+### Recommended Order

 10. **Installer & build pipeline** — Update WiX, signing, build events
 11. **Tests** — Adapt for WinUI 3 runtime, async patterns
 
-### Migration Contract: Prohibited Patterns
+### Key Principles
 
-These rules capture human judgment and must be applied consistently across every file. Do NOT deviate.
-
-**Architecture prohibitions:**
-- **Do NOT overwrite `App.xaml` / `App.xaml.cs`** — WinUI 3 has different lifecycle boilerplate. Merge resources and init code into the generated WinUI 3 App class.
-- **Do NOT create Exe→WinExe `ProjectReference`** — Extract shared code to a Library project. Causes phantom build artifacts.
-- **Do NOT instantiate services directly** — Use DI and CommunityToolkit.Mvvm patterns.
-- **Do NOT create a `Window` subclass for every dialog or sub-page** — use `ContentDialog` for in-app dialogs and `Frame`/`Page` navigation for sub-views. Separate `Window` classes are reserved for distinct top-level surfaces (e.g., FancyZones editor, OOBE).
-- **Do NOT omit `WindowsPackageType=None` and `WindowsAppSDKSelfContained=true`** — Both are mandatory in the csproj for every WinUI 3 module in PowerToys. Without them the app crashes at startup with `COMException: ClassFactory cannot supply requested class` because the WinUI 3 runtime DLLs are not found.
-
-**XAML prohibitions:**
-- **Do NOT use `{DynamicResource}`** — Replace with `{ThemeResource}` (theme-reactive) or `{StaticResource}`.
-- **Do NOT use `{Binding}` in `Setter.Value`** — Not supported in WinUI 3. Use `{StaticResource}`.
-- **Do NOT use `{x:Static}`** — Replace with `{x:Bind}`, `x:Uid`, or code-behind.
-- **Do NOT use `{x:Type}`** — Not supported. Use `x:DataType` for DataTemplate, or code-behind.
-- **Do NOT use `clr-namespace:`** — Replace with `using:` in all xmlns declarations.
-- **Do NOT use `Style.Triggers` / `DataTrigger` / `EventTrigger`** — Replace with `VisualStateManager`.
-- **Do NOT use `MultiBinding`** — Replace with `x:Bind` function binding or computed ViewModel property.
-- **Do NOT use `Visibility="Hidden"`** — WinUI only has `Visible` and `Collapsed`. Use `Opacity="0"` if layout must be preserved.
-- **Do NOT use `IsDefault` / `IsCancel`** — Use `AccentButtonStyle` for primary button; handle Enter/Escape in code-behind.
-- **Do NOT omit `BasedOn` when overriding default styles** — Without it, your style replaces the entire default. Always use `BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}"` etc.
-- **Do NOT omit `XamlControlsResources` as first merged dictionary** — It provides default Fluent styles. Without it, controls have no visual appearance.
-
-**Code-behind prohibitions:**
-- **Do NOT use `Application.Current.Dispatcher`** — Store `DispatcherQueue` in a static field explicitly.
-- **Do NOT use `Window.Current`** — Not supported. Use a custom `App.Window` static property.
-- **Do NOT put `DataContext`, `Resources`, or `VisualStateManager` on `Window`** — WinUI 3 `Window` is NOT a `DependencyObject`. Use a root `Page`/`UserControl`/`Grid`.
-- **Do NOT use tunneling/preview events** (`PreviewMouseDown`, `PreviewKeyDown`) — WinUI has no tunneling. Use bubbling equivalents with `Handled` property or `AddHandler(handledEventsToo: true)`.
-
-**Resource prohibitions:**
-- **Do NOT use `Properties.Resources.MyString`** — Replace with `ResourceLoaderInstance.ResourceLoader.GetString("MyString")`.
-- **Do NOT initialize `ResourceLoader`-dependent values as static fields** — Wrap in `Lazy<T>` or null-coalescing property.
-- **Do NOT use `pack://` URIs** — Replace with `ms-appx:///` scheme.
+- **Do NOT overwrite `App.xaml` / `App.xaml.cs`** — WinUI 3 has different application lifecycle boilerplate. Merge your resources and initialization code into the generated WinUI 3 App class.
+- **Do NOT create Exe→WinExe `ProjectReference`** — Extract shared code to a Library project. This causes phantom build artifacts.
+- **Use `Lazy<T>` for resource-dependent statics** — `ResourceLoader` is not available at class-load time in all contexts.
 
