+# PowerToys Contributor's Guide
+
+Below is our guidance for how to report issues, propose new features, and submit contributions via Pull Requests (PRs). Our philosophy is heavily based around understanding the problem and scenarios first, this is why we follow this pattern before work has started.
+
+1. There is an issue
+2. There has been a conversation
+3. There is agreement on the problem, the fit for PowerToys, and the solution to the problem (implementation)
+
+## Filing an issue
+
+Please follow this simple rule to help us eliminate any unnecessary wasted effort & frustration, and ensure an efficient and effective use of everyone's time - yours, ours, and other community members':
+
+> 👉 If you have a question, think you've discovered an issue, would like to propose a new feature, etc., then find/file an issue **BEFORE** starting work to fix/implement it.
+
+When requesting new features / enhancements, understanding problem and scenario around it is extremely important. Having additional evidence, data, tweets, blog posts, research, ... anything is extremely helpful.  This information provides context to the scenario that may otherwise be lost.
+
+* Don't know whether you're reporting an issue or requesting a feature? File an issue
+* Have a question that you don't see answered in docs, videos, etc.? File an issue
+* Want to know if we're planning on building a particular feature? File an issue
+* Got a great idea for a new utility or feature? File an issue/request/idea
+* Don't understand how to do something? File an issue/Community Guidance Request
+* Found an existing issue that describes yours? Great - upvote and add additional commentary / info / repro-steps / etc.
+
+A quick search before filing an issue also could be helpful. It is likely someone else has found the problem you're seeing, and someone may be working on or have already contributed a fix!
+
+### How to tell the PowerToys team this is an interesting thing to focus on
+
+Upvote the original issue by clicking its [+😊] button and hitting 👍 (+1) icon or a different one. This way allows us to measure how impactful different issues are compared to others. The issue with comments like "+1", "me too", or similar is they actually make it harder to have a conversation and harder to quickly determine trending important requests.
+
+---
+
+## Contributing fixes / features
+
+Please comment on an issue to let us know you're interested in working on something before you start the work. Not only does this avoid multiple people unexpectedly working on the same thing at the same time but it enables us to make sure everyone is clear on what should be done to implement any new functionality. It's less work for everyone, in the long run, to establish this up front.
+
+### To Spec or not to Spec
+
+A key point is for everyone to understand the approach that will be taken. We want to be sure if anyone does work, we will accept it in. Items that are larger in scope we'll want some type of spec to understand what is being planned and have a discussion. Specs help collaborators discuss different approaches to solve a problem, describe how the feature will behave, how the feature will impact the user, what happens if something goes wrong, etc. Driving towards agreement in a spec, before any code is written, often results in simpler code, and less wasted effort in the long run.
+
+For such scenarios, once a team member has agreed with your approach, skip ahead to the section headed "Development" section below.
+
+Team members will be happy to help review specs and guide them to completion.
+
+### Help Wanted
+
+Once the team has approved an issue/spec approach to solving, development can proceed. If no developers are immediately available, the spec can be parked ready for a developer to get started. Parked specs' issues will be labeled "Help Wanted". To find a list of development opportunities waiting for developer involvement, visit the Issues and filter on [the Help-Wanted label](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/labels/Help%20Wanted).
+
+---
+
+## Development
+
+Follow the [development guidelines](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/readme.md).
+
+### Naming of features and functionality
+
+Naming should be descriptive and straight forward.  We want names to be clear about functionality and usefulness moving forward. 
+
+### How can I become a collaborator on the PowerToys team
+
+Be a great community member. Just help out a lot and make useful additions, filing bugs/suggestions, help develop fixes and features, code reviews, and always, docs. Lets continue to make the PowerToys repository a great spot to learn and make a great set of utilities.
+
+When the time comes, Microsoft will reach out and help make you a formal team member. Just make sure they can reach out to you :)
+
+---
+
+## Thank you
+
+Thank you in advance for your contribution!

-Microsoft PowerToys is a set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience for greater productivity. Inspired by the [Windows 95 era PowerToys project](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_PowerToys), this reboot provides power users with ways to squeeze more efficiency out of the Windows 10 shell and customize it for individual workflows.  A great overview of the Windows 95 PowerToys can be found [here](https://socket3.wordpress.com/2016/10/22/using-windows-95-powertoys/).

+
+## Installing and running Microsoft PowerToys
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Windows 11 or Windows 10 version 2004 (code name 20H1 / build number 19041) or newer.
+- Our installer will install the following items:
+   - [.NET 6.0.8 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/6.0#runtime-desktop-6.0.8) or a newer 6.0.x runtime.
+   - [Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=2124703) bootstrapper. This will install the latest version.
+   - [Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable](https://docs.microsoft.com/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2015-2017-2019-and-2022) installer. This will install one of the latest versions available.
+
+### Via GitHub with EXE [Recommended]
+
+ [Microsoft PowerToys GitHub releases page][github-release-link], click on `Assets` at the bottom to show the files available in the release. Please use the appropriate the PowerToys installer that matches your machine's architecture.  For most people, it is `x64`.
+ 
+ - **For x64 processors (most common):** [PowerToysSetup-0.62.0-x64.exe](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/download/v0.62.0/PowerToysSetup-0.62.0-x64.exe)
+ - **For ARM64 processors:** [PowerToysSetup-0.62.0-arm64.exe](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/download/v0.62.0/PowerToysSetup-0.62.0-arm64.exe)
 
 This is our preferred method.
 
+### Via Microsoft Store
+
+Install from the [Microsoft Store's PowerToys page][microsoft-store-link]. You must be using the [new Microsoft Store](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsExperience/2021/06/24/building-a-new-open-microsoft-store-on-windows-11/) which will be available for both Windows 11 and Windows 10.
+
+### Via WinGet (Preview)
+Download PowerToys from [WinGet][winget-link]. To install PowerToys, run the following command from the command line / PowerShell:
+
+```powershell
+winget install Microsoft.PowerToys -s winget
+```
+
 ### Other install methods
 
-##### MSIX / Store Build Update
-
-- We put in a lot of effort here but currently our plan of record is to make the MSI our only installer option and built-in auto-upgrade. MSIX is a great installer / container tech but there are few spots we are working with the team to improve so we can adopt.
-
-#### Via Chocolatey - ⚠ Unofficial ⚠
-
-Download and upgrade PowerToys from [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org). If you have any issues when installing/upgrading the package please go to the [package page](https://chocolatey.org/packages/powertoys) and follow the [Chocolatey triage process](https://chocolatey.org/docs/package-triage-process)
-
-To install PowerToys, run the following command from the command line / PowerShell:
-
-```powershell
-choco install powertoys
-```
-
-To upgrade PowerToys, run the following command from the command line / PowerShell:

-## Current PowerToy Utilities
-
-### FancyZones
-
-[FancyZones](/src/modules/fancyzones/) - FancyZones is a window manager that makes it easy to create complex window layouts and quickly position windows into those layouts.
-
-### Shortcut Guide
-
-[Windows key shortcut guide](/src/modules/shortcut_guide) - The shortcut guide appears when a user holds the Windows key down for more than one second and shows the available shortcuts for the current state of the desktop.
-
-### PowerRename
-
-[PowerRename](/src/modules/powerrename) - PowerRename is a Windows Shell Extension for advanced bulk renaming using search and replace or regular expressions. PowerRename allows simple search and replace or more advanced regular expression matching. While you type in the search and replace input fields, the preview area will show what the items will be renamed to. PowerRename then calls into the Windows Explorer file operations engine to perform the rename. This has the benefit of allowing the rename operation to be undone after PowerRename exits.
-
-This code is based on [Chris Davis's SmartRename](https://github.com/chrdavis/SmartRename).
-
-### File Explorer (Preview Panes)
-
-[File Explorer](/src/modules/previewpane) add-ons right now are just limited to Preview Pane additions for File Explorer. Preview Pane is an existing feature in the File Explorer.  To enable it, you just click the View tab in the ribbon and then click "Preview Pane".
-
-PowerToys will now enable two types of files to be previewed:
-
-- Markdown files (.md)
-- SVG (.svg)
-
-### Image Resizer
-
-[Image Resizer](/src/modules/imageresizer) is a Windows Shell Extension for quickly resizing images.  With a simple right click from File Explorer, resize one or many images instantly. 
-
-This code is based on [Brice Lambson's Image Resizer](https://github.com/bricelam/ImageResizer).
-
-### Window Walker (Text based alt-tab alternative)
-
-[Window Walker](src/modules/windowwalker/) is an app that lets you search and switch between windows that you have open, all from the comfort of your keyboard. As you are searching for an app, you can use the keyboard up and down arrows to see an Alt-Tab style preview of the windows.  In the future, this will be merged into the Launcher project.  
-
-This code is based on [Beta Tadele's Window Walker](https://github.com/betsegaw/windowwalker).
-
-### Version 1.0 plan
-
-Our plan for all the [goals and utilities for v1.0 detailed over here in the wiki][v1].
-
-## What's Happening
-
-### March 2020 Update
-
-Our mantra for the 0.16 was adding in new features along with a continual push for quality and stability.  We are working toward getting a way to auto-update PowerToys and have a good plan for this.  We want to proactively thank the community for quickly identifying a few bugs inside 0.15 and allowing us to quickly release 0.15.1 and 0.15.2.
-

-  - Image Resizer Window Shell extension
-  - Window Walker, an alt-tab alternative
-- Fixed over 100 issues!

-  - 161 new Unit tests
-
-For [0.17](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F3), we are proactively working on:
-
-- Auto-updating
-- Win+R replacement (Launcher)
-- Keyboard remapping
-- Performance improvements with FancyZones

+Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.
+
+### 0.62 - August 2022 Update
+
+In this release, we focused on releasing three new PowerToys.

+- Fixed an issue where the FancyZones Editor would duplicate or edit the wrong layout.
+- Fixed an issue that caused canvas layout width/height to be changed without even opening the layout in FancyZones Editor.
+
+### File explorer add-ons
+

-# Power Toys Contributor's Guide
-
-Below is our guidance for how to report issues, propose new features, and submit contributions via Pull Requests (PRs).
-
-## Before you start, file an issue
-
-Please follow this simple rule to help us eliminate any unnecessary wasted effort & frustration, and ensure an efficient and effective use of everyone's time - yours, ours, and other community members':
-
-> 👉 If you have a question, think you've discovered an issue, would like to propose a new feature, etc., then find/file an issue **BEFORE** starting work to fix/implement it.
-
-### Search existing issues first
-
-Before filing a new issue, search existing open and closed issues first: It is likely someone else has found the problem you're seeing, and someone may be working on or have already contributed a fix!
-
-If no existing item describes your issue/feature, great - please file a new issue:
-
-### File a new Issue
-
-* Don't know whether you're reporting an issue or requesting a feature? File an issue
-* Have a question that you don't see answered in docs, videos, etc.? File an issue
-* Want to know if we're planning on building a particular feature? File an issue
-* Got a great idea for a new utility or feature? File an issue/request/idea
-* Don't understand how to do something? File an issue/Community Guidance Request
-* Found an existing issue that describes yours? Great - upvote and add additional commentary / info / repro-steps / etc.
-
-### Complete the template
-
-**Please include as much information as possible in your issue**. The more information you provide, the more likely your issue/ask will be understood and implemented. Helpful information includes:
-
-* What device you're running (inc. CPU type, memory, disk, etc.)
-* What build of Windows your device is running
-
-  👉 Tip: Run the following in PowerShell Core
-
-  ```powershell
-  C:\> $PSVersionTable.OS
-  Microsoft Windows 10.0.18909
-  ```
-
-  ... or in Windows PowerShell
-
-  ```powershell
-  C:\> $PSVersionTable.BuildVersion
-
-  Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-  -----  -----  -----  --------
-  10     0      18912  1001
-  ```
-
-  ... or Cmd:
-
-  ```cmd
-  C:\> ver
-
-  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18900.1001]
-  ```
-
-* What tools and apps you're using (e.g. VS 2019, VSCode, etc.)
-* Don't assume we're experts in setting up YOUR environment and don't assume we are experts in YOUR workflow. Teach us to help you!
-* **We LOVE detailed repro steps!** What steps do we need to take to reproduce the issue? Assume we love to read repro steps. As much detail as you can stand is probably _barely_ enough detail for us!
-* Prefer error message text where possible or screenshots of errors if text cannot be captured
-* **If you intend to implement the fix/feature yourself then say so!** If you do not indicate otherwise we will assume that the issue is our to solve, or may label the issue as `Help-Wanted`.
-
-### DO NOT post "+1" comments
-
-> ⚠ DO NOT post "+1", "me too", or similar comments - they just add noise to an issue.
-
-If you don't have any additional info/context to add but would like to indicate that you're affected by the issue, upvote the original issue by clicking its [+😊] button and hitting 👍 (+1) icon. This way we can actually measure how impactful an issue is.
-

-
-## Contributing fixes / features
-
-For those able & willing to help fix issues and/or implement features ...
-
-### To Spec or not to Spec
-
-Some issues/features may be quick and simple to describe and understand. For such scenarios, once a team member has agreed with your approach, skip ahead to the section headed "Fork, Branch, and Create your PR", below.
-
-Small issues that do not require a spec will be labelled Issue-Bug or Issue-Task.
-
-However, some issues/features will require careful thought & formal design before implementation. For these scenarios, we'll request that a spec is written and the associated issue will be labeled Issue-Feature.
-
-Specs help collaborators discuss different approaches to solve a problem, describe how the feature will behave, how the feature will impact the user, what happens if something goes wrong, etc. Driving towards agreement in a spec, before any code is written, often results in simpler code, and less wasted effort in the long run.
-
-Specs will be managed in a very similar manner as code contributions so please follow the "Fork, Branch and Create your PR" below.
-
-### Writing / Contributing-to a Spec
-
-To write/contribute to a spec: fork, branch and commit via PRs, as you would with any code changes.
-
-Specs are written in markdown, stored under the `doc/specs` folder and named `[issue id] - [spec description].md`.
-
-👉 **It is important to follow the spec templates and complete the requested information**. The available spec templates will help ensure that specs contain the minimum information & decisions necessary to permit development to begin. In particular, specs require you to confirm that you've already discussed the issue/idea with the team in an issue and that you provide the issue ID for reference.
-
-Team members will be happy to help review specs and guide them to completion.
-
-### Help Wanted
-
-Once the team have approved an issue/spec, development can proceed. If no developers are immediately available, the spec can be parked ready for a developer to get started. Parked specs' issues will be labeled "Help Wanted". To find a list of development opportunities waiting for developer involvement, visit the Issues and filter on [the Help-Wanted label](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/labels/Help-Wanted).
-
----
-
-## Development
-
-### Fork, Clone, Branch and Create your PR
-
-Once you've discussed your proposed feature/fix/etc. with a team member, and you've agreed an approach or a spec has been written and approved, it's time to start development:
-
-1. Fork the repo if you haven't already
-1. Clone your fork locally
-1. Create & push a feature branch
-1. Create a [Draft Pull Request (PR)](https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/)
-1. Work on your changes
-
-### Code Review
-
-When you'd like the team to take a look, (even if the work is not yet fully-complete), mark the PR as 'Ready For Review' so that the team can review your work and provide comments, suggestions, and request changes. It may take several cycles, but the end result will be solid, testable, conformant code that is safe for us to merge.
-
-### Merge
-
-Once your code has been reviewed and approved by the requisite number of team members, it will be merged into the master branch. Once merged, your PR will be automatically closed.
-

-Thank you in advance for your contribution!

