appsfolder\appusermodelId

## Summary of the Pull Request
This is an additional fix that extends the work done in
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/40023fix#39851
## Problem
[PdfThumbnailProvider](cci:1://file:///d:/Github/PowerToys/src/modules/previewpane/PdfThumbnailProvider/PdfThumbnailProvider.cs:15:8-18:9)
could fail at compile-time **and/or** produce empty or invalid
thumbnails at runtime:
1.
[Image](cci:1://file:///d:/Github/PowerToys/src/modules/previewpane/PdfThumbnailProvider/PdfThumbnailProvider.cs:81:8-103:9)
/ `Bitmap` types come from **System.Drawing**, but the namespace was
missing, causing build errors in environments that don’t rely on
implicit global usings.
2. After rendering the first PDF page to an in-memory stream, the
stream’s cursor remained at the end.
`Image.FromStream(stream.AsStream())` therefore read **zero bytes**,
throwing an exception or creating an empty bitmap.
## Fix
* Added explicit `using System.Drawing;`.
* Added `stream.Seek(0);` right before `Image.FromStream(...)` to rewind
the stream to the beginning.
```csharp
using System.Drawing; // new
...
page.RenderToStreamAsync(...).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
stream.Seek(0); // rewind so Image.FromStream reads data
imageOfPage = Image.FromStream(stream.AsStream());
```
## Testing
- Rebuilt the solution – compilation succeeds without missing-namespace
errors.
- Ran thumbnail handler against multiple PDFs; thumbnails now render
correctly and no runtime exceptions are thrown.
## Impact
Users regain reliable PDF thumbnail previews in Explorer, improving
usability and preventing crashes or blank icons.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added a Theme aware implementation that was already found on other
components, the only difference is that we are dealing with multiple
windows.
It will follow the Power Toys application theme, (windows too in case
PowerToys follows the System).
I decided to change the scope of a variable to not create a second
control of croppedWindows, this may need to be taken into consideration.
## Validation Steps Performed
Using Crop (Win + Ctrl + Shift +R)
Crop one or multiple windows.
All of them have the same theme as the application.
Went to windows theme settings, change to light theme, the app changes
accordingly.
Same behavior was tested with Thumbnail (Win + Ctrl + Shift + T)
Closing windows and changing the theme again.

## Summary of the Pull Request
### This PR implements various fixes and improvements into
RegistryPreview for saving files:
1. Adds an unsaved file indicator in the title bar like in Notepad. (As
indicator we show the * character before the file title.)
2. The save button behaves like a "save as" button, if the file does not
exist on disk like in Notepad. (Without fix when running as non-admin
you get an access denied error message.)
3. If the app gets closed without saving and the file does not exist on
disk, then the user is now asked for the path. (Fixes crash on clicking
save button while closing the app.)
4. Failed save actions are handled now correctly on dirty closing,
opening files and all other actions that require saving the current
state. They will stop the process.
5. A fix for an incorrect enabled state of the save button after
opening, reloading and saving a file.
6. Reuse file name on save as button, if known. Otherwise use "new file"
template name like in Notepad.
7. Fix an app crash if you click the window's close button a second time
while the "Should save?" dialog is opened.
8. Added an reload dialog in case of unsaved changes.

## Summary of the Pull Request
- Adds a new **"Restart Windows Explorer"** command to the **"Windows
System Commands"** provider
- Implemented using **Restart Manager** to allow restoring previously
opened Explorer windows after restart
- This depends on the *"Restore previous folder windows at logon"*
option in File Explorer Options
- An explicit timeout was added for terminating processes, since Restart
Manager uses very long timeouts 😴
- The shell process name (`explorer`) is hardcoded
- The command attempts to terminate all `explorer` processes
indiscriminately
- Execution requires confirmation (if enabled in settings)