 ## Quick Reference Tables
 
 ### Namespace Mapping
 
-| WPF | WinUI 3 | Notes |
-|-----|---------|-------|
-| `System.Windows` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml` | Root namespace |
-| `System.Windows.Controls` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls` | Core controls |
-| `System.Windows.Controls.Primitives` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives` | Low-level primitives |
-| `System.Windows.Media` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media` | Brushes, transforms |
-| `System.Windows.Media.Animation` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.Animation` | Storyboard, animations |
-| `System.Windows.Media.Imaging` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging` (UI) / `Windows.Graphics.Imaging` (processing) | Split by purpose |
-| `System.Windows.Media.Media3D` | **No equivalent** | Use Win2D or Composition APIs |
-| `System.Windows.Shapes` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Shapes` | Rectangle, Ellipse, Path |
-| `System.Windows.Input` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Input` | Pointer, keyboard, focus |
-| `System.Windows.Data` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Data` | Binding, IValueConverter |
-| `System.Windows.Documents` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Documents` | Limited — RichTextBlock + Paragraph |
-| `System.Windows.Markup` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Markup` | XAML parsing, markup extensions |
-| `System.Windows.Automation` | `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Automation` | Accessibility / UI Automation |
-| `System.Windows.Navigation` | **No direct equivalent** | Use `Frame.Navigate()` |
-| `System.Windows.Threading` | `Microsoft.UI.Dispatching` | Dispatcher → DispatcherQueue |
-| `System.Windows.Interop` | `WinRT.Interop` / `Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Hosting` | HWND interop |
-
-### Control Replacements (No 1:1 Mapping)
-
-These WPF controls have no direct counterpart and require a different control or third-party package:
-
-| WPF Control | WinUI 3 Replacement | Notes |
-|-------------|---------------------|-------|
-| `DataGrid` | [`WinUI.TableView`](https://github.com/w-ahmad/WinUI.TableView) | Community library; the Toolkit `DataGrid` is no longer maintained. Legacy code may still pin v7 `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.UI.Controls.DataGrid` 7.1.2 |
-| `Ribbon` | `CommandBar` / `NavigationView`, or [Toolkit Labs Ribbon](https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Labs-Windows/tree/main/components/Ribbon) | No first-party Ribbon in WinUI; Labs component is experimental/partial |
-| `Menu` / `MenuItem` | `MenuBar` / `MenuBarItem` / `MenuFlyout` | `MenuBar` for classic menu, `MenuFlyout` for context |
-| `ContextMenu` | `MenuFlyout` | Assign to `ContextFlyout` property |
-| `ToolBar` / `ToolBarTray` | `CommandBar` + `AppBarButton` | |
-| `StatusBar` | Custom `Grid`/`StackPanel` or `InfoBar` | No StatusBar control |
-| `TabControl` | `TabView` or `NavigationView` (top mode) | `TabView` for closeable tabs |
-| `DocumentViewer` | `WebView2` | Render PDFs/XPS inside WebView2 |
-| `FlowDocument` | `RichTextBlock` | Partial replacement only |