+# How to integrate new MSIX module with PowerToys Settings and WiX installer
+[`issue_11705_with_example` branch](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/issue_11705_with_example) contains HelloWorld UWP C# MSIX application which reads its module settings and is installed along PowerToys.
+
+## Steps
+- uncomment everything near "TODO: Use to activate embedded MSIX" comments
+- build PowerToys solution
+- deploy HelloModule module and sign it with a self-signed certificate (don't forget to put it into a trusted store)
+- build PowerToysSetup solution and install it
+
+Type HelloModule into start search and observe that it was installed:

+
+Open PowerToys settings and change the stub setting to something:

+
+Open HelloModule:
+
+<img src="../images/msix/hello-module-screen.png">
+
+First time you press "Load Settings", it'll detect that it doesn't have permissions to access local file system and open its system settings window, toggle it there:

+
+(it's a known uwp limitation, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/53533414/657390)
+
+HelloModule will close then, restart it, press "Load Settings" and you should see that the application was able to load the setting string which was set by the settings app:

+[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.
+
+Since the localization script requires certain nuget packages, the [`restore-localization`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/.pipelines/restore-localization.cmd) script is run before running `build-localization` to install all the required packages. This script must [run in the `restore` step](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/86d77103e9c69686c297490acb04775d43ef8b76/.pipelines/pipeline.user.windows.yml#L37-L39) of pipeline because [the host is network isolated](https://onebranch.visualstudio.com/Pipeline/_wiki/wikis/Pipeline.wiki/2066/Consuming-Packages-in-a-CDPx-Pipelinhttps://onebranch.visualstudio.com/Pipeline/_wiki/wikis/Pipeline.wiki/2066/Consuming-Packages-in-a-CDPx-Pipeline?anchor=overview) at the `build` step. The [Toolset package source](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/86d77103e9c69686c297490acb04775d43ef8b76/.pipelines/pipeline.user.windows.yml#L23) is used for this.
+
+The process and variables that can be tweaked on the pipeline are described in more detail [here](https://onebranch.visualstudio.com/Pipeline/_wiki/wikis/Pipeline.wiki/290/Localization).
+
+The localized resource dlls for C# projects are added to the MSI only for build on the pipeline. This is done by checking if the [`IsPipeline` variable is defined](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/installer/PowerToysSetup/Product.wxs#L804-L805), which gets defined before building the installer on the pipeline [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/.pipelines/build-installer.cmd#L4). This is done because the localized resx files are only present on the pipeline, and not having this check would result in the installer project failing to build locally.
+
+## Enabling localization on a new project
+To enable localization on a new project, the first step is to create a file `LocProject.json` in the project root.
+
+For example, for a project in the folder `src\path` where the resx file is present in `resources\Resources.resx`, the LocProject.json file will contain the following:
+```
+{
+    "Projects": [
+        {
+            "LanguageSet": "Azure_Languages",
+            "LocItems": [
+                {
+                    "SourceFile": "src\\path\\resources\\Resources.resx",
+                    "CopyOption": "LangIDOnName",
+                    "OutputPath": "src\\path\\resources"
+                }
+            ]
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+The rest of the steps depend on the project type and are covered in the sections below. The steps to add the localized files to the MSI can be found [here](#Enabling-localized-MSI-for-a-new-project).
+
+### C++
+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.
+
+If you already have a .rc file, copy the string table to a separate txt file and run the [convert-stringtable-to-resx.ps1](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/tools/build/convert-stringtable-to-resx.ps1) script on it. This script is not very robust to input, and requires the data in a specific format, where `IDS_ResName L"ResourceValue"` and any number of spaces can be present in between. The script converts this file to the format expected by [`resgen`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/resgen-exe-resource-file-generator#Convert), which will convert it to resx. The resource names are changed from all uppercase to title case, and the `IDS_` prefix is removed. Escape characters might have to be manually replaced, for example .rc files would have escaped double quotes as `""`, so this should be replaced with just `"` before converting to the resx files.
+
+After generating the resx file, rename the existing rc and h files to ProjName.base.rc and resource.base.h. In the rc file remove the string table which is to be localized and in the .h file remove all `#define`s corresponding to localized resources. In the vcxproj of the C++ project, add the following build event:
+```
+<Target Name="GenerateResourceFiles" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">
+    <Exec Command="powershell -NonInteractive -executionpolicy Unrestricted $(SolutionDir)tools\build\convert-resx-to-rc.ps1 $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory) resource.base.h resource.h ProjName.base.rc ProjName.rc" />
+</Target>
+```
+
+This event runs a script which generates a resource.h and ProjName.rc in the `Generated Files` folder using the strings in all the resx files along with the existing information in resource.base.h and ProjName.base.rc. The script can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/tools/build/convert-resx-to-rc.ps1). The script uses [`resgen`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/resgen-exe-resource-file-generator#Convert) to convert the resx file to a string table expected in the .rc file format. When the resources are added to the rc file the `IDS_` prefix is added and resource names are in upper case (as it was originally). Any occurrences of `"` in the string resource is escaped as `""` to prevent build errors. The string tables are added to the rc file in the following format:
+```
+#if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_ENU)
+LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
+
+STRINGTABLE
+BEGIN
+    strings
+END
+
+#endif
+```
+Since there is no API to identify the `AFX_TARG_*`, `LANG_*` or `SUBLANG_*` values from each langId from the pipeline, these are hardcoded in the script (for each language) as done [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/tools/build/convert-resx-to-rc.ps1#L50-L77). **If any other languages are added in the future, this script will have to be updated.** In order to determine what are the language codes, you can open the rc file in Resource View, right click the string table and press `Insert Copy` and choose the corresponding language. This autogenerates the required code and can be used to figure out the language codes. The files also add the resource declarations to a resource.h file, starting from 101 by default(this can be changed by an optional argument). Since the output files will be generated in `Generated Files`, any includes in these two files will require an additional `..\` and wherever resource.h is used, it will have to be included as `Generated Files\resource.h`. While adding `resource.base.h` and `ProjName.base.rc` to the vcxproj, these should be modified to not participate in the build to avoid build errors:
+```
+<None Include="Resources.resx" />
+```
+
+Some rc/resource.h files might be used in multiple projects (for example, KBM). To ensure the projects build for these cases, the build event can be added to the entire directory so that the rc files are generated before any project is built. See [Directory.Build.targets](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/Directory.Build.targets) for an example.
+
+Check [this PR](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/6104) for an example for making these changes for a C++ project.
+
+### C#
+Since C# projects natively support `resx` files, the only step required here is to include all the resx files in the build. For .NET Core projects this is done automatically and the .csproj does not need to be modified. For other projects, the following line needs to be added:
+```
+<EmbeddedResource Include="Properties\Resources.*.resx" />
+```
+
+**Note:** Building with localized resources may cause a build warning `Referenced assembly 'mscorlib.dll' targets a different processor` which is a VS bug. More details can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/7269).
+
+**Note:** If a project needs to be migrated from XAML resources to resx, the easiest way to convert the resources would be to change to format to `=` separates resources by either manually (by Ctrl+H on a text editor), or by a script, and then running [`resgen`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/tools/resgen-exe-resource-file-generator#Convert) on `Developer Command Prompt for VS` to convert it to resx format.
+```
+<system:String x:Key="wox_plugin_calculator_plugin_name">Calculator</system:String>
+<system:String x:Key="wox_plugin_calculator_plugin_description">Allows to do mathematical calculations.(Try 5*3-2 in Wox)</system:String>
+<system:String x:Key="wox_plugin_calculator_not_a_number">Not a number (NaN)</system:String>
+```
+to
+```
+wox_plugin_calculator_plugin_name=Calculator
+wox_plugin_calculator_plugin_description=Allows to do mathematical calculations.(Try 5*3-2 in Wox)
+wox_plugin_calculator_not_a_number=Not a number (NaN)
+```
+After adding the resx file to the project along with the resource generator, references to the strings will have to be replaced with `Properties.Resources.resName` rather than the custom APIs. Check [this PR](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/6165) for an example of the changes required.
+
+### UWP
+UWP projects expect `resw` files rather than `resx` (the format is almost the same). Unlike other C# projects, the files are expected in the format `fullLangId\Resources.resw`. To include these files in the build, replace the following line in the csproj:
+```
+<PRIResource Include="Strings\en-us\Resources.resw" />
+```
+to
+```
+<PRIResource Include="Strings\*\Resources.resw" />
+```
+
+## Lcl Files
+Lcl files contain all the resources that are present in the English resx file, along with a translation if it has been added.
+
+For example, an entry for a resource in the lcl file looks like this:
+```
+<Item ItemId=";EditKeyboard_WindowName" ItemType="0;.resx" PsrId="211" Leaf="true">
+    <Str Cat="Text">
+        <Val><![CDATA[Remap keys]]></Val>
+        <Tgt Cat="Text" Stat="Loc" Orig="New">
+            <Val><![CDATA[Remapper des touches]]></Val>
+        </Tgt>
+    </Str>
+    <Disp Icon="Str" />
+</Item>
+```
+The `<Tgt>` element would not be present in the initial commits of the lcl files, as only the English version of the string would be present.
+
+**Note:** The CDPX Localization system has a fail-safe check on the lcl files, where if the English string value which is present inside `<Val><![CDATA[*]]></Val>` does not match the value present in the English Resources.resx file then the translated value will not be copied to the localized resx file. This is present so that obsolete translations would not be loaded when the English resource has changed, and the English string will be used rather than the obsolete translation.
+
+## Possible Issues in localization PRs (LEGO)
+Since the LEGO PRs update some of the strings in LCL files at a time, there can be multiple PRs which modify the same files, leading to merge conflicts. In most cases this would show up on GitHub as a merge conflict, but sometimes a bad git merge may occur, and the file could end up with incorrect formatting, such as two `<Tgt>` elements for a single resource. These can be fixed by ensuring the elements follow the format described in [this section](#lcl-files). To catch such errors, the build farm should be run for every LEGO PR and if any error occurs in the localization step, we should check the corresponding resx/lcl files for conflicts.
+
+## Enabling localized MSI for a new project
+For C++ and UWP projects no additional files are generated with localization that need to be added to the MSI. For C++ projects all the resources are added to the dll/exe, while for UWP projects they are added to the `resources.pri` file (which is present even for an unlocalized project). To verify if the localized resources are added to the `resources.pri` file the following steps can be done:
+- Open `Developer Command Prompt for VS`
+- After navigating to the folder containing the pri file, run the following command:
+
+        makepri.exe dump /if .\resources.pri
+- Check the contents of the `resources.pri.xml` file that is generated from the command. The last section of the file will contain the resources with the strings in all the languages:
+```
+<NamedResource name="GeneralSettings_RunningAsAdminText" uri="ms-resource://f4f787a5-f0ae-47a9-be89-5408b1dd2b47/Resources/GeneralSettings_RunningAsAdminText">
+    <Candidate qualifiers="Language-FR" type="String">
+        <Value>Running as administrator</Value>
+    </Candidate>
+    <Candidate qualifiers="Language-EN-US" isDefault="true" type="String">
+        <Value>Running as administrator</Value>
+    </Candidate>
+</NamedResource>
+```
+
+For C# projects, satellite dlls are generated when the project is built. For a project named `ProjName`, files are created in the format `langId\ProjName.resources.dll` where `langId` is in the same format as the lcl files. The satellite dlls need to be included with the MSI, but they must be added only if the solution is built from the build farm, as the localized resx files will not be present on local machines (and that could cause local builds of the installer to fail).
+This can be done by adding the directory name of the project [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/installer/PowerToysSetup/Product.wxs#L806) and a resource component for the project can be created [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/installer/PowerToysSetup/Product.wxs#L845-L847) in this format:
+```
+<Component Id="ProjName_$(var.IdSafeLanguage)_Component" Directory="Resource$(var.IdSafeLanguage)ProjNameInstallFolder">
+    <File Id="ProjName_$(var.IdSafeLanguage)_File" Source="$(var.BinX64Dir)modules\ProjName\$(var.Language)\ProjName.resources.dll" />
+</Component>
+```
+
+We should also ensure the new dlls are signed by the pipeline. Currently all dlls of the form [`*.resources.dll` are signed](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/f92bd6ffd38014c228544bb8d68d0937ce4c2b6d/.pipelines/pipeline.user.windows.yml#L68).
+
+**Note:** The resource dlls should be added to the MSI project only after the initial commit with the lcl files has been done by the Localization team. Otherwise the pipeline will fail as there wouldn't be any resx files to generate the dlls.