## Summary of the Pull Request
Fixed build warnings WMC1510 in `HostsMainPage.xaml` that were
preventing proper AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compilation compatibility for XAML
data bindings.
### Problem
The Hosts module was generating multiple WMC1510 warnings during build:
```
src\modules\Hosts\HostsUILib\HostsMainPage.xaml(614,13): Warning WMC1510: Ensure the property path is trimming and AOT compatible by making use of 'Compiled Bindings (x:bind)' if possible or by specifying the 'x:DataType' directive...
```
These warnings occurred on 6 different binding expressions in the
EntryDialog ContentDialog that bound to properties of the `Entry` model
class.
### Solution
Applied the recommended fix by adding proper type information for the
XAML compiler:
1. **Added `x:DataType="models:Entry"`** to the ContentDialog element to
specify the binding context type
2. **Added `[Bindable]` attribute** to the Entry model class to ensure
WinRT compatibility
### Changes Made
- **HostsMainPage.xaml**: Added `x:DataType="models:Entry"` attribute to
the EntryDialog ContentDialog
- **Entry.cs**: Added `[Bindable]` attribute and `using
Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Data;` directive
<!-- Provide a more detailed description of the PR, other things fixed,
or any additional comments/features here -->
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- ✅ Resolves all 6 WMC1510 warnings in the specified lines
- ✅ Ensures AOT compilation compatibility
- ✅ No functional changes to UI behavior
- ✅ Minimal code changes (3 lines total)
- ✅ Follows Microsoft's recommended approach for WinRT data binding
The fix enables proper trimming and AOT compilation while maintaining
all existing functionality.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes an issue where the warning message in Peek was always
displayed, even when not applicable.
**Root cause**
When non-video files were triggered, the logic did not call
`IsWarningMessageVisible(string? missingCodecName)`
as expected. As a result, the default UI state caused the warning
message to always appear.
**Fix**
Updated the method signature and call sites to:
`public Visibility IsWarningMessageVisible(IPreviewer? previewer,
PreviewState? state)`
This ensures that the logic is consistently triggered across different
preview handlers and has access to the necessary context to determine
whether the warning message should be shown.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
- Verified that if CmdPal closes in 1.5s, extensions and process are
closed (note that GitHub extension doesn't close probably due to
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/39209)
- Verified that if CmdPal doesn't close in 1.5s the process is killed
and extensions aren't closed (tested adding a delay in the code)
## Summary of the Pull Request
Enables the users to choose what left, right, and middle click does when
color picker is open.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Adds option to choose from 3 click behaviors for each standard mouse
button:
* **Pick color and open editor**: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to
the color history and opens the editor
* **Pick color and close**: Copies color to clipboard, saves it to the
color history and exits
* **Close**: Closes color picker without copying the color
Pressing <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Space</kbd> does what clicking the
primary button would.
Left and middle click actions execute on mouse down, right click on
mouse up for reasons discussed previously (I can't find the conversation
now)
Default settings are chosen in such a way that very little or nothing
changes by updating.
## Validation Steps Performed
Tested:
* Migrating settings from v2.0 to v2.1 (v1 to v2.1 not tested)
* Settings page displays and saves settings correctly
* Default settings load correctly
* All three click actions do what they are supposed to
* Activation behavior works as expected, doesn't affect click actions

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR replaces the original Mages-based expression evaluation engine
with a WinRT-wrapped version of Exprtk in the CmdPalCalculator module.
### Key Changes
**Expression Engine:**
- All expression parsing and evaluation now use Exprtk (via a WinRT
wrapper) instead of Mages.
**Base Conversion Handling:**
- Since Exprtk does not support non-decimal (binary, octal, hexadecimal)
input natively, added logic to convert all such inputs to decimal before
evaluation.
**Code Structure:**
- The overall logic and API surface remain unchanged except for the
engine and base conversion handling.
- All previous Mages references and dependencies have been removed.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
This pull request introduces a new unit testing framework for the
`WorkspacesLib` module, adds test coverage for various utilities, and
integrates the new test project into the build system. Key changes
include adding the `WorkspacesLibUnitTests` project, implementing tests
for `AppUtils`, `JsonUtils`, and `PwaHelper`, and updating the build
configuration to include the new test project.
### Unit Tests Added:
* **`AppUtilsTests`**:
- Added comprehensive tests for methods such as `GetCurrentFolder`,
`IsEdge`, `IsChrome`, and `IsSteamGame` to validate their behavior under
various conditions.
* **`JsonUtilsTests`**:
- Implemented tests for reading and writing workspace data, including
scenarios for invalid JSON, non-existent files, and valid workspace
lists.
* **`PwaHelperTests`**:
- Added tests to ensure the stability of `PwaHelper` methods, such as
`GetEdgeAppId`, `GetChromeAppId`, and `SearchPwaName`, even with invalid
or empty inputs.
### Build System Updates:
* **New Test Project Integration**:
- Added the `WorkspacesLibUnitTests` project to the solution file
`PowerToys.sln` with appropriate dependencies.
- Updated build configurations to include the new test project for both
Debug and Release builds across architectures.

### Pipeline Adjustments:
* **Test Discovery**:
- Updated the pipeline configuration in
`.pipelines/v2/templates/job-build-project.yml` to discover the new
`WorkspacesLibUnitTests.dll` during test runs.

Few updates to the WinGet publish workflow action
- Use GitHub release event instead of manually making an API call to
GitHub API and then fetching the target release. The target release is
directly accessible via the event. The refactor is similar to the GitHub
action of
[microsoft/edit](https://github.com/microsoft/edit/blob/main/.github/workflows/winget.yml)
repo's workflow
- With the latest winget-create release, the preferred method for
providing the GitHub token in CI/CD environment is via the environment
variable `WINGET_CREATE_GITHUB_TOKEN`. Removed use of `--token` and
switched to environment variable. See https://aka.ms/winget-create-token
for details.
They made secure strings the default. Doing it this way maintains
compatibility with the version before and after the default changed.
This fixes symbol publication.