-| `RichTextBox` | `RichEditBox` | Rich text editing |
-| `GroupBox` | `Expander` (built-in) or `HeaderedContentControl` (Toolkit) | See [Layout & Header Controls from CommunityToolkit.WinUI](#layout--header-controls-from-communitytoolkitwinui) below |
-| `Label` | `TextBlock` | WPF `Label` is a `ContentControl`; use `TextBlock` + `AccessKey` |
-| `TreeView` | `TreeView` (native) | Available natively, but data binding model differs significantly |
-| `MessageBox` | `ContentDialog` | Must set `XamlRoot` before `ShowAsync()` |
-| `MediaElement` | `MediaPlayerElement` | Different API |
-| `AccessText` | Not available | Use `AccessKey` property on target control |
-
-### Layout & Header Controls from CommunityToolkit.WinUI
-
-These WPF controls have no built-in WinUI 3 equivalent — install the corresponding CommunityToolkit package. **The NuGet package id and the XAML namespace differ intentionally**: package names end in `.Primitives` / `.HeaderedControls`, but the registered XAML namespace is the shorter `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls` (confirmed in the [official Microsoft Q&A](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5746230/why-does-communitytoolkit-uwp-controls-primitive-u)).
-
-| WPF Control | WinUI 3 Replacement | NuGet Package | XAML Namespace |
-|-------------|---------------------|---------------|----------------|
-| `WrapPanel` | `WrapPanel` | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls.Primitives` | `using:CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls` |
-| `UniformGrid` | `UniformGrid` | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls.Primitives` | `using:CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls` |
-| `DockPanel` | `DockPanel` | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls.Primitives` | `using:CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls` |
-| `GroupBox` (alt.) | `HeaderedContentControl` | `CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls.HeaderedControls` | `using:CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controls` |
-
-### No Equivalent — Requires Architectural Rework
-
-These WPF features have no WinUI counterpart and require redesign, not find-and-replace:
-
-| WPF Feature | WinUI 3 Replacement Strategy |
-|-------------|------------------------------|
-| `Style.Triggers` / `DataTrigger` | `VisualStateManager` with `StateTrigger` — see [XAML Migration](./references/xaml-migration.md) |
-| `MultiBinding` | `x:Bind` function binding: `{x:Bind local:Converters.Format(VM.A, VM.B), Mode=OneWay}` |
-| `RoutedUICommand` / `CommandBinding` | `ICommand` / `[RelayCommand]` from CommunityToolkit.Mvvm. WinUI also has `StandardUICommand` / `XamlUICommand` for platform commands. |
-| `AdornerLayer` / `Adorner` | Depends on use case: `TeachingTip`/`InfoBar` (validation), `Popup` (overlays), `PlaceholderText` (watermarks), Canvas overlay (decorations) |
-| `Visibility.Hidden` | `Opacity="0"` with `Visibility="Visible"` (preserves layout space) |
-| `Window.Resources` / `Window.DataContext` | Move to root `Grid.Resources` / root `Page`/`UserControl` — WinUI `Window` is NOT a DependencyObject |
-| Tunneling events (`Preview*`) | Use bubbling equivalents + `Handled` property or `AddHandler(handledEventsToo: true)` |
+| WPF | WinUI 3 |