+## HandleSingleKeyRemapEvent
+[This method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L13-L124) is used for handling the key to key and key to shortcut remapping logic. The general logic is as follows:
+- Check if the `dwExtraInfo` field contains the `KEYBOARDMANAGER_INJECTED_FLAG` bit set. This bit is used to indicate that the key event was generated by KBM using `SendInput`. This ensures that we don't read events generated by the key or shortcut remap methods.
+- Check if the current key is present in the list of remaps. If it isn't, return 0 (i.e. do not suppress the event).
+- If it is remapped to Disable, suppress the event.
+- If it is remapped to a key, we send the key down/up message for the target key and suppress the current key event. We have a check for filtering artificial keys, such as `VK_WIN` (which is a keycode added by us), so that it is translated to `VK_LWIN` instead.
+- If it is remapped to a shortcut, for key down we set the target modifiers first, followed by the target action key, and for key up we release the action key first, followed by the modifiers.
+- All the remapped key events that we send above are sent with `KEYBOARDMANAGER_SINGLEKEY_FLAG` on the `dwExtraInfo` field.
+
+## HandleShortcutRemapEvent
+[This method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L178-L739) is used for handling the shortcut to shortcut and shortcut to key remapping logic. The general logic is as follows:
+- 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 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).
+    - [**Case 3:**](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L463-L527) If the original shortcut's action key is released
+        - For remap to shortcut, we just release the target shortcut's action key
+        - For remap to disable, we suppress the event
+        - For remap to key, we check if any other keys are pressed apart from the target key. If not, we just release the target key. If there are, we reset back to the physical keys by releasing the target key and setting the original shortcut's modifiers along with a dummy key, and we reset all the remap variables. This behavior is different from remap to shortcut because if the action key is released while other keys are pressed the remap should be inactive, but such a state can't occur for shortcut to shortcut remaps since they happen only when the exact keys are pressed.
+    - [**Case 4:**](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L529-L551) If a modifier in the original shortcut is pressed, suppress the event
+    - [**Case 5:**](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L553-L732) If any other key is pressed
+        - For remap to shortcut, we need to reset back to physical keys as the shortcut remaps can't be pressed in combination with other keys. We release the target action key if it was pressed, and we release the modifier keys of the target shortcut that are not common and set the remaining ones in the original shortcut. We then send the original shortcut's action key if the target action key was found to be pressed, and we send the current key press at the end.
+        - For remap to key, if it is remapped to disable or if the target key is not found to be pressed, we reset to the physical keys, we set the original shortcut's modifiers and if is remap to Disable and the original shortcut's action key is physically pressed (this is checked by the `isOriginalActionKeyPressed` flag which we keep track of whenever the action key is pressed or released for remap to Disable), then we set the original shortcut's action key, followed by the current key press. If it is not remapped to disable and the target key is pressed, then we don't suppress the event as we allow shortcut to key remappings to be pressed along with other keys.
+        - For all the above cases, dummy key isn't required as we want the current key press to behave like a normal key.
+    - [**Case 6:**](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L733) If any other key is released, do not suppress the event as this event didn't appear with a corresponding key down event (such as an app sending a key up event) or we processed the key down and let it continue (for shortcut to key scenario).
+- All the remapped key events that we send above are sent with `KEYBOARDMANAGER_SHORTCUT_FLAG` on the `dwExtraInfo` field, except the usage of the current key press in Case 5, for which we don't send any extra info so that it is considered as a normal key event which may in turn invoke some other remap.
+
+**Note:** Shortcuts are considered valid if they have modifiers and an action key. The reason why we haven't supported key combinations of just modifiers (which is requested in this [issue](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/5670)) (like remapping <kbd>Ctrl+Alt</kbd>) is because this would require more cases and handling as these remappings have to take place only on press and release and if there is no key pressed in between similar to what Start Menu does. The remapping would have to be invoked only for this specific sequence <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key down, <kbd>Alt</kbd> key down, <kbd>Alt</kbd> key up, <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key up (ordering between Ctrl and Alt can be swapped). If any other key is pressed in between it shouldn't be invoked, and since this logic requires tracking exact states instead of using GetAsyncKeyStates, this could cause false positives if a user is not running as admin.
+
+## HandleOSLevelShortcutRemapEvent
+[This method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L741-L752) is used for handling global 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.
+- Call `HandleShortcutRemapEvent` without the `activatedApp` argument so that global shortcut remapping takes place if it applies for the current key event.
+
+## HandleAppSpecificShortcutRemapEvent
+[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)
+- 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 case insensitive. If it is, this is considered to be the activated app.
+- Call `HandleShortcutRemapEvent` with the `activatedApp` argument so that app-specific shortcut remapping takes place if it applies for the current key event.
+
+## HandleSingleKeyToggleToModEvent (Obsolete - Code from PoC which is commented out)
+[This method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L126-L176) was added to support a feature for converting the behavior of a key from behaving like a toggle (like Caps Lock/Num Lock) to a modifier (like Ctrl), such that when you hold Caps Lock it would behave as if Caps Lock was active, and when it was not pressed Caps Lock would be off. For Caps Lock this would be similar to behaving like Shift, but for Num Lock there is no existing key which can substitute for this. This was added while testing out remapping for the KBM PoC, but wasn't added as a feature since it wasn't a priority.
+
+## Tests
+In order to test the remapping logic, a mocked keyboard input handler had to be created because otherwise the tests would process and send actual key events. For this the [`InputInterface`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/InputInterface.h) was made, and in production code the methods are implemented using [`SendInput`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-sendinput) and [`GetAsyncKeyState`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getasynckeystate). In addition to this, [`GetCurrentApplication`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Helpers.cpp#L226-L268) had to be mocked so that app-specific remapping can be tested.
+
+### MockedInput
+The [`MockedInput`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/MockedInput.h) class uses a 256 size `bool` vector to store the key state for each key code. Identifying the foreground process is mocked by simply setting and getting a string value for the name of the current process.
+
+[To mock the `SendInput` method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/MockedInput.cpp#L10-L110), the steps for processing the input are as follows. This implementation is based on public documentation for SendInput and the behavior of key messages and keyboard hooks:
+- Iterate over all the inputs in the INPUT array argument
+- If the event is a key up event, then it is considered [`WM_SYSKEYUP`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/wm-syskeyup) if Alt is held down, otherwise it is `WM_KEYUP`.
+- If the event is a key down event, then it is considered [`WM_SYSKEYDOWN`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/wm-syskeydown) if either Alt is held down or if it is F10, otherwise it is `WM_KEYDOWN`.
+- An optional function which can be set on the `MockedInput` handler can be used to test for the number of times a key event is received by the system with a particular condition using [`sendVirtualInputCallCondition`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/MockedInput.cpp#L48-L52).
+- The hook logic for a low level hook which returns 0 or 1 can be set on the `MockedInput` handler such that it behaves like a low level hook would behave with actual keyboard input. If the method returns 1, then the keyboard state is not updated, and if it returns 0 the corresponding key event is used to update the key state. This works in the recursive way as well similar to low level hooks, as `SendVirtualInput` can be called from within the hook, thus simulating identical behavior to calling `SendInput` in a low level hook (as soon as SendInput is called, the low level hook is called for the new input event, and only after those are processed it returns back to the current event, check this [blog](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20140213-00/?p=1773) for more details).
+- For updating the keyboard state, KEYUP messages result in the state for that key code being set to false, and KEYDOWN result in the state for that key code being set to true.
+- For modifiers the behavior is slightly different as if the key state of the L/R version is modified, it should also modify the common version, and if a common version is released, it should release both the L and R versions.
+
+### Tests for single key remaps and shortcut remaps
+Using the MockedInput handler, all the expected (and known) key scenarios that can occur for while pressing a [remapped key](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/SingleKeyRemappingTests.cpp) or [remapped shortcut](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/OSLevelShortcutRemappingTests.cpp) are tested. The foreground app behavior which is specific to app-specific shortcuts is tested [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/AppSpecificShortcutRemappingTests.cpp).