## Summary of the Pull Request
The `verifyNoticeMdAgainstNugetPackages.ps1` script previously only
reported "Notice.md does not match NuGet list." without providing any
details about which packages were different, making it difficult to
debug discrepancies.
## Changes Made
This enhancement adds detailed difference reporting when NuGet packages
don't match:
- **Extracts current package list from NOTICE.md** using regex pattern
matching
- **Shows packages missing from NOTICE.md** (highlighted in red)
- **Shows packages in NOTICE.md but not in generated list** (highlighted
in yellow)
- **Provides summary statistics** with package counts
- **Maintains backward compatibility** - all existing functionality
preserved
<!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting-->
## PR Checklist
If there is no difference, the same behaviour.
If there is difference, here is the example:

## Edge Cases Handled
- **Missing NuGet section**: Shows warning and treats as empty package
list
- **Empty package lists**: Handles gracefully with appropriate counts
- **Matching lists**: No additional output (preserves existing behavior)
This enhancement significantly improves the debugging experience when
NuGet package verification fails by providing specific, actionable
information about which packages need attention.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Problem
-------------
We've observed multiple bug reports related to crashes with the
following exceptions:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xD0000701)
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80263001)
The root cause of these crashes has been traced to the WPF framework,
specifically this line in WindowChromeWorker.cs:
3439f20fb8/src/Microsoft.DotNet.Wpf/src/PresentationFramework/System/Windows/Shell/WindowChromeWorker.cs (L1005)
These crashes are not necessarily caused by PowerToys Run itself being
used, or even visible. However, users perceive them as Run-related
because the "Report problem UI" is triggered by our global exception
handler, surfacing the underlying WPF crash.
Fix
------------
This PR:
- Suppresses the launch of the "Report problem UI" for exceptions known
to be triggered by unstable platform conditions (such as COMExceptions
from WPF internals).
- Continues to log the exception to preserve diagnostic data.
This change ensures we:
- Avoid showing an UI when WPF framework itself is already having
problem to handling DWM composition changes.
This lets us auto-focus the first input on a `IFormContent`, if there's
only one `IContent` on the page.
This dramatically improves the usability for forms, since we'll
immediately put focus into them
Closes#38436
<!-- Let's say you wanted to add a hotkey to the Run command. And let's
say you wanted it to be Win+R. This lets you do that -->
We should apply the LLKH setting to all command hotkeys, not just the
global one.

To simulate a missing codec (e.g., AV1):
1. Check if the AV1 extension is installed:
```powershell
Get-AppxPackage -Name *AV1*
2. If installed, remove it:
```powershell
Get-AppxPackage -Name *AV1* | Remove-AppxPackage
3. Use Peek to preview a video encoded in AV1 format.
4. Confirm that a warning message is shown indicating the missing codec.

reference to PowerRenameLib in the PowerRename.FuzzingTest project.
Previously, the project used a hardcoded path to link against
PowerRenameLib.lib, which caused build errors in Debug mode when the
.lib file had not yet been generated or the output path was incorrect.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR introduces necessary changes to make the CmdPal.Apps extension
compatible with NativeAOT publishing. The main updates include:
1. Project configuration updates: Added NativeAOT-related properties to
the .csproj.
2. Native interop adjustments:
> - Introduced NativeMethods.json and used
[CsWin32](https://github.com/microsoft/cswin32) to generate P/Invoke
bindings.
> - Replaced some DllImport declarations with source-generated
[LibraryImport] for improved AOT support.

This was especially noticable with the icons extension.
Turns out in #39051, when I was experimenting with getting AoT clean,
i accidentally called this twice. Then we actually commited that
straight up.
This PR reverts that. It also moves a similar case where we were
initializing all the tags on the UI thread. That's wrong too - we need
to fetch properties off the UI thread, then update the list on the UI
thread.
Closes nothing, I didn't file this yet.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Since we change the launch method by this PR #39269 , we will start cmdpal as admin too if powertoys run as admin.
The fix is leveraging explorer (which will not run as admin) to start the cmdpal
Moreover, without this fix, some of extension cannot be "loaded" when cmdpal run as admin, e.g. winget will be missing, and my own new extension developed by myself will not be loaded successful as well.
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?