+| `MouseLeftButtonDown` | `PointerPressed` | Mouse → Pointer events |
 | `Pack URI (pack://...)` | `ms-appx:///` | Resource URI scheme |
 | `Observable` (custom base) | `ObservableObject` + `[ObservableProperty]` | CommunityToolkit.Mvvm |
 | `RelayCommand` (custom) | `[RelayCommand]` source generator | CommunityToolkit.Mvvm |
 | `JpegBitmapEncoder` | `BitmapEncoder.CreateAsync(JpegEncoderId, stream)` | Async, unified API |
 | `encoder.QualityLevel = 85` | `BitmapPropertySet { "ImageQuality", 0.85f }` | int 1-100 → float 0-1 |
 
-### Event Replacements (Mouse → Pointer)
-
-| WPF Event | WinUI 3 Event | Notes |

-| `ContextMenu=` | `ContextFlyout=` | On any `UIElement` |
-| `MediaElement` | `MediaPlayerElement` | Different API |

-## No-Equivalent Patterns (Requires Architectural Rework)
-
-These WPF features demand design changes, not find-and-replace. Read this section BEFORE attempting to migrate any file that uses these patterns.
-
-### MultiBinding → x:Bind Function Binding
-
-WinUI does not support `MultiBinding`. Replace with `x:Bind` function binding (most direct replacement), a computed ViewModel property, or multiple simple bindings.
-
-**WPF:**
-```xml
-<TextBlock>
-    <TextBlock.Text>
-        <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}{0} {1}">
-            <Binding Path="FirstName" />
-            <Binding Path="LastName" />
-        </MultiBinding>
-    </TextBlock.Text>
-</TextBlock>
-```
-
-**WinUI 3:**
-```xml
-<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind local:Converters.FormatFullName(ViewModel.FirstName, ViewModel.LastName), Mode=OneWay}" />
-```
-
-```csharp
-public static class Converters
-{
-    public static string FormatFullName(string first, string last) => $"{first} {last}";
-}
-```
-
-### Adorners → Context-Dependent Replacements
-
-WPF's `AdornerLayer` has no WinUI equivalent. Choose replacement by use case:
-
-| Adorner Use Case | WinUI 3 Replacement |
-|------------------|---------------------|
-| Validation indicators | `TeachingTip`, `InfoBar`, or InputValidation templates |
-| Resize handles | `Popup` positioned relative to target |
-| Drag preview | `DragItemsStarting` event with custom DragUI |
-| Overlay decorations | Canvas overlay or Popup layer |
-| Watermark / Placeholder | `TextBox.PlaceholderText` (built-in) |
-
-### RoutedUICommand → ICommand / RelayCommand
-
-WinUI does not support routed commands or `CommandBinding`. Replace with standard `ICommand` pattern:
-
-```csharp
-// CommunityToolkit.Mvvm
-[RelayCommand(CanExecute = nameof(CanSave))]
-private void Save() { /* save logic */ }
-private bool CanSave() => IsDirty;
-```
-
-WinUI 3 also provides `StandardUICommand` and `XamlUICommand` for pre-defined platform commands (Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete) with built-in icons and keyboard accelerators.
-
-### Tunneling / Preview Events
-
-WinUI has no tunneling event model. `PreviewMouseDown`, `PreviewKeyDown`, etc. do not exist.
-
-- Replace with the bubbling equivalent (`PointerPressed`, `KeyDown`)
-- If you relied on tunneling to intercept events before children, restructure using the `Handled` property
-- For must-handle scenarios, use `AddHandler` with `handledEventsToo: true`:
-```csharp
-myElement.AddHandler(UIElement.PointerPressedEvent,
-    new PointerEventHandler(OnPointerPressed), handledEventsToo: true);
-```
-
 ## Style and Template Changes
 
-### Implicit Styles — Always Use BasedOn
-
-> **Warning:** In WinUI 3, always use `BasedOn` when overriding default control styles. Without it, your style **replaces the entire default style** rather than extending it.
-
-```xml
-<!-- WRONG — replaces entire default style, control may lose all visual appearance -->
-<Style TargetType="Button">
-    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
-</Style>
-
-<!-- CORRECT — extends the default style -->
-<Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}">
-    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
-</Style>
-```
-
 ### Triggers → VisualStateManager
 
-WPF `Triggers`, `DataTriggers`, and `EventTriggers` are not supported. Two replacement approaches:
-
-#### Approach 1: StateTrigger (direct DataTrigger replacement — simpler)
-
-Use this for data-driven state changes. This is the closest equivalent to WPF `DataTrigger`:
-
-**WPF:**
-```xml
-<Style TargetType="Border">
-    <Style.Triggers>
-        <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsActive}" Value="True">
-            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Green" />
-        </DataTrigger>
-    </Style.Triggers>
-</Style>
-```
-
-**WinUI 3:**
-```xml
-<Border x:Name="MyBorder">
-    <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
-        <VisualStateGroup>
-            <VisualState x:Name="Active">
-                <VisualState.StateTriggers>
-                    <StateTrigger IsActive="{x:Bind ViewModel.IsActive, Mode=OneWay}" />
-                </VisualState.StateTriggers>
-                <VisualState.Setters>
-                    <Setter Target="MyBorder.Background" Value="Green" />
-                </VisualState.Setters>
-            </VisualState>
-        </VisualStateGroup>
-    </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
-</Border>
-```
-
-Note: `VisualStateManager` must be placed on a control inside the Window, NOT on the Window itself.
-
-#### Approach 2: ControlTemplate (for property triggers like IsMouseOver)
-
-Use this when replacing `<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver">` or similar control-state triggers:

-## Visibility.Hidden — No Equivalent
-
-WinUI only has `Visible` and `Collapsed`. There is no `Hidden`.