+## Class members
+The `KeyboardManager` module has [3 main class members](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L54-L61):
+- A static pointer to the current object of `KeyboardManager`. This is required for using the `KeyboardManager` object in the low level keyboard hook handler as that method must be static. This is described in more detail in [this section](#Low-level-keyboard-hook-handler).
+- An object of type `Input`, which is used for all the operations that involving getting or setting keyboard states. This is wrapped in an object to allow testing the remapping methods.
+- An object of type `KeyboardManagerState`. This object contains all the data related to remappings and is also used in the sense of a View Model as it used to communicate common data that is shared between the KBM UI and the backend. This class is described in more detail [here](keyboardmanagercommon.md#keyboardmanagerstate).
+
+## Enable/Disable
+On enabling KBM, the low level keyboard hook is started, and it is unhooked on disable. 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://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/about-hooks#hook-procedures)).
+
+In addition to stopping the hook, any active KBM UI windows are also closed on disabling. This is done because the KBM UI uses the same keyboard hook for the Type button where you can type a key/shortcut, so if KBM is disabled the windows would not be completely functional.
+
+The enable/disable code can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L301-L322)
+
+## Settings format
+KBM uses two sets of settings files. 
+- The main `settings.json` is of the following format:
+
+        {
+            "properties":
+            {
+                "activeConfiguration":
+                {
+                    "value":"default"
+                },
+                "keyboardConfigurations":
+                {
+                    "value":["default"]
+                }
+            },
+            "name":"Keyboard Manager",
+            "version":"1"
+        }
+
+    - The `activeConfiguration` attribute stores the current remapping profile, while `keyboardConfigurations` stores all the profiles that the user has. This was added to avoid any future breaking changes for the [profiles feature](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/1881), which would allow users to switch between remappings
+- The profile format (`default.json`) is of the following format:
+
+        {
+            "remapKeys":
+            {
+                "inProcess":
+                [
+                    {
+                        "originalKeys":"91",
+                        "newRemapKeys":"162;70"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "originalKeys":"92",
+                        "newRemapKeys":"162;70"
+                    }
+                ]
+            },
+            "remapShortcuts":
+            {
+                "global":
+                [
+                    {
+                        "originalKeys":"164;37",
+                        "newRemapKeys":"162;65"
+                    },
+                    {
+                        "originalKeys":"162;68",
+                        "newRemapKeys":"91"
+                    }
+                ],
+                "appSpecific":
+                [
+                    {
+                        "originalKeys":"91;162;65",
+                        "newRemapKeys":"162;86",
+                        "targetApp":"msedge"
+                    }
+                ]
+            }
+        }
+
+    - `originalKeys` stores the key/shortcut which is to be pressed for the remap, and `newKeys` stores the key/shortcut which is to be executed.
+    - Both contain semi-colon separated virtual key codes. For `remapKeys`, `originalKeys` must have only one key code, whereas for `remapShortcuts` it must have atleast two key codes.
+    - `inProcess` sub-key was added in `remapKeys` because there was a possibility of adding the registry based remapping approach (used by [SharpKeys](https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys)), so that would be under a separate sub-key while `inProcess` would be for keyboard hook based remaps. This was deprioritized as there weren't enough requests for it.
+    - `remapShortcuts` is split into `global` and `appSpecific`, where `global` remaps would apply to all applications, whereas `appSpecific` would apply on when the `targetApp` is in focus. `targetApp` must be the process name of the app (with or without it's extension), e.g. `msedge` or `msedge.exe` for Microsoft Edge.
+
+## Loading settings
+KBM settings are loaded only on the C++ side only at start up, in the [constructor](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L67-L68). The settings file may get modified from the KBM UI on applying new remappings, but the file is not read again. The files are read from the PowerToys Settings process whenever a change is made to the file (using a FileWatcher) or whenever the KBM page is opened. The settings are updated only when the user presses the OK button from either of the Remap Keys or Remap Shortcuts windows. This is described in more detail [here](keyboardmanagerui.md#ok-and-cancel-button).
+
+## Low level keyboard hook handler
+Since the [`hook_proc`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L330-L349) cannot be a member function in the class, this is declared `static` and a `static pointer` to the `KeyboardManager` project is used ([`keyboardmanager_object_ptr`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L54-L55)).
+
+As seen in the code for `hook_proc`, similar to other keyboard hooks in PowerToys it consists of a main method `HandleKeyboardHookEvent` which computes whether the key needs to be suppressed and accordingly returns 1 or calls the `CallNextHook` method.
+
+`HandleKeyboardHookEvent` is covered in the [next section](#HandleKeyboardHookEvent). The `SetNumLockToPreviousState` code in the above snippet is required for a special scenario with keyboard input, which is covered in [this section](#Suppressing-Num-Lock-in-a-keyboard-hook).
+
+## HandleKeyboardHookEvent
+The [`HandleKeyboardHookEvent`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L384-L458) is the method which calls the corresponding remapping methods in the required order. The following checks are executed in order:
+- **`KeyboardManagerState.AreRemappingsEnabled`:** This returns false while the KBM remap tables are getting updated. If it is in this state, `HandleKeyboardHookEvent` returns `0`, i.e. the key event is not suppressed and is forwarded normally.
+- **Check for `KEYBOARDMANAGER_SUPPRESS_FLAG`:** If the key event has the suppress flag, the method returns 1 to suppress the key event.
+- **[`KeyboardManagerState.DetectSingleRemapKeyUIBackend`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L399-L408):** This method is used for handling hook operations for the single key Type UI in the Remap keys window. If the Remap keys window is open, then `HandleKeyboardHookEvent` returns `0` and the key event is forwarded normally. If the left column Type button is clicked on the Remap keys window and the window is in focus, then the key event is suppressed and the UI is updated with the latest key from the recent key events. This method is described in more detail [here](keyboardmanagercommon.md#DetectSingleRemapKeyUIBackend-and-DetectShortcutUIBackend).
+- **[`KeyboardManagerState.DetectShortcutUIBackend(data, true)`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L410-L419):** This method is used for handling hook operations for the shortcut Type UI in the Remap keys window (when `isRemapKey` arg is `true`). If the Remap keys window is open, then `HandleKeyboardHookEvent` returns `0` and the key event is forwarded normally. If the right column Type button is clicked on the Remap keys window and the window is in focus, then the key event is suppressed and the UI is updated with the shortcut from the recent key events. This method is described in more detail [here](keyboardmanagercommon.md#DetectSingleRemapKeyUIBackend-and-DetectShortcutUIBackend).
+- **`HandleSingleKeyRemapEvent`:** This method handles the single key remap logic. If a remapping takes place, the key event is suppressed. This method is described in more detail [here](keyboardeventhandlers.md#HandleSingleKeyRemapEvent).
+- **[`KeyboardManagerState.DetectShortcutUIBackend(data, false)`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L430-L439):** This method is used for handling hook operations for the shortcut Type UI in the Remap shortcuts window (when `isRemapKey` arg is `false`). If the Remap shortcuts window is open, then `HandleKeyboardHookEvent` returns `0` and the key event is forwarded normally. If the Type button is clicked on the Remap shortcuts window and the window is in focus, then the key event is suppressed and the UI is updated with the shortcut from the recent key events. **Since this is executed after the single key remap method, all single key remappings are applied when the user is on the Remap shortcuts window.**
+- **`HandleAppSpecificShortcutRemapEvent`:** This method handles the app-specific shortcut remap logic. If a remapping takes place, the key event is suppressed. This method is described in more detail [here](keyboardeventhandlers.md#HandleAppSpecificShortcutRemapEvent). **Since this is executed after the single key remap method, single key remappings have precedence over shortcut remaps and are correspondingly reflected in shortcut remaps.**
+- **`HandleOSLevelShortcutRemapEvent`:** This method handles the global shortcut remap logic. If a remapping takes place, the key event is suppressed. This method is described in more detail [here](keyboardeventhandlers.md#HandleOSLevelShortcutRemapEvent). The app-specific remap method is executed before this because if a shortcut is remapped to different keys/shortcuts for a particular app and globally, the app-specific variant should be preferred if that app is in focus. **Since this is executed after the single key remap method, single key remappings have precedence over shortcut remaps and are correspondingly reflected in shortcut remaps.**
+
+**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).
+
+## SendInput Special Scenarios
+
+### Extended keys
+Certain keys such as the arrow keys, <kbd>right Ctrl/Alt</kbd>, and <kbd>Del/Home/Ins</kbd>, etc need to be sent with the `KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY` flag because otherwise the NumPad versions get sent, which can cause weird behavior when NumLock is on. The code can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Helpers.cpp#L190-L194) and the list of extended keys in code can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Helpers.cpp#L73-L98). Docs about extended keys can be found [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/about-keyboard-input#extended-key-flag). 
+
+The weird behavior that is caused by this can be found at these issues:
+- https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3478
+- https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3647
+- https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3981
+
+### Scan code
+Certain applications (such as Windows Terminal) may filter out key events which are set to scan code 0. Even though the `KEYEVENTF_SCANCODE` flag is not set, the `wScan` field is still sent, which defaults to 0. To avoid this issue we use the `MapVirtualKey` API to find the scan code from the virtual key code. Code can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Helpers.cpp#L196-L198).
+
+## Special Scenarios
+Since we are using low level keyboard hooks and not actual OS level input handling certain scenarios with input require workarounds as do they not interact well with the OS input logic directly. These are covered in the sub-sections below.
+
+### Dummy key events
+To prevent the behavior that some modifiers have that occur when you press and release the modifier without pressing any key in between, we need to send a dummy key event in between the two states. Some examples of this behavior are Win key for Start Menu and Alt key to focus the menu bar. We need to send the dummy key events at any point where an unintentional modifier press/release sequence may occur. We use the undocumented `0xFF` virtual key code for this as we haven't found any side effects of using this key code yet. Initially we used only a key up message, but it has been tweaked now to send a key down followed by key up (code can be found (here)[https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Helpers.cpp#L201-L208]), as without the key down there were [compatibility issues with some apps](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/7133) (like Slack).
+
+The dummy key event is currently used in the following places (the linked code snippets contains an example scenario of why it is required):
+- https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L251-L253
+- https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L289-L291
+- https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L382-L383
+- https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L409-L410
+- https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L509-L510
+
+### Suppressing Num Lock in a keyboard hook
+The <kbd>Num Lock</kbd> key state is updated by the OS before it is intercepted by low level hooks. This causes the issue that even if you suppress a <kbd>Num Lock</kbd> key event, <kbd>Num Lock</kbd> will still get toggled. In order to work around this, in the [`hook_proc`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L340-L344) whenever we suppress a <kbd>Num Lock</kbd> key down event, we send an additional <kbd>Num Lock</kbd> key up followed by key down so that the <kbd>Num Lock</kbd> state is reverted to it's previous value before the suppressed event. These are sent with a `KEYBOARDMANAGER_SUPPRESS_FLAG` in the `dwExtraInfo` field, so that we suppress them at the start of the hook (see code [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L811-L825)). Since these events will update the <kbd>Num Lock</kbd> state before the low level hooks, by suppressing them we ensure that these are not sent to any other hooks/applications and hence are only processed by the OS. 
+
+This assumes that KBM is the last hook to be registered (since another hook-based app like AutoHotkey could remap NumLock to some other key which could mess up this logic).
+
+### Modifier-Caps Lock interaction on Japanese IME keyboards
+While using Japanese IME on Windows, shortcuts like <kbd>Shift/Alt/Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Caps Lock</kbd> can be used to switch IME options.
+
+![japanese-ime](japanese-ime.png)
+
+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. This results in a state where the modifier key does not get released since the OS suppresses the key up messages before they reach the low level hooks.
+
+In order to work around this when a key down for the modifier is being processed, we send a key up for the modifier key with the `KEYBOARDMANAGER_SUPPRESS_FLAG` in the `dwExtraInfo` field, so that we suppress them at the start of the hook, and this key event would only be processed by the OS, without getting forwarded to other hooks/apps. The approach is described in more detail at [this comment](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3397#issuecomment-640136416), as discussed with the AutoHotkey team. The code for the workaround can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L827-L846). Tests for these scenarios have also been added at:
+- [Tests for workaround on single key remaps](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/SingleKeyRemappingTests.cpp#L110-L219)
+- [Tests for workaround on shortcut remaps](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/OSLevelShortcutRemappingTests.cpp#L1935-L2144)
+
+For example, while [remapping <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> to <kbd>Caps Lock</kbd>](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L59-L63), before sending the <kbd>Caps Lock</kbd> key down message and suppressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>, we send a suppressed <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key up, so that the OS doesn't see <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> and <kbd>Caps Lock</kbd> pressed together at any point. For the [<kbd>Caps Lock</kbd> to <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> scenario](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/KeyboardEventHandlers.cpp#L104-L116), we send a suppressed C<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>trl key up message after sending <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> key down before <kbd>Caps Lock</kbd> suppressed. Similar logic is added for such scenarios in shortcut remapping.
+
+While the above work around fixes most of the cases, there are still some scenarios where the modifier can get stuck, mentioned at this [comment](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3397#issuecomment-663729278), which is why the issue is still open. This occurs if a modifier is pressed after the remap has been invoked before releasing the remapped key and it is a harder scenario to solve which requires refactoring the single key remap code.
+
+### UIPI Issues (not resolved)
+`SendInput` does not work directly with certain key codes such as Play/Pause Media, Calculator key, etc as it requires UAC privileges to be injected to the OS and accordingly play the active media app or launch the Calculator app. In order to resolve this the correct approach is that the executable which calls `SendInput` needs to have the [UIAccess flag](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winauto/uiauto-securityoverview) set to true, which will also avoid the requirement of KBM having to run as administrator to intercept key events when an elevated window is in focus. The UIAccess flag has many constraints such as it must be a signed executable and must be located in a protected path like Program Files. Since KBM currently runs out of the runner process, it would make more sense to do this work after KBM is moved to a separate executable, and it could be enabled by a separate toggle in settings only if PowerToys is installed in Program Files. [This comment](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3192#issuecomment-646323661) has more details on this approach and (this)[https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3255] is the tracking issue.
+
+## Other remapping approaches
+Other approaches for remapping which were deprioritized are:
+
+### Registry approach
+This method is used by [SharpKeys](https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys) and involves using the [Microsoft Keyboard Scancode mapper registry key](https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys) to remap keys based on their scan codes. This has the advantage of being applied in all scenarios and not facing any elevation or UAC issues, however the disadvantages are that for modifying the settings the process must run elevated (as it modifies HKLM registry) and it requires a reboot to get applied. Another issue which is an advantage/disadvantage for users is that the process does not need to be running, so the remaps are applied all the time, including at the password prompt on logging in to the user's Windows account, which could get a user stuck if they orphaned a key in their password. This registry doesn't have any support for remapping shortcuts either, so the hook approach was prioritized over this.
+
+### Driver approach
+Using a driver approach has the benefit of not depending on precedence orders as KBM could always run before low level hooks, and it also has the benefit of differentiating between different keyboards, allowing [multi keyboard-specific remaps](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/1460). The disadvantages are however that any bug or crash could have system level consequences. [Interception](https://github.com/oblitum/Interception) is an open source driver that could be used for implementing this. The approach was deprioritized due to the potential side effects.
+
+## Telemetry
+Keyboard Manager emits the following telemetry events (implemented in [trace.h](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/trace.h) and [trace.cpp](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/trace.cpp)):
+- **`KeyboardManager_EnableKeyboardManager`:** Logs a `boolean` value storing the KBM toggle state. It is logged whenever KBM is enabled or disabled (emitted [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L305-L316)).
+- **`KeyboardManager_KeyRemapCount`:** Logs the number of key to key and key to shortcut remaps (i.e. all the remaps on the Remap a key window). This gets logged on saving new settings in the Remap a key window (emitted [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/LoadingAndSavingRemappingHelper.cpp#L159-L163)).
+- **`KeyboardManager_OSLevelShortcutRemapCount`:** Logs the number of global shortcut to shortcut and shortcut to key remaps. This gets logged on saving new settings in the Remap a shortcut window (emitted [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/LoadingAndSavingRemappingHelper.cpp#L220)).
+- **`KeyboardManager_AppSpecificShortcutRemapCount`:** Logs the number of app-specific shortcut to shortcut and shortcut to key remaps.

+
+## KeyboardManagerState
+[This class](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.cpp) stores all the data related to remappings and is also used in the sense of a View Model as it used to communicate common data that is shared between the KBM UI and the backend. They are accessed on the UI controls using static class members of `SingleKeyRemapControl` and `ShortcutControl`.
+
+### UI States
+[UI states](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.h#L27-L42) are used to keep track in which step of the UI flow is the user at, such as which Remap window they are on, or if they have one of the Type windows open. This is required because the hook needs to suppress input and update UI in some cases, and in some cases remappings have to be disabled altogether.
+
+### DetectSingleRemapKeyUIBackend and DetectShortcutUIBackend
+[These methods](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.cpp#L374-L446) are [called on the low level hook](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L399-L408) in the main keyboard event handler. When the user opens any UI window the UI states are updated and in this case some remappings have to be disabled. On the Remap keys window, all remappings are disabled, while on the Remap shortcuts window, shortcut remappings are disabled. 
+
+In addition to this, if the user has opened the Type window, and the window is in focus, [whenever a key event is received we have to update the set of selected keys in the TextBlock](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.cpp#L266-L329) in the ContentDialog. These methods also call the `KeyDelay` handlers to check if the input is Esc/Enter and accordingly handle the Accessibility events for the Type window. When the user clicks the Type button, [variables in the KeyboardManagerState store the corresponding TextBlocks](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/SingleKeyRemapControl.cpp#L375-L376) which appear in the ContentDialog, so that these UI controls can be updated from the hook on the dispatcher thread.
+
+### HandleKeyDelayEvent
+[This method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.cpp#L482-L498) checks if the UI is in the foreground, and if so runs the key delay handlers that have been registered.
+
+### Saving remappings to file
+The [`SaveConfigToFile`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.cpp#L500-L607) method is called on clicking the OK button on the EditKeyboardWindow or EditShortcutsWindow. Since PowerToys Settings also reads the config JSON file, [a named mutex is used](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.cpp#L582-L600) before accessing the file, with a 1 second timeout. If the mutex is obtained the settings are written to the default.json file.
+
+### Concurrent Access to remap tables
+To prevent the UI thread and low level hook thread from concurrently accessing the remap tables we use an [`atomic bool` variable](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.h#L91-L92), which is set to `true` while the tables are getting updated. When this is `true` the hook will skip all remappings. Use of mutexes in the hook were removed to prevent re-entrant mutex bugs.
+
+## KeyDelay
+[This class](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyDelay.cpp) implements a queue based approach for processing key events and based on the time difference between key down and key up events [executes separate methods for `ShortPress`, `LongPress` or `LongPressReleased`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyDelay.h#L69-L72). The class is used for the hold Enter/Esc functionality required for making the Type window accessible and prevent keyboard traps (see [this](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/SingleKeyRemapControl.cpp#L273-L292) for an example of it's usage). The `KeyEvents` are added to the queue from the hook thread of KBM, and a separate [`DelayThread`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyDelay.cpp#L142-L166) is used to process the key events by checking the `time` member in the key event. The thresholds for short vs long press and hold wait timeouts are `static` constants, but if the module is extended for other purposes these could be made into arguments.
+
+**Note:** [Deletion of the `KeyDelay`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyDelay.cpp#L4-L12) object should never be called from the `DelayThread` i.e. from within one of the 3 handlers, as it can re-enter the mutex and would lead to a deadlock. This can be avoided by either deleting it on a separate thread or as done in the KBM UI, on the dispatcher thread. See [this PR](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/6959#issue-496583547) for more details on this issue.
+
+## Shortcut and RemapShortcut classes
+The [`Shortcut` class](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Shortcut.h) is a data structure for storing key combinations which are valid shortcuts and it contains several methods which are used for shortcut specific operations. [`RemapShortcut`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/RemapShortcut.h) consists of a shortcut/key union (`std::variant`), along with other boolean flags which are required on the hook side for storing any relevant keyboard states mid-execution.
+
+### IsKeyboardStateClearExceptShortcut
+[This method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Shortcut.cpp#L665-L813) is used by the `HandleShortcutRemapEvent` to check if any other keys on the keyboard have been pressed apart from the keys in the shortcut. This is required because shortcut to shortcut remaps should not be applied if the shortcut is pressed with other keys. The method iterates over all the possible key codes, except any keys that are considered reserved, unassigned, OEM-specific or undefined, as well as mouse buttons (see list [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Shortcut.cpp#L628-L663)).
+
+### CheckModifiersKeyboardState
+[This method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Shortcut.cpp#L517-L614) uses `GetVirtualKeyState` (internally calls `GetAsyncKeyState` in production code), to check if all the modifiers of the current shortcut are being pressed. Since Win doesn't have a non-L/R key code we check this by checking both LWIN and RWIN.
+
+### Tests
+Tests for some methods in the `Shortcut` class can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/ShortcutTests.cpp).
+
+## Helpers
+[This namespace](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Helpers.cpp) has any methods which are used across either UI or the backend which aren't specific to either. Some of these methods have tests [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/SetKeyEventTests.cpp).
+
+### Foreground App Detection
+[`GetCurrentApplication`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Helpers.cpp#L226-L268) is used for detecting the foreground process for App-specific shortcuts. 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`. The [`GetFullscreenUWPWindowHandle`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/Helpers.cpp#L210-L224) uses `GetGUIThreadInfo` API to find the window linked to the GUI thread. This logic is based on [this stackoverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39702704/connecting-uwp-apps-hosted-by-applicationframehost-to-their-real-processes/55353165#55353165).
+
+**Note:** The [`GetForegroundProcess` method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/Input.cpp#L17-L21) performs string allocation in a weird way because of exceptions that were occurring while running tests as a result of memory being allocated or deallocated across dll boundaries. Here's the comment from the PR where this was added
+> To make app-specific logic test-able, a GetForegroundProcess was added to the input interface which internally calls GetCurrentApplication. This allows us to mock this method in the test project by just setting some process name as the foreground process for that function. When I set this to just return the string name, it would goes runtime errors on the test project in debug_heap with `__acrt_first_block == header`. Based on [this stackoverflow answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/35311928), this would happen if allocation happens in one dll's code space and deallocation happens in another. One way to avoid this is to change both the projects to MD (multi threaded dll) instead of MT(multi threaded), however that results in many compile-time errors since all the PT projects are configured as MT. To solve this, the GetForegroundProcess was rewritten such that its argument is the output variable, and we allocate memory for that string within the AppSpecificHandler method rather than in that function.