## Summary of the Pull Request
The Command Palette allows users to create extensions with dashes in their names, which is invalid for C# namespaces. This causes projects to fail during build because the name cannot be used as a valid namespace.
## Changes
- Updated the validation regex in `NewExtensionForm.cs` to only allow valid C# identifiers
- Now only allows names starting with a letter or underscore, followed by letters, numbers, or underscores
- Explicitly prevents dashes, spaces, and other special characters
- Improved the error message to clearly explain the requirements for valid C# identifiers
## Before
Previously, the input only validated that no spaces were used:
```csharp
"regex": "^[^\\s]+$"
```
## After
Now the input properly validates for C# namespace compatibility:
```csharp
"regex": "^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$"
```
This ensures that users cannot create extension projects with names that would fail to build.

This will ensure that the command palette package is copied to the artifact directory.
If code signing was enabled, the final copied package will be the signed version.
Minor build rule rearranging was required to collect the command palette package
path for the staging step when signing was _disabled_. I did this solely so that we
could verify the results in CI.
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.
Updates .NET 9 Runtime / Library packages to the latest 9.0.5 servicing release for security fixes.
This PR also updates the version of System.Text.Json to 9.0.5 in the CmdPal extension template.
Data collection is hard.
Our internal package, which was last bumped around August 2024,
mistakenly changed a load bearing string from `ETW_GROUP` to
`MSPG_GROUP`. The former sets the ETW group id. The later does nothing.
This PR represents bumping our dependency to the version with the fix.
Considering that none of our data for CmdPal worked anyways, I took the
opportunity to rename a bunch of our events that had totally generic
names.
Closes#38704
re: #38032
regressed around: #34078
This bumps the version of the toolkit consumed by the template to 0.2.0
~Ironically, I have not yet published 0.2. I'm spinning that CI build currently. But I'll have that uploaded tomorrow morning at the latest~
EDIT: package is uploaded now
Extensions can change the properties on their Details, and they should
be observable, but they weren't. This is because the ShellPage is
ultimately responsible for exposing the details, but it doesn't own the
details. The selected ListItemViewModel from the ListPage does.
This PR just adds a event handler on ListViewModel. We'll attach/detach
that handler to ListItemViewModels as the selection changes. In the body
of that handler, we'll let the ShellPage know when the details object
changes (by sending ShowDetails/HideDetails messages).

## Summary of the Pull Request
Card = AdaptiveCard.FromJsonString(cardJson) is called in catch block, if it fails, app will crash.
This PR stops us from synchronously initializing the settings page for every extension (including built-in's) on startup. That incurs a small penalty that really adds up the more extensions a user has.
Instead, we'll now only initialize the `CommandSettings` object when we first actually need it.
From a relatively unscientific test, this saves approximately 10% on the initialization of builtin commands, and for my setup, it trims about 28% off extension initialization (across all built-in's / extensions):
branch | Built-in load (ms) | Extension load (ms) | %Δ builtin | %Δ extensions |
-- | -- | -- | -- | -- |
main | 1455 | 6867.6 | | |
this PR | 1309.2 | 4919 | -10.02% | -28.37%

There's apparently a footgun with the way we're using ComServer, which
results in us leaking the extension processes when we think we've
disposed them
The fix unfortunately has to be on the extension side. Extensions
published prior to 0.2 will need to manually fix this.

On a reload, the system commands fallback would leave the "restart"
fallback behind, for the same reason as what we found around
e40372c & ef264d9 in #38455
I cannot find an issue for this. I swear I filed it somewhere.
If you open winget, search for "terminal", wait till it loads, then
hit `esc`, we'll clear the search and empty the list, but never actually
hide the details pane. That looks weird.
This fixes that.
Closes _nothing i guess_.

This reduces our extension startup time by approximately 70% on my
machine (I have 17 extensions). I'd guess the gains scale with the
number of extensions. That's 8s -> 3s on average, and now I also get 2.5s reloads.
This retains the order of the list of extensions, by only starting the
processes in parallel. Once we have all the command provider instances,
then actually retrieving the commands.
It also adds a timeout on startup & load, so that one misbehaving extension won't block everyone else.
closes: #38529
Closes#38829
If we always UpdateProperty here, then there's a possible
race condition, where we raise the PropertyChanged(SearchText)
before the subclass actually retrieves the new SearchText from the
model. In that race situation, if the UI thread handles the
PropertyChanged before ListViewModel fetches the SearchText, it'll
think that the old search text is the _new_ value.

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.

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
Apps that want to show MSAL dialogs on the Command Palette would explode if they passed CmdPal's HWND to WithParentActivityOrWindow. It's not entirely clear why, but MSAL would explode if the parent HWND is hidden.
When the MSAL dialog opened, we'd hide ourselves, and badda bing, badda boom, the extension would crash.
MSAL dialogs will set us to WS_DISABLED right before the dialog is opened. Easy solution. Don't hide ourselves, if we're disabled.
Helps some friends not depend on the existence of Teams :P
**WARNING:** This PR will probably blow up all in-flight PRs
at some point in the early days of CmdPal, two of us created seperate
`Exts` and `exts` dirs. Depending on what the casing was on the branch
that you checked one of those out from, it'd get stuck like that on your
PC forever.
Windows didn't care, so we never noticed.
But GitHub does care, and now browsing the source on GitHub is basically
impossible.