-| WPF | WinUI 3 | Behavior |
-|-----|---------|----------|
-| `Visibility.Visible` | `Visibility.Visible` | Rendered and occupies layout space |
-| `Visibility.Hidden` | **Not available** | Use `Opacity="0"` with `Visibility="Visible"` to hide but keep layout |

 ## Resource Dictionary Changes
 
-### XamlControlsResources Must Be First
+### Window.Resources → Grid.Resources
 
-> **Warning:** `XamlControlsResources` must be the **first** merged dictionary in `App.xaml`. It provides the default Fluent styles. Omitting it gives you controls with no visual appearance. Resource paths use `ms-appx:///` instead of relative paths.
-
-```xml
-<Application.Resources>
-    <ResourceDictionary>
-        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
-            <!-- MUST be first -->
-            <XamlControlsResources xmlns="using:Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls" />
-            <!-- Then your custom dictionaries -->
-            <ResourceDictionary Source="ms-appx:///Styles/Colors.xaml" />
-        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
-    </ResourceDictionary>
-</Application.Resources>
-```
-
-### Window.Resources → Grid.Resources (or use Page)
-
-WinUI 3 `Window` is NOT a `FrameworkElement` — no `Window.Resources`, `DataContext`, or `VisualStateManager`.
-
-**Preferred approach:** Use the [Page-in-Window architecture](#recommended-page-in-window-architecture) described above. A `Page` inside the `Window` gives you full `FrameworkElement` capabilities (Resources, DataContext, x:Bind, VisualStateManager).
-
-**Fallback** (for simple windows without a Page):

+## Code Structure
 
-## Project Structure
+![Diagram](../images/shortcutguide/diagram.png)
 
-The Shortcut Guide module consists of the following 4 projects:
+### Core Files
 
-### [`ShortcutGuide.Ui`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.Ui/ShortcutGuide.Ui.csproj
+#### [`dllmain.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/dllmain.cpp)
+Contains DLL boilerplate code. Implements the PowertoyModuleIface, including enable/disable functionality and GPO policy handling. Captures hotkey events and starts the PowerToys.ShortcutGuide.exe process to display the shortcut guide window.
 
-This is the main UI project for the Shortcut Guide module. Upon startup it does the following tasks:
+#### [`shortcut_guide.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/shortcut_guide.cpp)
+Contains the module interface code. It initializes the settings values and the keyboard event listener. Defines the OverlayWindow class, which manages the overall logic and event handling for the PowerToys Shortcut Guide.
 
-1. Copies the built-in manifest files to the users manifest directory (overwriting existing files).
-2. Generate the `index.yml` manifest file.
-3. Populate the PowerToys shortcut manifest with the user-defined shortcuts.
-4. Starts the UI.
+#### [`overlay_window.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/overlay_window.cpp)
+Contains the code for loading the SVGs, creating and rendering of the overlay window. Manages and displays overlay windows with SVG graphics through two main classes:
+- D2DOverlaySVG: Handles loading, resizing, and manipulation of SVG graphics
+- D2DOverlayWindow: Manages the display and behavior of the overlay window
 
-### Related files in PowerToys.Interop
+#### [`keyboard_state.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/keyboard_state.cpp)
+Contains helper methods for checking the current state of the keyboard.
 
-#### [`excluded_app.cpp`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.CPPProject/excluded_app.cpp)
+#### [`target_state.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/target_state.cpp)
+State machine that handles the keyboard events. It's responsible for deciding when to show the overlay, when to suppress the Start menu (if the overlay is displayed long enough), etc. Handles state transitions and synchronization to ensure the overlay is shown or hidden appropriately based on user interactions.
 