+
+## C++ XAML Islands
+The KBM UI is implemented as a C++ XAML Island, but all the controls are implemented in code behind rather than .xaml and .xaml.cs files. This was done as per a XAML Island Code sample and it didn't require a separate UWP project, which could be limited in terms of using hooks. There is a [tech debt item](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/2027) for moving this to XAML. The reason it wasn't implemented in the C# Settings was because it required communication with the low level hook thread, which could be too slow if IPC is used, since the UI needs to update on every key event.
+
+**Note:** For functions which take a XAML component as argument, pass it by value and not by reference. This is because `winrt` WinUI classes store their own internal references, so they are supposed to be passed by value (and internally ref counts are incremented). Passing by reference can lead to weird behavior where the object is `null`.
+
+The windows are [created as C++ windows](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L128-L140) and the window sizes are set to default by [scaling them as per DPI](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L120-L126) using the `DPIAware::Convert` API from common lib. Since the UI is launched on a new thread, the window may not be in the foreground, so [we call `SetForegroundWindow`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L146-L150).
+
+`DesktopWindowXamlSource` has to be declared and [it is initialized](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L159-L162) using the [`XamlBridge`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/XamlBridge.cpp), and [a second window handle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L161-L162) is generated for the internal Xaml Island window. Most of the code was based on the [Xaml Island Sample](https://github.com/microsoft/Xaml-Islands-Samples/blob/master/Samples/Win32/SampleCppApp/XamlBridge.cpp). The `XamlBridge` class contains code which handles initializing the Xaml Island containers as well as handling special messages like keyboard navigation, and focus between islands and between the C++ window and the island. It also has methods for clearing the xaml islands and closing the window.
+
+Once the UI controls are created, the parent container is set as the content for the `DesktopWindowXamlSource` and the `XamlBridge.MessageLoop` is executed. Messages are processed by the C++ window handler like [`EditKeyboardWindowProc`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L364-L404). The general structure we use for this is, for any `WM_PAINT` or `WM_SIZE` message we resize the Xaml Island window. For `WM_GETMINMAXINFO` we set minimum widths so that the window cannot be resized beyond a minimum height and width. This is done to prevent the WinUI elements from overlapping and getting cropped. If it is neither of these cases we send the message to the [`XamlBridge.MessageHandler`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/XamlBridge.cpp#L291-L301) which handles Destroy, Activation and Focus. If `WM_NCDESTROY` is received when the `XamlBridge` is `nullptr`, the window thread is terminated.
+
+**Note:** `ContentDialog` in Xaml Islands requires manually settings a `XamlRoot`. This can generally be done by passing the XamlRoot from a component in the main window, such as the button used to open the dialog ([`sender.as<Button>().XamlRoot()`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.cpp#L31-L32)). [These docs]((https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.ui.xaml.controls.contentdialog#contentdialog-in-appwindow-or-xaml-islands)) have more details about this.
+
+### Debugging exceptions in XAML Islands
+Sometimes if an exception occurs in XAML Islands, the stack trace may not always point to the correct code causing the exception and instead it will point to the Xaml Island message loop. In these cases the output window in VS will generally show the correct exception.
+
+### Build times
+C++ Xaml Islands generally take several minutes to build because the `pch` which contains the WinUI headers takes longer to build and compiles to a file of several GBs. To minimize the build times, multi-processor compilation within the projects have been enabled (files are distributed for compilation to the processors), and references to the Xaml headers have been removed from the .h headers files as much as possible. Since several classes of ours had class members with UI controls like `StackPanel` (which requires definitions of the classes in order to compile), we worked around this by declaring them as `IInspectable` (the equivalent of an object pointer in winrt), and initializing them to the actual control like `StackPanel` in the constructor and accessing all their member functions by inline typecasting (for `IInspectable x;` we do `x = StackPanel();` and `x.as<StackPanel>().MemberFunction()`). Check [this](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.cpp#L19-L25) for this type of usage in `ShortcutControl`.
+
+### Setting custom backgrounds for Xaml Controls using brushes
+To access the brushes available on C# Xaml, it has to be done with the `Resources.Lookup` syntax:
+`primaryButton.Background(Windows::UI::Xaml::Application::Current().Resources().Lookup(box_value(L"SystemControlBackgroundBaseMediumLowBrush")).as<Windows::UI::Xaml::Media::SolidColorBrush>());`
+
+## UI Structure
+The KBM UI consists of a [`Grid` with several columns](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L200-L218). Rows are added dynamically when [the add button is pressed](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L305-L309). [A vector of vector of unique pointers to `SingleKeyRemapControl`/`ShortcutControl`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L248-L249) is created so that references to the UI components and their data are not lost until the window is closed. [`SingleKeyRemapControl`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/SingleKeyRemapControl.cpp) is the UI class for each row of the Remap keys table, and [`ShortcutControl`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.cpp) is the UI class for each row of the Remap shortcuts table. [`KeyDropDownControl`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp) is used for handling the ComboBox operations. Each of these two classes [have vectors of unique pointers to the `KeyDropDownControl` objects](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.h#L44-L45) so that references to the objects are active until the control is deleted.
+
+When the UI windows are activated the `KeyboardManagerState` object [sets the `UIState` variable](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L251-L252) which is used for distinguishing if the UI is up from the keyboard hook thread. The [states are also updated](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/SingleKeyRemapControl.cpp#L53) on opening and closing the Type window.
+
+Clicking the Type Button [opens a content dialog](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/SingleKeyRemapControl.cpp#L206-L380) which registers key delays using the [`KeyDelay` class](keyboardmanagercommon.md#KeyDelay) for Enter and Esc keys and sets the UI states such that when a key event occurs the TextBlocks on the ContentDialog are updated accordingly. On accepting the dialog the selected keys are copied into the ComboBoxes from the TextBlocks, and on closing the window the key delays are unregistered and UI states are reset.
+
+Since ComboBoxes are added dynamically, handlers have been added which [update the accessible names for these controls](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L69-L74), which get executed whenever a drop down is added or removed.
+
+When the `EditKeyboardWindow`/`EditShortcutsWindow` is created, [we iterate through the remappings](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L254-L262) stored in `KeyboardManagerState` and add rows to the UI Grid. For both the windows we have `static` buffers [`singleKeyRemapBuffer`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/SingleKeyRemapControl.h#L39-L40) and [`shortcutRemapBuffer`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.h#L42-L43) which store the corresponding key/shortcuts as per the selections in the UI if they are valid with no warnings.
+
+## EditKeyboardWindow/EditShortcutsWindow 
+
+### OK and Cancel button
+[On pressing the OK button](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L66-L89) in `EditKeyboardWindow`, first the [`CheckIfRemappingsAreValid` method](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/LoadingAndSavingRemappingHelper.cpp#L10-L44) is executed which performs basic validity checks on the current remappings in the remap buffer (`static SingleKeyRemapControl::singleKeyRemapBuffer`), such as if there are no NULL columns and none of the source keys are repeated. All other validity checks are assumed to happen while the user adds the remapping. If this is found to be invalid a ContentDialog is displayed which shows that some remappings are invalid and if the user proceeds only the valid ones will be applied. If it is valid [`GetOrphanedKeys`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/LoadingAndSavingRemappingHelper.cpp#L46-L75) is executed which checks if any keys are orphaned (i.e. the key has been remapped and no other key has been remapped to it, so there is no way to send that key code), and a dialog is shown for notifying the user with a list of orphaned keys. After this the settings are [applied by adding it to the `KeyboardManagerState.singleKeyReMap` member](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/LoadingAndSavingRemappingHelper.cpp#L102-L164) and they are saved to the JSON file. `EditShortcutsWindow` differs slightly from this, as there is no orphaned keys check, and [on pressing OK](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditShortcutsWindow.cpp#L32-L47) both the global and app-specific shortcuts are validated and [updated](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/LoadingAndSavingRemappingHelper.cpp#L166-L223).
+
+The code used for updating the remapping tables in `KeyboardManagerState` can be found [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.cpp#L104-L183). For shortcut remaps, the `sortedKeys` vectors are updated and re-sorted whenever an element is added to them (like [this](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/common/KeyboardManagerState.cpp#L135-L136)).
+
+On pressing OK (after confirmation dialogs) or Cancel, the window is closed and UI states are reset.
+
+### Delete button
+Since there is no single method to delete the elements in a row for a Grid, [the logic](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/SingleKeyRemapControl.cpp#L143-L188) we use involves decrementing the rowIndex for all the UI controls that appearing after the row to be deleted, and removing each of the items of the row from the Grid, followed by deleting that row definition. We also update the accessible names for all the rows since the indexing has changed. After this the corresponding row in the remap buffer is also deleted, and `SingleKeyRemapControl`/`ShortcutControl` objects are deleted from the vector.
+
+### Handling common modifiers in EditKeyboardWindow
+In the SingleKeyRemap table for a remapping of the form Ctrl->X, where Ctrl is the common version and not L/R, we can't store it directly as Ctrl->X because when the hook receives the key event it only gets LCtrl or RCtrl specifically and not `VK_CONTROL`. To simplify the backend code, when [single key remappings are applied](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/LoadingAndSavingRemappingHelper.cpp#L116-L143), any remapping of the form Ctrl->X is split into Ctrl(L)->X and Ctrl(R)->X (i.e. both L and R versions are remapped to the same target), and when remappings are loaded in EditKeyboardWindow, we [pre-process the remap table](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/LoadingAndSavingRemappingHelper.cpp#L77-L100) such that if the L and R versions of a modifier are remapped to the same key/shortcut we combine them. This also results in the behavior where a user adds LCtrl->X and RCtrl->X and after closing and re-opening KBM UI it appears combined as Ctrl->X.
+
+## SingleKeyRemapControl
+The left drop down column uses a single ComboBox and the Type button is linked to `createDetectKeyWindow`, whereas the right column is linked to `createDetectShortcutWindow` as the column can accept a key or a shortcut (required to support key to key and key to shortcut). The `KeyDropDownControl` for the left column in the window uses a smaller key list, without `None`.
+
+## ShortcutControl
+Both the columns in are linked to `createDetectShortcutWindow`, however the drop down selection handlers differ in their logic as the left column only allows shortcuts, and the drop downs do not contain the `Disable` key, whereas the right column allows you to select both shortcuts and keys (to support shortcut to shortcut and shortcut to key), and it allows selection of `Disable`.
+
+For the app-specific shortcut target app text-box, we had to validate that the shortcut row is still valid when the target app is changed (for example, <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> is remapped for Chrome, and another remapping for <kbd>Ctrl+A</kbd> was remapped to Edge, but the target was changed to Chrome.). For this we didn't use the TextChanged handler as every time a letter is typed it would get executed. Instead we used the [`LostFocus` handler](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.cpp#L108-L167) which gets executed whenever you focus into the box (by clicking or tabbing) and then tabbing or clicking out. In the method we perform the same shortcut buffer validation used for selections in the drop down menus and update the buffers accordingly.
+
+## KeyDropDownControl
+Each ComboBox has a linked flyout, which is used to show warnings to the users whenever a user selects an invalid key from the drop down. When the warning is displayed the ComboBox is also reset to -1, i.e. no selection.
+
+For selection handlers on the ComboBoxes we couldn't use just the SelectionChanged handler directly as it gets executed even on searching for elements in the drop down. Instead we used DropDownClosed (when a user opens the drop down and searches and selects something) and SelectionChanged when the drop down is not open (for setting selections programmatically or selection made by searching with tab focus on the drop down without opening it). This was required because if we execute the selection handlers while users are searching, it could cause false positive flyout warnings if the search causes an invalid value to be selected, and flyouts cause the drop down to close leading to bad UI experience.
+
+### Localized key names
+For getting localized key names and symbols for each virtual key code, whenever the key lists are accessed, i.e. [whenever the drop down is opened](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L56-L60) or when `GetKeyName` is called in the Type window, the current `KeyboardLayout` is retrieved to ensure that the displayed key names are always updated. Since the `WM_INPUTLANGCHANGED` event was having some issues with XAML islands we weren't able to use this to update the keyboard layout. In addition to this we do not refresh the UI, so the key lists get updated only on opening/interacting with them.
+
+### Single Key ComboBox Selection Handler
+On making a selection in the drop down, [the selection handler](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L91-L130) validates the input with the buffer from the other column and other rows. Error messages are shown using flyouts if the selection is not considered valid and the drop down and buffer for that entry are reset to empty selection. The errors that can occur on the single key ComboBox are:
+- Remap to same key (A->A)
+- Same key previously remapped (A->B and A->C)
+- Conflicting modifier previously remapped (Ctrl->A and Ctrl(left)->B, since Ctrl also includes Ctrl(left))
+If the selection is found to be valid, the `singleKeyRemapBuffer` is updated accordingly.
+For handling `Shortcut` and key in the remap buffer for the right column, we use `std::variant`, which allows us to store either of the two types and check which one of them is present in the buffer by using the `index` method.
+[`ValidateAndUpdateKeyBufferElement`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/BufferValidationHelpers.cpp#L8-L66) does not reference any UI components and instead takes all the relevant data as arguments. This method [has tests](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/BufferValidationTests.cpp) which covers all the cases that could arise from making selections on the UI.
+
+### Shortcut ComboBox Selection Handler
+On making a selection in the drop down, [the selection handler](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L215-L295) validates the input with the buffer from the other column and other rows. Error messages are shown using flyouts if the selection is not considered valid and the drop down and buffer for that entry are reset to empty selection.
+This differs from the Single Key ComboBox handler in the sense that after validating the current selection we may perform [a set of actions](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L160-L204) such as:
+- Adding a drop down (if a modifier is selected)
+- Removing a drop down (if None is selected)
+- Clearing terminal empty drop downs (if an action key is selected in a non-last drop down and the remaining ones are empty)
+
+After performing the corresponding action, if any, we check if the drop down resulted in an error, in which case we do [a second level of validation](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L224-L229) on all the drop downs in that list of drop downs. This is done because there can be cases where an error in one drop down results us setting it to empty, and the remaining selection is also invalid. For example, you have Ctrl+A -> Ctrl+Shift+A, and you change Shift to Ctrl. This would show a warning for having two Ctrls in the shortcut being invalid, after which setting that to empty would result in Ctrl+A->Ctrl+Empty+A, which is a case of remapping a shortcut to itself.
+
+Once this second level of validation is done, we proceed with [updating the buffer](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L231-L251). Depending on the number of drop downs with valid values, this could be either a key or a shortcut (for the right columns). We also [set the buffer value for the target app](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L252-L267) while doing this.
+
+Unlike the Single Key handler, there is a different set of errors that can occur here which are related to making a selection that is considered as a valid shortcut. The `isHybridControl` argument is used to distinguish between the differing behaviors for the two types of columns (shortcut only or shortcut/key column). The errors that can occur for this handler are:
+- Shortcut must start with modifier (selecting A on the first drop for the left column is invalid)
+- Shortcut can't have a repeated modifier (Ctrl+Ctrl(left)+A is not a shortcut)
+- Shortcut can only have up to 2 modifiers (Ctrl+Shift+Alt is not supported as we have enforced a 3 key constraint (**not a backend limitation, there is [an issue](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/3936) requesting to remove this**))
+- Shortcut must contain an action key (Ctrl+A and change A to None, only for left column)
+- Shortcut must have at least two keys (Ctrl+A and change Ctrl to None, only for left column)
+- Disable can't be a modifier or action key (Ctrl+Disable is invalid)
+- Shortcut can't have more than one action key (Ctrl+Shift+A, change Shift to B)
+- Remap to same shortcut(Ctrl+A->Ctrl+A)
+- Same shortcut previously remapped for same target app (Ctrl+A->B and Ctrl+A->C)
+- Conflicting shortcut previously remapped for same target app (Ctrl+A->B and Ctrl(left)+A->C, since Ctrl also includes Ctrl(left))
+- Illegal shortcut remaps like Win+L or Ctrl+Alt+Del (since these cannot be remapped using LL hooks)
+
+[`ValidateShortcutBufferElement`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/BufferValidationHelpers.cpp#L68-L304) does not reference any UI components and instead takes all the relevant data as arguments. This method [has tests](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/test/BufferValidationTests.cpp) which covers all the cases that could arise from making selections on the UI.
+
+**Note:** After updating the buffer we have [code to handle a special case](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L269-L279), which was required to prevent scenarios where a drop down can get deleted but the corresponding `KeyDropDownControl` object isn't deleted. The code checks if the drop down is still linked to the parent and accordingly deletes the `KeyDropDownControl` object from the vector.
+
+**IgnoreKeyToShortcutWarning special case:** [An additional](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp#L177-L181) check was added to ignore the Map to Same key error when an existing remapping is loaded. This was because a remapping like Ctrl->Ctrl+A has an intermediate step of Ctrl->Ctrl, which could lead to an error of invalid input, even though Ctrl+A is valid. The only way to actually add this is from the Type button or by adding them in a different order (like typing Shift+A and then changing Shift to Ctrl). Since the intermediate check could fail, this was causing the app to crash since the Xaml Island wouldn't be completely loaded at that point and the Flyout can't be displayed. [This](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/6695) is the linked issue which describes the repro scenario.