This is a fix for a pair of related crashes.
Basically, we'd crash on startup if we failed to initialize WinGet. This could happen in two different places:
* If WinGet wasn't installed, then we'd explode, cause obviously we can't call its APIs
* If we're running as Admin, we won't be able to instantiate it's COM server.
Regardless of how it happens, I've defaulted us to just _not enabling the winget built-in_. That's the simplest solution here.
As I was helpfully reminded, there's also an elevated WindowsPackageManagerFactory we could use too - though, that wouldn't solve the case of "winget isn't installed"
Closes#38460Closes#38440 (most likely)
In CmdPal and PT Run, if you currently try to go to mouse pointer, it fails. This looks to be due to capitalization in the command. This can be validated via run dialog also.
shifting to lowercase fixes the bug.

It appears there are two issues in WinGet regarding the installation of dependencies.
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/4661https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/4679
For CmdPal 0.1, we're going to skip installing dependencies to make extension installation more robust. This will mostly work because extensions will depend on the same frameworks as the command palette itself (for now).
We will revert this once these two issues are fixed.
The problem:
> * we need to go update all the Fallback commands. (these are ones that extensions can use to react to the search text - basically, "what the user typed wasn't found immediately, but here's something they can fall back on"
> * this is wacky, because the way I had it, I update each item, and if it "changes visibility", then we need to update the main list, because we've already removed it from the list. So we need to re-update the list to account for that
> * you missed it reading that (and i missed it writing it) but that basically means we re-populate the list F={num fallbacks} times, because each one sends the "do it again" message
> * That results in us basically creating (F+1)*(N=num items+apps) view models, initializing them, and not needing most of them
The crux here being a single thread, to update all the fallback items,
that then only raises _one_ items changed at the very end.
I don't love this, one misbehaving fallback could stop all the others. In theory, we should do a parallel update of all these things, with a like, 1s timeout on each leg.
But it has gotta be faster till we can do #38140 (or similar)
Closes: (not sure I filed one). But the first typed character _felt_ slow.
This is a much tidier solution. Don't default _everything_ to a weight of 1 if the query is whitespace. Instead, do a simple string contains check (because FuzzySearch will beef it on just whitespace)
Closes#38133
I originally based this off of #38157, so I know these two won't collide
- `appLicensing` avoids the issue where installation requires access to the store servers for licensing.
- It was decided that PowerToys would manage CmdPal's startup.
This only repros on my desktop, so I suppose that means a slower machine is needed
I was mistaken, and assumed we were already operating on a copy here. We weren't. That meant that it was possible for another extension to be detected, change the list, and crash the whole palette.
## Validation Steps Performed
No longer does my desktop crash on startup

## Summary of the Pull Request
Attempt to fix `Layout cycle detected. Layout could not complete` exception when CmdPal is moved on a screen with different DPI.
I can repro almost 100% and no longer occurs after switching tags `ItemsView` with `ItemsControl`.
Doesn't seem to break visual and don't expect a huge number of tags so use an `ItemsControl` shouldn't be a problem.

## Validation Steps Performed
More than a couple people hit mYsTeRiOuS iSsUeS on ARM. Extensions would load the first time, but never again. Their processes would start, but the objects would fail to load.
Fortunately, @azchohfi discovered that using `Shmuelie.WinRTServer`, rather than the one pilfered from devhome, doesn't have this problem.
I don't have an ARM machine to validate the changes, but @lauren-ciha thankfully did the groundwork to get this validated in their extension, so I think this should work.
Closes https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/97
- Removing the redundant icon + text in the bottom left corner
- Minor styling tweaks
- Adding subtle show/hide animations
- Improved narrator support for Settings button
- Minor design tweaks to the tags for better visibility (still needs more work in the future)