-This file contains one function with the following signature:
+#### [`trace.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/trace.cpp)
+Contains code for telemetry.
 
-```cpp
-__declspec(dllexport) bool IsCurrentWindowExcludedFromShortcutGuide()
-```
+### Supporting Files
 
-This function checks if the current window is excluded from the Shortcut Guide overlay. It returns `true` if the current window is excluded otherwise it returns `false`.
+#### [`animation.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/animation.cpp)
+Handles the timing and interpolation of animations. Calculates the current value of an animation based on elapsed time and a specified easing function.
 
-#### [`tasklist_positions.cpp`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.CPPProject/tasklist_positions.cpp)
+#### [`d2d_svg.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/d2d_svg.cpp)
+Provides functionality for loading, resizing, recoloring, rendering, and manipulating SVG images using Direct2D.
 
-This file contains helper functions to retrieve the positions of the taskbar buttons. It exports the following function:
+#### [`d2d_text.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/d2d_text.cpp)
+Handles creation, resizing, alignment, and rendering of text using Direct2D and DirectWrite.
 
-```cpp
-__declspec(dllexport) TasklistButton* get_buttons(HMONITOR monitor, int* size)
-```
+#### [`d2d_window.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/d2d_window.cpp)
+Manages a window using Direct2D and Direct3D for rendering. Handles window creation, resizing, rendering, and destruction.
 
-This function retrieves the positions of the taskbar buttons for a given monitor. It returns an array of `TasklistButton` structures (max 10), which contain the position and size of each button.
+#### [`native_event_waiter.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/native_event_waiter.cpp)
+Waits for a named event and executes a specified action when the event is triggered. Uses a separate thread to handle event waiting and action execution.
 
-`monitor` must be the monitor handle of the monitor containing the taskbar instance of which the buttons should be retrieved.
+#### [`tasklist_positions.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/tasklist_positions.cpp)
+Handles retrieving and updating the positions and information of taskbar buttons in Windows.
 
-`size` will contain the resulting array size.
-
-It determines the positions through Windows `FindWindowEx` function.
-For the primary taskbar it searches for:
-* A window called "Shell_TrayWnd"
-* that contains a window called "ReBarWindow32"
-* that contains a window called "MSTaskSwWClass"
-* that contains a window called "MSTaskListWClass"
-
-For any secondary taskbar it searches for:
-* A window called "Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd"
-* that contains a window called "WorkerW"
-* that contains a window called "MSTaskListWClass"
-
-It then enumerates all the button elements inside "MSTaskListWClass" while skipping such with a same name (which implies the user does not use combining taskbar buttons) 
-
-If this method fails, which it will for newer versions of Windows, it falls back to searching for:
-* A window called "Shell_TrayWnd" or "Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd"
-* that contains a window called "Windows.UI.Composition.DesktopWindowContentBridge"
-* that contains a window called "Windows.UI.Input.InputSite.WindowClass"
-* the first child element
-
-It then enumerates all the button elements inside the selected while skipping such with a same name (which implies the user does not use combining taskbar buttons) and such that do not start with "Appid:" (which are not actual taskbar buttons related to apps, but others like the widgets or the search button).
-
-### [`ShortcutGuide.IndexYmlGenerator`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuide.IndexYmlGenerator/)
-
-This application generates the `index.yml` manifest file.
-
-It is a separate project so that its code can be easier ported to WinGet in the future.
-
-### [`ShortcutGuideModuleInterface`](/src/modules/ShortcutGuide/ShortcutGuideModuleInterface/ShortcutGuideModuleInterface.vcxproj)
-
-The module interface that handles opening and closing the user interface.
+#### [`main.cpp`](/src/modules/shortcut_guide/main.cpp)
+The entry point for the PowerToys Shortcut Guide application. Handles initialization, ensures single instance execution, manages parent process termination, creates and displays the overlay window, and runs the main event loop.
 