+# Architecture 
+
+## Overview
+`PowerToys Run` is a plugin-based .net core desktop application. It is written in WPF using `Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)` structural design pattern. This article provides an overview of `PowerToys Run` architecture and introduces major components in the data flow.
+
+Note : We refer to base application without plugins as `PowerLauncher`, which is same as the name of startup WPF project. 
+
+## UI
+PowerToys Run UI is written in the WPF framework. The UI code is present in the Powerlauncher project and is spanned across three high-level components: [`MainWindow.xaml`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/MainWindow.xaml), [`LauncherControl.xaml`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/LauncherControl.xaml) and [`ResultList.xaml`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/LauncherControl.xaml). These components are discussed below. 
+
+![Image of PowerToys Run UI](/doc/images/launcher/pt_run_ui.png)
+**Fig 1: PowerToys Run UI architecture**
+
+1. **[`MainWindow.xaml`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/MainWindow.xaml)**: This is the outermost-level UI control. It is composed of lower-level UI components such as [`LauncherControl.xaml`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/LauncherControl.xaml) and [`ResultList.xaml`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/LauncherControl.xaml). The corresponding code-behind file implements all the UI related functionalities such as autosuggest, key-bindings, toggling visibility of WPF window and animations.
+2. **[`LauncherControl.xaml`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/LauncherControl.xaml)**: This control implements the UI component for editing query text.(marked in red in Fig 1) It consists of two overlapping WPF controls, `TextBox` and `TextBlock`. The outer `TextBox` is used for editing query whereas the inner `TextBlock` is used to display autosuggest text.
+3. **[`ResultList.xaml`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher/LauncherControl.xaml)**: This control implements the UI component for displaying results (marked in green in Fig 1). It consists of a `ListView` WPF control with a custom `ItemTemplate` to display application logo, name, tooltip text, and context menu.
+
+## Data flow
+The backend code is written using the `Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)` structural design pattern. Plugins act as `Model` in this project. A detailed overview of the project's structure is given [here](/doc/devdocs/modules/launcher/project_structure.md).
+
+#### Flow of data between UI(view) and ViewModels
+Data flow between View and ViewModel follows typical `MVVM` scheme. Properties in viewModels are bound to WPF controls and when these properties are updated, `INotifyPropertyChanged` handler is invoked, which in turn updates UI. The diagram below provides a rough sketch of the components involved.
+![Flow of data between UI(view) and ViewModels](/doc/images/launcher/ui_vm_interaction.PNG)
+**Fig 2: Flow of data between UI and ViewModels.**
+
+#### Flow of data between ViewModels and Plugins(Model)
+`PowerLauncher` interact with plugins using [`IPlugin`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/IPlugin.cs) and `IDelayedExecutionPlugin` interface. [`IPlugin`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/IPlugin.cs) is used for initialization and making queries which are fast (typically return results in less than 100ms).[`IDelayedExecutionPlugin`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/IDelayedExecutionPlugin.cs) is used for long-running queries and is implemented only when required. For example, [`IDelayedExecutionPlugin`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/IDelayedExecutionPlugin.cs) is implemented by indexer plugin for searching files with names of form \*abc\*.
+```
+    public interface IPlugin
+    {
+        // Query plugin
+        List<Result> Query(Query query);
+
+        // Initialize plugin
+        void Init(PluginInitContext context);
+    }
+
+    public interface IDelayedExecutionPlugin : IFeatures
+    {
+        // Query plugin
+        List<Result> Query(Query query, bool delayedExecution);
+    }
+```
+![Flow of data between UI(view) and ViewModels](/doc/images/launcher/vm_plugin_interaction.PNG)
+**Fig 3: Flow of data between ViewModels and Plugins.**
+
+#### Requesting services from powerlauncher
+Plugins could use the [`IPublicAPI`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/IPublicAPI.cs) interface to request services such as getting the current theme (for deciding logo background), displaying messages to the user, and toggling the visibility of PowerLauncher.

+# Debugging
+`PowerToys Run` is a single exe file associated with `launcher.exe` process and debugger should be attached to this process. There are two approaches to debug `PowerToys Run`. Both these approaches differ in the compile-time and the range of functionalities that could be debugged. These methods are discussed in detail in the following sections.
+
+
+## Debugging Prerequisite
+Setup development environment for PowerToys by following instruction [here.](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/doc/devdocs#prerequisites-for-compiling-powertoys)
+
+## Direct debugging
+This approach is used to test UI, plugins, and core `PowerToys Run` functionality. This **cannot** be used to test `PowerToys Run` settings. The approach is significantly faster compared to `Debugging with runner`, as it requires compiling projects relevant to `PowerToys Run`. Please follow the steps below for direct debugging.
+1. Right-click on `modules->launcher->PowerLauncher` and select `Set as startup Project`. 
+2. Press `F5` to start debugging.
+
+## Debugging with runner
+This approach can be used to test UI, plugins, core `PowerToys Run` functionality and `PowerToys Run` settings. This approach **cannot** be used to debug functions that execute on starting `launcher.exe` process. This requires building runner along with all the other modules on first compile, making it slower than `Direct debugging` approach. The subsequent compilations should be fast.
+1. Right-click on `runner` and select `Set as startup Project`. 
+2. Press `F5` to start debugging.
+3. Attach debugger to `launcher.exe` process. 
+    1. Go to `Debug->Attach to process..`
+    2. Filter and select `launcher.exe` process. 
+    3. Click on `Attach`.

+# Calculator Plugin
+The Calculator plugin as the name suggests is used to perform calculations on the user entered query.
+
+![Image of Calculator plugin](/doc/images/launcher/plugins/calculator.png)
+
+## Optional plugin settings
+
+* We have the following settings that the user can configure to change the behavior of the plugin:
+
+	| Key | Default value | Name | Description |
+	|--------------|-----------|------------|------------|
+	| `InputUseEnglishFormat` | `false` | Use English (United States) number format for input | Ignores your system setting and expects numbers in the format '1,000.50' |
+	| `OutputUseEnglishFormat` | `false` | Use English (United States) number format for output | Ignores your system setting and returns numbers in the format '1000.50' |
+
+* The optional plugin settings are implemented via the [`ISettingProvider`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/ISettingProvider.cs) interface from `Wox.Plugin` project. All available settings for the plugin are defined in the [`Main`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator/Main.cs) class of the plugin.
+
+## Technical details
+
+### [`BracketHelper`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator/BracketHelper.cs)
+- This helper validates the bracket usage in the input string.
+
+### [`CalculateHelper`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator/CalculateHelper.cs)
+- The [`CalculateHelper.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator/CalculateHelper.cs) class checks to see if the user entered query is a valid input to the calculator and only if the input is valid does it perform the operation.
+- It does so by matching the user query to a valid regex.
+
+### [`CalculateEngine`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator/CalculateEngine.cs)
+- The main computation is done in the [`CalculateEngine.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator/CalculateEngine.cs) file using the `Mages` library.
+
+```csharp
+var result = CalculateEngine.Interpret(query.Search, CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture);
+```
+
+### [`CalculateResult`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator/CalculateResult.cs)
+- The class which encapsulates the result of the computation.
+- It comprises of the `Result` and `RoundedResult` properties.
+
+### [`ErrorHandler`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator/ErrorHandler.cs)
+- The class which encapsulates the code to log errors and format the user message.
+- It returns an error result if the user searches with the activation command. This error result is shown to the user.
+
+### Score
+The score of each result from the calculator plugin is `300`.
+
+
+## [Unit Tests](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator.UnitTests)
+We have a [Unit Test project](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator.UnitTests) that executes various test to ensure that the plugin works as expected.
+
+### [`BracketHelperTests`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator.UnitTests/BracketHelperTests.cs)
+- The [`BracketHelperTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.Calculator.UnitTests/BracketHelperTests.cs) class contains tests to validate that brackets are handled correctly.

+# Folder Plugin
+The Folder plugin is used to navigate the directory structure and display the sub-folders and files within a folder.

+
+### [`FolderHelper.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Folder/Sources/Path/FolderHelper.cs)
+- The [`FolderHelper`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Folder/Sources/Path/FolderHelper.cs) class leverages the `DriveInformation` and `folderLinks` to get the folder results for a user query.
+- The [`DriveInformation`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Folder/Sources/Path/DriveInformation.cs) class gets the list of all drives on the system.
+- The [`FolderLink`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Folder/Sources/FolderLink.cs) object corresponds to a user created link for frequently accessed projects. This was inherited from Wox but is presently not functional as we don't have the UI setup in settings to get this user input. Each folderLink object has a `nickname`, which is the name of the folder and this can be used to directly access that folder instead of entering the entire path.
+
+### [`IFolderProcessor.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Folder/Sources/IFolderProcessor.cs)
+The `IFolderProcessor` utilizes the `FolderHelper` class to extract the folders and return the results.
+There are two types of Folder Processors, based on the type of information they are processing -
+1. [`UserFolderProcessor`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Folder/UserFolderProcessor.cs) - This Processor is currently not used in PT Run but it is used to process the user created folder links.
+2. [`InternalDirectoryProcessor`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Folder/InternalDirectoryProcessor.cs) - This processor is used to retrieve the files and folders located within the current drive or shared folder.