There is a bug in command palette where the top level commands from extensions gets duplicated after the extension raises items changed, or when it is requested by CmdPal for any reason. This didn't happen when we kill CmdPal and open it again.
When investigating, I noticed that the `UpdateCommandsForProvider` method was not deleting the top level commands for the extension.
This seems to be happening because the comparison `var isTheSame = wrapper == firstCommand;` is not comparing objects of the same type. It was comparing a `TopLevelViewModel` with a `CommandItem`, and it was never set to `true`.
I change it to compare the `TopLevelViewModel` of both commands, and now it seems to be detecting correctly.
Another option of fix could be comparing the `CommandItem`s.
closes https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/511
---
Another bug that I found while testing today is that when a user uninstalled or updated an extension, it was still being listed as an enabled extension. This was generating duplicates in the top level commands in case of updating an extension, and resulting in unpredictable behavior and occasional crashes in CmdPal.
Added a fix for that on `ExtensionService`, removing the uninstalled extensions also from the `_enabledExtensions` list.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Update OOBE's CmdPal page to show the actual hotkey and style it similar to other OOBE pages.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
Open OOBE and verify it looks like other OOBE pages.
Both `TopLevelCommandItemWrapper` and `TopLevelViewModel` were really the same thing. The latter was from an earlier prototype, and the former is a more correct, safer abstraction. We really should have only ever used the former, but alas, we only used it for the SUI, and it piggy-backed off the latter, and that meant the latter's bugs became the former's.
tldr: I made the icon access safe in the SUI.
And while I was doing this, because we now have a cleaner VM abstraction here in the host, we can actually cleanly disable extensions, because the `CommandProviderWrapper` knows which `ViewModel`s it made.

Closes https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/478
Closes https://github.com/zadjii-msft/PowerToys/issues/577
I forgot that packages write to a virtualized registry, rather than the
real one. As it turn out, the registry plugin requires being able to
write to the registry to be able to open the correct location
Closes#38053
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

This PR aims to fix the bug #35225 by introducing a new method IsJson to determine if a given text is in JSON format.
The IsJson method is then utilized in the ToJsonFromXmlOrCsvAsync method to optimize the processing logic.
If the text is already in JSON format, it is returned directly without further conversion from XML or CSV.

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:
> Do not use `(click) here` links
> For more information, see:
> * https://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/noClickHere
> * https://webaim.org/techniques/hypertext/link_text
> * https://granicus.com/blog/why-click-here-links-are-bad/
> * https://heyoka.medium.com/dont-use-click-here-f32f445d1021
```pl
(?i)(?:>|\[)(?:(?:click |)here|link|(?:read |)more)(?:</|\]\()
```
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.

# Update Lorem based on your content (requires `ge` and `w` from https://github.com/jsoref/spelling; and `review` from https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Looking-for-items-locally )
# Even repositories expecting pure English content can unintentionally have Non-English content... People will occasionally mistakenly enter [homoglyphs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoglyph) which are essentially typos, and using this pattern will mean check-spelling will not complain about them.
#
# If the content to be checked should be written in English and the only Non-English items will be people's names, then you can consider adding this.
#
# Alternatively, if you're using check-spelling v0.0.25+, and you would like to _check_ the Non-English content for spelling errors, you can. For information on how to do so, see:
# See https://www.grammarly.com/blog/cannot-or-can-not/
# > Don't use `can not` when you mean `cannot`. The only time you're likely to see `can not` written as separate words is when the word `can` happens to precede some other phrase that happens to start with `not`.
# > `Can't` is a contraction of `cannot`, and it's best suited for informal writing.
# > In formal writing and where contractions are frowned upon, use `cannot`.
# > It is possible to write `can not`, but you generally find it only as part of some other construction, such as `not only . . . but also.`
# - if you encounter such a case, add a pattern for that case to patterns.txt.

Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.
### 0.86 - October 2024 Update
### 0.91 - May 2025 Update
In this release, we focused on new features, stability, and improvements.
In this release, we focused on new features, stability, and automation.
**Highlights**
- Advanced Paste has new abilities: Image to text, and paste to file (text / png / html).
- In settings, we've adjusted the left navigation to group the utilities. As the number of utilities shipped with PowerToys keeps growing, we felt this was a needed adjustment. Thanks everyone for your feedback!
- Workspaces received many bug fixes, including the proper launching of many instances of the same application in the same workspace. Note, we are still actively looking at how to properly handle PWA detection.
- We've added a diagnostic data (telemetry) opt-in option in the Settings General tab. As it is off-by-default, we encourage users to turn it on as that helps direct our development efforts and their journeys. More information about the data we collect can be found in the [PowerToys Data and Privacy documentation](https://aka.ms/powertoys-data-and-privacy-documentation) and what each event does.
**✨Highlights**

To submit a job to the cloud you can run with this command:
You want to run with --do-not-file-bugs because if there is an issue with running the parser in the cloud (which is very possible), you don't want bugs to be created if there is an issue. The --duration task is the number of hours you want the task to run. I recommend just running for 1 hour to make sure things work initially. If you don't specify this parameter, it will default to 48 hours. You can find more about submitting a test job here.