 ## Features and Limitations
 
-- Currently the displayed shortcuts (Except the ones from PowerToys) are not localized.
+- The overlay displays Windows shortcuts (Windows key combinations)
+- The module supports localization, but only for the Windows controls on the left side of the overlay
 - It's currently rated as a P3 (lower priority) module
 
 ## Future Development
 
-- Implementing with WinGet to get new shortcut manifest files
-- Adding localization support for the built-in manifest files
+A community-contributed version 2 is in development that will support:
+- Application-specific shortcuts based on the active application
+- Additional shortcuts beyond Windows key combinations
+- PowerToys shortcuts

-This spec provides an extension to the existing [WinGet manifest schema](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/doc/manifest/README.md) in form of an additional yaml file, that describes keyboard shortcuts the application provides.
-
-These yaml files are saved on a per-user base and so called manifest interpreters can then display these manifests in a human-friendly version.
-
-### 1.1 What this spec is not about
-
-This spec does not provide a way to back up or save user-defined keyboard shortcuts.
-
-## 2 Save location of manifests
-
-### 2.1 WinGet 
-
-These files are saved online along with the other manifest files in the [WinGet Package repository](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs).
-
-### 2.2 Locally
-
-All manifests and one index file are saved locally under `%LocalAppData%/Microsoft/WinGet/KeyboardShortcuts`. All apps are allowed to add their manifest files there. In addition Package Managers (like WinGet) and manifest interpreters (like PowerToys Shortcut Guide) can control and add other manifests themselves.
-
-#### 2.2.1 Downloading manifests
-
-When WinGet or other package managers download a package, they should also download the corresponding keyboard shortcuts manifest file and save it in the local directory, given such a file exists in the WinGet repository.
-
-The downloader is also responsible for updating the local `index.yaml` file, which contains all the information about the different manifest files that are saved in the same directory.
-
-#### 2.2.2 Updating manifests
-
-When a manifest interpreter starts, it should download the latest version of the manifests from the WinGet repository and save them in the local directory. If a manifest interpreter is not able to download the manifests or they do not exist, it should use the locally saved manifests.
-
-The updater is also responsible for updating the local `index.yaml` file, which contains all the information about the different manifest files that are saved in the same directory.
-
-> Note: WinGet must provide a way to update the keyboard shortcuts manifests given a package id.
-
-### 2.3 File names
-
-The file name of a keyboard shortcuts file is the WinGet package identifier, plus the locale of the strings of the file and at last the `.KBSC.yaml` file extension.
-
-For example the package "test.bar" saves its manifest with `en-US` strings in `test.bar.en-US.KBSC.yaml`.
-
-#### 2.3.1 No winget package available
-
-If an application has no corresponding WinGet package its name starts with a plus (`+`) symbol.
-
-### 2.4 Reserved namespaces
-
-Every name starting with `+WindowsNT` is reserved for the Windows OS and its components.
-
-## 3 File syntax
-
-All relevant files are written in [YAML](https://yaml.org/spec).
-
-> Note: A JSON schema will be provided as soon as the spec reaches a further step
-
-### 3.1 Manifest Schema vNext Keyboard Shortcuts File

-
-Per Application/Package one or more Keyboard manifests can be declared. Every manifest must have a different locale and the same `PackageName`, `WindowFilter` and `BackgroundProcess` fields.
-
-<details>
- <summary><b>PackageName</b> - The package unique identifier</summary>
-
- Package identifier (see 2.1 for more information on the package identifier).
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
- <summary><b>WindowFilter</b> - The filter of window processes to which the shortcuts apply to</summary>
-
- This field declares for which process name the shortcuts should be shown (To rephrase: For which processes the shortcut will have an effect if pressed). The value can be either an exact process executable name, for example `explorer.exe` or `chrome.exe`, or a single asterisk (`*`) to apply to any process. No other wildcard patterns are supported by this specification.
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
- <summary><b>BackgroundProcess</b> - Optionally allows applying WindowFilter to background processes.</summary>
-
- **Optional field**
-
- Defaults to `False`. Determines if WindowFilter should apply to background processes as well (Rephrased: When the process is running, the shortcuts will apply).