+# History Plugin
+
+The History Plugin allows users to search or display results they have used (selected).
+
+## How it works
+The plugin uses data that was already being captured which is, what results were clicked, and how many times. We do add a little more data to this set now.
+When this plugin is queried, it creates results based on this previously selected results data.
+
+In order to make sure selected results in the history are still valid, we re-query the plugin the relevant plug using the PluginManager. If there are no results,
+this history item is not included. This usually means that the result is no longer valid. For instance, if a file was deleted, but it's still in the selected history
+we don't want to show it as a selectable result.
+
+Because the results from the History Plugin are actually created from calls to the PluginManager, they will be exactly the same is if they did not come from the History Plugin.
+
+## Special notes
+While the results returned from the plugin are from the PluginManager, they are sometimes modified before returning. One example is the Calculator plugin.
+Since the Calculator plugin operates on the current query input by the user, the results from Calculator plugin don't include that in the title. However, as a history item,
+the query is very important. In this case, and maybe others in the future, we modify the tile to also include the search.
+
+### Modified title example:
+
+This is what the Calculator plugin normally might show:
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4396667/184661303-4f8cf0da-2956-46b9-bdc1-ed879cd0b7cc.png)
+
+But this is how it will look returned from the History plugin
+
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4396667/184661450-9ec3c416-66df-40c8-b004-da8b0cebc5c5.png)
+
+As you can see, here and maybe other places, other non-history plugin might be able to include extra data for the History plugin to use later.
+For example, in future, plugins might be able to also set a "History Title", "History Icon", etc... But for now, it's not needed.
+
+
+## Duplicates from the History Plugin in global results
+If the History plugin is set to show in the global results, it might return a result that is also returned from another plugin. If a match is found,
+the result from the history plugin is discarded.
+
+## Removing items from history
+A new context menu item is added to each History result, which can be used to delete it from the history.
+![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4396667/184656195-6d9f1a49-652c-4027-a424-535e9fb1f2a8.png)
+
+## Context menus
+Because these results are coming from the History plugin, this plugin must invoke each menu items `LoadContextMenus` method.
+We then also add the "Remove this from history" context menu action.
+
+## Results score
+When the plugin is used with the activation command, the scores are configured so the results show with the more recently selected items at the top.
+If the history results are shown in the global results, the scores are not modified from that the original plugin set.
+
+## Old Data
+Items selected before this plugin was created will not show in the history because they don't contain enough data.

+* `Wox.Plugin`
+* `PowerToys.PowerLauncher`
+
+
+#### Build Dependency
+Access to PluginManager was needed to make this plugin work. Because of this a reference to PowerToys.PowerLauncher was needed.
+Since History Plugin needs a reference to PowerToys.PowerLauncher, it can not be set as a dependency reference in PowerToys.PowerLauncher project (else a circular reference would exist).
+This means that if you build PowerToys.PowerLauncher only it will not build History Plugin. You will need to manually build History Plugin at least once and again manually if you change it.
+
+### Caching
+Right now, there is no caching. But since this plugin does cause more queries than expected to many plugins, the `BuildResult` method is likely to be improved with some level of caching.

+# Indexer Plugin
+The indexer plugin is used to search for files within the indexed locations of the system.
+
+![Image of Indexer plugin](/doc/images/launcher/plugins/indexer.png)
+
+### [Drive Detection](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Indexer/DriveDetection)
+- There are two indexing modes in Windows:
+    1. **Classic mode**: Only the desktop and certain customizable locations in the system are indexed. All the systems have the classic mode enabled by default.
+    2. **Enhanced Mode**: This mode indexes the entire PC when enabled. The user can exclude certain locations from being indexed in this mode from the Windows Search settings options.
+- A drive detection warning is displayed to the users when only the custom mode is enabled on the system informing the user that not all the locations on their PC are indexed as this could lead to some results not showing up.
+- The [`IndexerDriveDetection.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Indexer/DriveDetection/IndexerDriveDetection.cs) file gets the status of the drive detection checkbox in the settings UI and depending on whether the enhanced mode is enabled or disabled, displays the warning.
+- To determine whether the `EnhancedMode` is enabled or not, we check the local machine registry entry for `EnableFindMyFiles`. If it is set to 1, the enhanced mode is enabled.
+
+### [`OleDBSearch`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Indexer/SearchHelper/OleDBSearch.cs)
+- The `Query` function within the [`OleDBSearch.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Indexer/SearchHelper/OleDBSearch.cs) class takes in the query and the connection string to the SystemIndex catalog as arguments and returns a list of results.
+- It first opens a [connection][OLEDBConnection] to the Windows Indexer database, creates an [OleDB command][OLEDBCommand] and executes the command to get a list of results.
+
+### [`WindowsSearchAPI`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Indexer/SearchHelper/WindowsSearchAPI.cs)
+- The [`WindowsSearchAPI`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Indexer/SearchHelper/WindowsSearchAPI.cs) class leverages the [`OleDBSearch.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Indexer/SearchHelper/OleDBSearch.cs) class to execute the query.
+- It initializes the `QueryHelper` in the `InitQueryHelper()` function by creating a catalog manager to the SystemIndex catalog.
+- The metadata is initialized within the query helper, such as the number of results to retrieve, the type of information to retrieve for each file (currently we retrieve the item URL, the file name and the file attributes).
+- The query helper matches results using the name of the file only and they are sorted by the last modified date, ensuring that the recently modified files are ranked higher.
+- The File attributes are utilized to filter out hidden files from being displayed. 
+
+### Additional Information
+- There are two major types of queries generated by the indexer plugin:
+    1. Full Text predicates - eg: [CONTAINS][Contains]
+    2. Non-Full Text predicates - eg: [LIKE][Like]
+- The Full text predicates are much faster than non-full text predicates as they are based on finding matches rather than comparing the query with each item in the indexer database. Hence, queries which have the `CONTAINS` keyword are much faster than those which contain the `LIKE` keyword.
+- To prevent the indexer query from taking a long time and blocking the UI thread, there are two types of indexer queries which are executed. A simplified query and a full query, without and with the `LIKE` keyword respectively.
+- The result list is updated with the results of the full query once they are obtained.
+
+### Score
+Each of the indexer plugin results has a score set to 0 so they are present at the bottom of the list.

+# OneNote Plugin
+The OneNote plugin searches your locally synced OneNote notebooks based on the user query.
+
+![Image of OneNote plugin](/doc/images/launcher/plugins/onenote.png)
+
+The code itself is very simple, basically just a call into OneNote interop via the https://github.com/scipbe/ScipBe-Common-Office library.
+
+```csharp
+var pages = OneNoteProvider.FindPages(query.Search);
+```
+
+The query results will be cached for 1 day, and if cached results are found they'll be returned in the initial `Query()` call, otherwise OneNote itself will be queried in the `delayedExecution:true` overload.
+
+If the user actions on a result, it'll open it in the OneNote app, and restore and/or focus the app as well if necessary.
+
+```csharp
+if (PInvoke.IsIconic(handle))
+{
+    PInvoke.ShowWindow(handle, SHOW_WINDOW_CMD.SW_RESTORE);
+}
+
+PInvoke.SetForegroundWindow(handle);
+```
+
+The plugin attempts to call the library in the constructor, and if it fails with a COMException then it'll note that OneNote isn't available and not attempt to query it again.
+
+```csharp
+try
+{
+    _ = OneNoteProvider.PageItems.Any();
+    _oneNoteInstalled = true;
+}
+catch (COMException)
+{
+    // OneNote isn't installed, plugin won't do anything.
+    _oneNoteInstalled = false;

+# Structural Overview
+The following basic functions are common to each of the plugins. They perform some rudimentary operations such as initialization of the plugin, executing the query that has been entered, loading context menu icons, updating settings when configurations are altered in the settings UI, and updating the theme of the icons when the theme changed event is triggered.
+
+## IPlugin Interface
+Each plugin implements the `IPlugin` interface which comprises of the `Init()` and `Query()` functions.
+
+### `Init`
+- The `Init()` function initializes the context, storage and settings of each plugin. This is equivalent to a constructor and is the first function to be called in the `Main.cs` file for each plugin.
+
+### `Query`
+- For every query that the user enters into PT Run, the `PluginManager.cs` executes the `Query()` function in the `Main.cs` file corresponding to each Plugin.
+
+### Context Menu Icons
+- The `ContextMenus` are loaded for each result based on the type of the result.
+- The various types of `ContextMenu` functionalities are:
+    - Open containing folder
+    - Run as Administrator
+    - Open in console
+    - Copy path
+
+### UpdateSettings
+- This function updates the settings of each plugin based on the changes made by the user in the settings UI.
+- Eg: To disable drive detection in the indexer plugin, when the user checks or unchecks the drive detection check box, the `UpdateSettings()` function dispatches the changes in the check box to the plugin.
+
+### ThemeChanged
+- This function is invoked when there is a change in the theme of PT Run.
+- It is used to update the `IconPath` for each plugin based on the theme.
+
+### Save
+- This function saves the configurations of each plugin so that they can be loaded the next time.
+
+### Score
+- The user query is executed against each of the plugins and the result list view is updated with results from each of the plugins.
+- The ordering of the results is based on the `Score` of each Result.
+- Each plugin assigns a score to a result based on it's relevance. The results with higher scores are displayed higher in the list view and vice versa.
+
+## Plugin settings 
+Plugin settings that are editable from the settings are stored in `PowerToys Run\settings.json`. In the very first run, those settings are populated from plugin' `plugin.json` file. Unlike Wox we do not support multiple action keywords. Instead, we have `ActionKeyword` and `IsGlobal` options.

+# Program Plugin
+The program plugin as the name suggests is used to search for programs installed on the system.
+
+![Image of Program plugin](/doc/images/launcher/plugins/program.png)
+
+There are broadly two different categories of applications:
+
+1. Packaged applications
+2. Win32 applications
+
+### [UWP](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Program/Programs/UWP.cs)
+- The logic for indexing Packaged applications is present within the [`UWP.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Program/Programs/UWP.cs) file.
+- There can be multiple applications present within a package. The [`UWPApplication.cs`](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Program/Programs/UWPApplication.cs) file encapsulates the properties of a packaged application.
+- To index packaged applications, the `PackageManager` retrieves all the packages for the current user and indexes all the applications.
+- To retrieve the app icon for packaged applications, the assets path is retrieved from the `Application Manifest` file. There are multiple icons corresponding to each scale, target size and theme. The best icon is chosen given the theme of powerToys Run.
+
+### [Win32Program](src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.Program/Programs/Win32Program.cs)
+- Win32 programs in the following locations are indexed by PT Run-
+    1. Desktop
+    2. Public Desktop (Applications present on the desktop of all the users)
+    3. Registry (Some programs)
+    4. Start Menu
+    5. Common start menu (Applications which are common to all users)
+    8. Locations pointed to by the PATH environment variable.
+- To prevent applications and shortcuts present in multiple locations from showing up as duplicate results, we consider apps with the same name, executable name and full path to be the same.
+- The subtitle of the application result is set based on it's application type. It could be one of the following:
+    1. Lnk Shortcuts
+    2. Appref files
+    3. Internet shortcut - steam and epic games
+    4. PWAs
+    5. Run commands - these are indexed by the PATH environment variable
+
+### Score
+- The score for each application result is based on the how many letters are matched, how close the matched letters are to the actual word and the index of the matched characters.
+- There is a threshold score to decide the apps which are to be displayed and applications which have a lower score are not displayed by PT Run.
+
+### Update Program List in Runtime
+- Packaged and Win32 app helpers exist to reflect changes in the list of indexed apps when applications are installed on the system while PT Run is executing.
+- Packaged applications trigger events when the package is being installed and uninstalled. PT Run listens to those events to index applications which are newly installed or to delete an app which no longer exists from the database.
+- No such events exist for Win32 applications. We therefore use FileSystem Watchers to monitor the locations that we index for newly created, deleted or renamed application files and update the indexed Win32 catalog accordingly.
+
+### Additional Notes
+- Arguments can be provided to the program plugin by entering them after `--` (a double dash).

+# Registry Plugin
+
+The registry plugin allows users to search the Windows registry.
+
+## Special functions (differ from the regular functions)
+
+* Support full base keys and short base keys (e.g. `HKLM` for `HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE`).
+* Show count of subkeys and count of values in the second result line.
+* Search for value names and value data inside a registry key (syntax: `[RegistryKey]\\[ValueName]` and `[RegistryKey]\\[ValueData]`)
+
+## The Windows Registry
+
+The registry contains all settings for the Windows operating system and many settings of the installed (Windows only) programs.
+
+*Note: Linux and macOS program ports typical store the settings in it's own configuration files and not in the Windows registry.*
+
+For more information about the Windows registry, see [the official documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sysinfo/registry).
+
+For advanced information about the Windows registry, see [Windows registry information for advanced users](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/performance/windows-registry-advanced-users).
+
+## Score
+
+The score is currently not set on the results.
+
+## Important for developers
+
+### General
+
+* The assembly name is cached into `_assemblyName` (to avoid to many calls of `Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()`)
+
+### Results
+
+* All results override the visible search result via `QueryTextDisplay` to avoid problems with short registry base keys (e.g. `HKLM`).
+* The length of a `Title` and `Subtitle` is automatic truncated, when it is to long.

+# Shell Plugin
+- Shell plugin emulates the Windows Run Prompt (Win+R).
+- Shell Plugin is one of the non-global plugins which has an action keyword set to `>`.
+
+![Image of Shell plugin](/doc/images/launcher/plugins/shell.png)
+
+### Functionality
+- The Shell command expands environment variables, so `>%appdata%` works as expected.
+- On inheriting the Shell plugin from Wox, there are three different ways of executing a command, using the command prompt, powershell or the run prompt. To uphold the name of PT Run, the Shell plugin always executes commands as the Run prompt would.
+- The Shell plugin has a concept of history where the previously executed commands show up in the drop down list along with the number of times they have been executed.
+- The Run prompt has the folder plugin function where we can navigate to different locations and entering the path to a directory displays all the sub-directories. To prevent reimplementing this logic, the shell plugin references the folder plugin to implement this functionality.
+
+### Score
+The Shell plugin results have a very high score of 5000. Hence, they are one of the first results in the list.