A specialized UI test framework for PowerToys that makes it easy to write UI tests for PowerToys modules or settings. Let's start writing UI tests!
## Before running tests
- Install Windows Application Driver v1.2.1 from https://github.com/microsoft/WinAppDriver/releases/tag/v1.2.1 to the default directory (`C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Application Driver`)
- Enable Developer Mode in Windows settings
## Running tests
- Exit PowerToys if it's running.
- Open `PowerToys.sln` in Visual Studio and build the solution.
- Run tests in the Test Explorer (`Test > Test Explorer` or `Ctrl+E, T`).
## How to add the first UI tests for your modules
- Create a new project and add the following references to the project file. Change the OutputPath to your own module's path.
```
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Library</OutputType>
<!-- This is a UI test, so don't run as part of MSBuild -->
While working on tests, you may need a tool that helps you to view the element's accessibility data, e.g. for finding the button to click. For this purpose, you could use [AccessibilityInsights](https://accessibilityinsights.io/docs/windows/overview).
* The id can be anything. Recommended is one of the file extensions. For example "php" or "reg".

Note: since _background activation_ implies that your toast handler will be invoked in a separate process, you can't share data directly from within a handler and your PT process.

[The localization step](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/86d77103e9c69686c297490acb04775d43ef8b76/.pipelines/pipeline.user.windows.yml#L45-L52) is run on the pipeline before the solution is built. This step runs the [build-localization](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/.pipelines/build-localization.cmd) script, which generates resx files for all the projects with localization enabled using the `Localization.XLoc` package.
The [`Localization.XLoc`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/86d77103e9c69686c297490acb04775d43ef8b76/.pipelines/build-localization.cmd#L24-L25) tool is run on the repo root, and it checks for all occurrences of `LocProject.json`. Each localized project has a `LocProject.json` file in the project root, which contains the location of the English resx file, list of languages for localization, and the output path where the localized resx files are to be copied to. In addition to this, some other parameters can be set, such as whether the language ID should be added as a folder in the file path or in the file name. When the CDPX pipeline is run, the localization team is notified of changes in the English resx files. For each project with localization enabled, a `loc` folder (see [this](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/modules/launcher/Microsoft.Launcher/loc) for example) is created in the same directory as the `LocProject.json` file. The folder contains language specific folders which in turn have a nested folder path equivalent to `OutputPath` in the `LocProject.json`. Each of these folders contain one `lcl` file. The `lcl` files contain the English resources along with their translation for that language. These are described in more detail [here](#lcl-files). Once the `.resx` files are generated, they will be used during the `Build PowerToys` step for localized versions of the modules.

C++ projects do not support `resx` files, and instead use `rc` files along with `resource.h` files. The CDPX pipeline however doesn't support localizing `rc` files and the other alternative they support is directly translating the resources from the binary which makes it harder to maintain resources. To avoid this, a custom script has been added which expects a resx file and converts the entries to an rc file with a string table and adds resource declarations to a resource.h file so that the resources can be compiled with the C++ project.

- Check if any shortcut remap is currently invoked. This is required to ensure that two remaps don't occur simultaneously at a time, and we send key up events for the shortcuts only if they are actually invoked and not for artificial key up events. In addition to that, while a remap is in the middle of execution, the keyboard state will not match the physical keys, so we do not want a remap <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> to <kbd>Ctrl+V</kbd> to also trigger the remap from <kbd>Ctrl+V</kbd> to <kbd>Alt+V</kbd> on pressing <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> on the keyboard.
- Get the remap table as per the `activatedApp` argument (i.e. if it is empty, we get the global shortcut remap table and otherwise we get the corresponding app-specific shortcut remap table).
- Iterate over the list of remaps in descending order of number of keys in the shortcut. This is required **for shortcut to key remaps** to ensure that if a user has both <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> and <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+A</kbd> remapped to some keys, and the user presses <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+A</kbd>, then we prefer the <kbd>Ctrl+Shift+A</kbd> remap. This logic would not be required if there were only shortcut to shortcut remaps, as they are invoked only on exact match.
- If any shortcut was found to be invoked (from the first step), then we skip till we find the matching shortcut remap. If not we check if the modifiers of the original shortcut are pressed down. If they are, we check if the current key event is a key down event and it matches the action key of the original shortcut. For shortcut to shortcut and for disabling a shortcut [we have an additional step](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L208-L212) where we check if any other key is pressed apart from the original shortcut. This is required because for these two features we allow the remaps only if those exact keys are pressed. The method used for this is described in detail [here](keyboardmanagercommon.md#IsKeyboardStateClearExceptShortcut). If a win key was pressed, we store whether it was the left or the right one, in order to determine which key to set for remaps from/to the common Win key code which we added. This is so that pressing and releasing Left Win key results in that Win key getting modified and not the Right Win key.

- If the remap is to a key, we send a dummy key event followed by releasing the original shortcut's modifiers and setting the target key (or doing nothing if it is remapped to disable) and we suppress the event.
- If the remap is to a shortcut, if the modifiers in the original shortcut are present in the target, we only set the additional modifiers and the action key of the target. If it isn't, we send a dummy key event followed by releasing the modifiers which are not common, and setting the remaining ones in the target along with the action key.
- For both cases, we set the `isShortcutInvoked` flag to true, and set the `KeyboardManagerState.activatedApp` if it is an app-specific shortcut remap.
- For the `isShortcutInvoked` is true scenario (i.e. the initial remap keydown section is done) there are several cases depending on the key pressed or released:
- [**Case 1:**](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L339-L430) If a modifier in the original shortcut is released, we need to reset back to the physical keys pressed.
- For remap to shortcut, we release the target action key if it is currently pressed, and depending on whether all the modifiers of the original shortcut are present in the target, we release the target modifiers that are not common, and set the remaining original shortcut modifiers except the one that was released. We do not need to send the original action key as that will get generate it's own key event if it is held down.
- For remap to shortcut, we release the target action key if it is currently pressed, and depending on whether all the modifiers of the original shortcut are present in the target, we release the target modifiers that are not common, and set the remaining original shortcut modifiers except the one that was released. We do not need to send the original action key as that will get generate its own key event if it is held down.
- For remap to key, we release the target key if it is pressed (and it is not remapped to Disable), and we set the original shortcut modifiers.
- For both the cases we send a dummy key event at the end, since we are setting modifiers without any other key after that, and we reset all the remap variables.
- [**Case 2:**](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L435-L461) If the original shortcut's action key is pressed again, we send the target shortcut's action key or the target key again (or for disable we just suppress the event).

[This method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L754-L809) is used for handling app-specific shortcut to shortcut and shortcut to key remaps. The general logic is as follows:
- Check if the `dwExtraInfo` field is set to `KEYBOARDMANAGER_SHORTCUT_FLAG`. This indicates that the key event was generated by the KBM shortcut remap method using `SendInput`. This ensures that we don't read events generated by the shortcut remap method, but we still read events which are generated by the key remap method.
- Get the name of the process in the foreground. This is done using `GetCurrentApplication` which uses `GetForegroundWindow` to get the window handle and `get_process_path` from the common lib. This approach can fail for UWP apps in full screen, so for that scenario we use the `GetGUIThreadInfo` approach to find the correct window handle, and hence the correct process name. This method is described in more detail [here](keyboardmanagercommon.md#Foreground-app-detection)

This method is [described in more detail](keyboardmanagercommon.md#Foreground-app-detection)
- By checking `KeyboardManagerState.GetActivatedApp` we check if an app-specific shortcut is currently invoked. If so, we consider this application to be the activated app. This is required because some shortcut remaps could cause the current app to lose focus and hence until the shortcut is completely released we should allow that remap to continue, otherwise the user could end up in a state where some keys do not get released. For example: remap <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> to <kbd>Alt+Tab</kbd> for Edge, when a user presses <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> the window loses focus as <kbd>Alt+Tab</kbd> gets executed.
- If there is no app-specific shortcut currently invoked, we check if the foreground process is present in the list of app-specific remaps, either with or without the file extension and caseinsensitive. If it is, this is considered to be the activated app.

This is done to allow users to manually restart KBM if some other application which registers a keyboard hook was launched after PowerToys, so that it can be brought back to the highest priority hook (as the last hook to be registered receives the input first as mentioned [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/winmsg/about-hooks#hook-procedures)).

**Note:** Single key remaps need to be executed before shortcut remaps, because otherwise there can be several logical issues. For example if a user has Ctrl remapped to X and Ctrl+A remapped to Y, we can't detect Ctrl+A because the moment Ctrl is pressed it would be remapped to X before the system ever sees Ctrl+A. This is why the design decision was made to separate Remap keys and Remap shortcuts, and all key remaps are reflected in the shortcut remaps.
## Custom Action to launch KBM UI
KBM uses the [`call_custom_action`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L249-L280) method from the `PowertoyModuleIface` in order to launch the KBM UI when the user clicks the Remap a key or Remap a shortcut button from the KBM settings page. On clicking the button, we check if there is already any active KBM UI window, and if there is it is brought to the foreground. If not, the corresponding KBM UI window is launched on a separate detached thread. The UI is described in more detail [here](keyboardmanagerui.md).

These shortcuts are detected before low level hooks, and hence cause issues while remapping <kbd>Caps Lock</kbd> to <kbd>Shift/Alt/Ctrl</kbd> or vice-versa, as there could be an intermediate state where the system detects both the keys as being pressed.

Since Win doesn't have a non-L/R key code we check this by checking both LWIN and RWIN.

The logic is very similar to that used for FZ's app exception feature, involving `GetForegroundWindow` and `get_process_path`. The one additional case which has been added is for full-screen UWP apps, where the above method fails and returns `ApplicationFrameHost.exe`.