+# Windows System Commands Plugin
+
+As the name suggests, the Windows System Commands Plugin is used to directly run Windows system commands that have been entered by the user as a query. This is done by parsing the entry and validating the command, followed by executing it.
+
+The user can change the behavior of the plugin (language, confirmation dialog, ...) with optional plugin settings.
+
+![Image of System Commands plugin](/doc/images/launcher/plugins/sys.gif)
+
+Available commands:
+* Shutdown
+* Restart
+* Sign Out
+* Lock
+* Sleep
+* Hibernate
+* Empty Recycle Bin
+* UEFI Firmware Settings (Only available on systems, that boot in UEFI mode.)
+* IP / MAC / Address => Show informations about network connections.
+
+## Optional plugin settings
+
+* We have the following settings that the user can configure to change the behavior of the plugin:
+
+	| Key | Default value | Name/Description |
+	|--------------|-----------|------------|
+	| `ConfirmSystemCommands` | `false` | Show a dialog to confirm system commands |
+	| `LocalizeSystemCommands` | `true` | Use localized system commands instead of English ones |
+	| `ReduceNetworkResultScore` | `true` | Reduce the priority of 'IP' and 'MAC' results to improve the order in the global results |
+
+* The optional plugin settings are implemented via the [`ISettingProvider`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/ISettingProvider.cs) interface from `Wox.Plugin` project. All available settings for the plugin are defined in the [`Main`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Main.cs) class of the plugin.
+
+## Technical details
+
+### [`Main`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Main.cs)
+
+* Tries to parse the user input and returns a specific Windows system command by using a [`Result`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Result.cs) list.
+
+* While parsing, the plugin uses [`FuzzyMatch`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Infrastructure/StringMatcher.cs) to get characters matching a result in the list.
+
+### [`Commands.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Components/Commands.cs)
+- The [`Commands`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Components/Commands.cs) class contains the definition of all available commands/results.
+
+### [`ResultHelper.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Components/ResultHelper.cs)
+- The [`ResultHelper`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Components/ResultHelper.cs) class contains methods for working with the results and some of the result features (tool tip, copy to clipboard, execute command).
+
+### [`NetworkConnectionProperties.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Components/NetworkConnectionProperties.cs)
+- The [`NetworkConnectionProperties`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Components/NetworkConnectionProperties.cs) class contains methods to get the properties of a network interface/connection.
+- An instance of this class collects/provides all required informations about one connection/adapter.
+
+### [`SystemPluginContext.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Components/SystemPluginContext.cs)
+- An instance of the class [`SystemPluginContext`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Components/SystemPluginContext.cs) contains/defines the context data of a system plugin result. We select the context menu based on the defined properties.
+- It is used for the `ContextData` property of the [`Wox.Plugin.Result`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Result.cs).
+
+
+### UEFI command
+
+* The UEFI command is only available on systems, that boot in UEFI mode.
+
+* This is validated by checking the result of the method [`GetSystemFirmwareType`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Common/Win32/Win32Helpers.cs), which uses the native method [`GetFirmwareType`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Common/Win32/NativeMethods.cs) in `kernel32.dll`.
+
+## Search
+
+### Score
+
+* [`CalculateSearchScore`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Infrastructure/StringMatcher.cs) A match found near the beginning of a string is scored more than a match found near the end. A match is scored more if the characters in the patterns are closer to each other, while the score is lower if they are more spread out.
+* For network results (IP address and MAC address) the score is reduced by 25 percent.
+
+### Network results on global queries
+- The network results (IP and MAC address) are only shown on global queries, if the search term starts with either IP, MAC or Address. (We compare case-insensitive.)
+
+### Returning results
+We return the results in two steps:
+1. All results which we can create very fast like shutdown or logoff via [`Main.Query(Query query)`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Main.cs).
+2. All results which need some time to create like the network results (IP, MAC) via [`Main.Query(Query query, bool delayedExecution)`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System/Main.cs).
+
+## [Unit Tests](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System.UnitTests)
+We have a [Unit Test project](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System.UnitTests) that executes various test to ensure that the plugin works as expected.
+
+### [`ImageTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System.UnitTests/ImageTests.cs)
+- The [`ImageTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System.UnitTests/ImageTests.cs) class contains tests to validate that each result shows the expected and correct image.
+
+### [`QueryTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System.UnitTests/QueryTests.cs)
+- The [`QueryTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.System.UnitTests/QueryTests.cs) class contains tests to validate that the user gets the correct results when searching.

+# Time Zone Plugin
+
+The Time Zone plugin allows users to search a time zone.
+
+## Special functions (differ from the regular functions)
+
+* Search for a country, like Kamchatka, Prince Edward Island, France
+* Search for a shortcuts, like WEST, UTC, PST
+* Search for a offset, like -12:00, -7, 5, 9:30
+* Search for a military time zone name (must activate in plugin settings)
+
+## How to add a new time zone  or change one
+
+All time zones are located in `TimeZone.json` in root folder of the project.
+The `TimeZone.json` use a JSON schema file that make it easier to edit it.
+
+| Key                 | Optional | Value type        |
+| ------------------- | -------- | ----------------- |

+# 'Time and Date' plugin
+The 'Time and Date' plugin shows the date and time in different formats. For the date and time formats the plugin uses the culture setting in Windows, if the format is not commonly defined. The user can search for the system date/time or a custom date/time. The value of each result can be copied to clipboard.
+
+**Query examples:**
+- Format: `time`
+- Date/time: `10:30 AM`
+- Format and date/time: `Week number::10/10/2022`

+### Add new formats
+- To add a new formats you have to add them to the method `GetList()` of the [`AvailableResultsList`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate/Components/AvailableResultsList.cs) class.
+	- Please add the new formats in the second range. The first one is reserved for the three main formats (Time, Date, Now).
+- After adding the new formats you have to update the Unit Tests!
+
+
+## Optional plugin settings
+- The optional plugin settings are implemented via the [`ISettingProvider`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/ISettingProvider.cs) interface from `Wox.Plugin` project.
+- All available settings for the plugin are defined in the [`TimeDateSettings`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate/Components/TimeDateSettings.cs) class of the plugin. The settings can be accessed everywhere in the plugin code via the static class instance `TimeDateSettings.Instance`.
+- We have the following settings that the user can configure to change the behavior of the plugin:
+
+	| Key | Default value | Name | Description |
+	|--------------|-----------|------------|------------|
+	| `OnlyDateTimeNowGlobal` | `true` | Show only 'Time', 'Date', and 'Now' result for system time on global queries | Regardless of this setting, for global queries the first word of the query has to be a complete match. |
+	| `TimeWithSeconds` | `false` | Show time with seconds | This setting applies to the 'Time' and 'Now' result. |
+	| `DateWithWeekday` | `false` | Show date with weekday and name of month | This setting applies to the 'Date' and 'Now' result. |
+	| `HideNumberMessageOnGlobalQuery` | `false` | Hide 'Invalid number input' error message on global queries | |
+

+- And it contains the `SelectStringFromResources()` method for getting the resource strings based on the user input.
+	- The method has a parameter for the `stringId` which is the name of the string in the resource file. By default the word `Now` is automatically added at the end to get the string for a system time/date search.
+	- If a different/custom string is needed for a system time/date search the parameter `stringIdNow` can be used to override the default behavior of the method.
+	- If only a string for the system time/date search is required, you can set `stringId` to `string.Empty` and only `stringIdNow` to a valid string id.

+### [`TimeDateSettings.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate/Components/TimeDateSettings.cs)
+- The [`TimeDateSettings`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate/Components/TimeDateSettings.cs) class provides access to all optional plugin settings.
+- The class has a static property called `Instance` that holds an instance of the class itself. This allows us to access the settings from everywhere in the plugin code without having additional parameters in our methods.
+
+### [`SearchController.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate/Components/SearchController.cs)
+- The [`SearchController`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate/Components/SearchController.cs) encapsulates the methods needed to search and find matches.
+
+
+## Search
+
+### Tags
+- We compare the user input with the label of each results. If it doesn't match we search the tags of the result too.
+- For each result two tag strings are defined. One for a search with system time/date and one for a search with a custom time/date. Most of the results (except the era results) are using one of the generic tag lists: Date, Time or Format
+- The selection of the tag (for "system time/date" or "custom time/date") is happening at search time in the `AvailableResultsList.cs` class.
+- The different tags in a list are split by the `;` character.
+
+### Score
+- The plugin uses `FuzzyMatching` to get the matching formats, if the user searches for a specific format. The score is set based on the `FuzzySearch` result.
+- To achieve a better balance between sub title matches and tag matches the score of tag matches is divided by two.
+
+### Match requirements for global queries
+On global queries the high score returned by `FuzzySearch` has negative impacts on the user experience and the search results priority/order of other plugins. To mitigate this we defined some matching requirements:
+- If the query is a word of the following conjunction list, we don't return any results: for, and, nor, but, or, so
+   - We don't have 'yet' (synonym of 'now') on the list, because this could block results in some languages.
+- The first word of the query has to be a full match with a word in the label or tag list. 
+- For both requirements we compare case-insensitive.
+
+
+## [Unit Tests](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate.UnitTests)
+We have a [Unit Test project](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate.UnitTests) that executes various test to ensure that the plugin works as expected.
+
+### [`TimeDateResultTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate.UnitTests/TimeDateResultTests.cs)
+- The [`TimeDateResultTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate.UnitTests/TimeDateResultTests.cs) class contains tests to validate that the time and date values are correctly formatted/calculated.
+- That we can execute the tests at any time on any machine, we use a specified date/time value and set the thread culture always to `en-us` while executing the tests.
+- Some tests contain checks that calculate the expected result at runtime instead of using an expected value written fix in the code. This is done to get valid results on every machine at any time.
+
+### [`ImageTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate.UnitTests/ImageTests.cs)
+- The [`ImageTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate.UnitTests/ImageTests.cs) class contains tests to validate that each result shows the expected and correct image.

+
+### [`PluginSettingsTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate.UnitTests/PluginSettingsTests.cs)
+- The [`PluginSettingsTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.PowerToys.Run.Plugin.TimeDate.UnitTests/PluginSettingsTests.cs) class contains tests to validate that all settings exist and that they have the correct default values.

+# Windows Settings Plugin
+
+The Windows settings Plugin allows users to search the Windows settings.
+
+## Special functions (differ from the regular functions)
+
+* Support modern Windows settings (Windows 10+)
+* Support legacy Windows settings (Windows 7, 8.1)
+* Support extra programs for setting (like ODBC)
+
+* Support search by the area of the setting (like `Privacy`)
+* Support search for alternative names of a setting
+
+## How to add a new Windows Setting or change one
+
+All Windows settings are located in `WindowsSettings.json` in root folder of the project.
+The `WindowsSettings.json` use a JSON schema file that make it easier to edit it.
+
+| Key                 | Optional | Value type        | String prefix |
+| ------------------- | -------- | ----------------- | ------------- |
+| `Name`              | **No**   | String            |               |
+| `Type`              | **No**   | String            | `App`         |
+| `Command`           | **No**   | String            |               |
+| `Areas`             | Yes      | List with strings | `Area`        |
+| `AltNames`          | Yes      | List with strings |               |
+| `Note`              | Yes      | String            | `Note`        |
+| `IntroducedInBuild` | Yes      | Integer           |               |
+| `DeprecatedInBuild` | Yes      | Integer           |               |
+| `ShowAsFirstResult` | Yes      | Boolean           |               |
+
+A minimum entry for the `WindowsSettings.json` looks like:
+
+```json
+  {
+    "Name": "mySetting",
+    "Type": "AppSettingsApp",
+    "Command": "ms-settings:mySetting"
+  }
+```
+
+A full entry for the `WindowsSettings.json` looks like:
+
+```json
+  {
+    "Name": "mySetting",
+    "Type": "AppSettingsApp",
+    "Command": "ms-settings:mySetting",
+    "Areas": [ "AreaMySettingArea" ],
+    "AltNames": [ "NiceSetting" ],
+    "Note": "NoteMySettingNote",
+    "IntroducedInBuild" : 1903,
+    "DeprecatedInBuild" : 2004,
+    "ShowAsFirstResult" : true
+  }
+```
+
+### Remarks
+
+* The `Command` for modern Windows settings should start with `ms-settings:`
+* The `Command` for legacy Windows settings should start with `control`
+* The integer value for `IntroducedInBuild` and  `DeprecatedInBuild` must be in range of `0` to `4294967295`
+* The strings for `Name`, `AltNames`, `Areas`, `Type` and `Note` must not contain whitespace(s) or special characters (#, €, $, etc.)
+* The strings for `Name`, `AltNames`, `Areas`, `Type` and `Note` are used as ids for the resource file under `Properties\Resources.resx`
+* When you add new strings make sure you have added all translations for it.
+
+## Scores
+
+There are three different score types with different start values.
+
+| Score type         | Start value  |
+| ------------------ | ------------ |
+| First result score | 10500        |
+| High score         | 10000        |
+| Medium score       |  5000        |
+| Low score          |  1000        |
+
+Each score will decreased by one when a condition match.
+
+| Priority | Condition                                                         | Score type   |
+| -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ |
+| 1.       | Settings name starts with the search value                        | High score   |
+| 2.       | Settings name contain the search value                            | Medium score |
+| 3.       | Setting has no area                                               | Low score    |
+| 4.       | One area of the settings starts with the search value             | Low score    |
+| 5.       | Setting has no alternative name                                   | Low score    |
+| 6.       | One alternative name of the settings starts with the search value | Medium score |
+| x.       | no condition match                                                | Low score    |
+
+### Remarks
+* For each score condition we check if the property "ShowAsFirstResult" of the setting is true. If yes we use the firstResultScore instead of condition`s score.

+# Window Walker plugin
+The window walker plugin matches the user entered query with the open windows on the system.
+The user can switch to the found windows, close them or kill their process.
+
+![Image of Window Walker plugin](/doc/images/launcher/plugins/windowwalker.png)
+
+
+## Remarks
+
+### UWP Apps
+- The process of an UWP app can't be detected correctly for windows that are minimized while searching. At this time they are assigned to the generic process `ApplicationFrameHost.exe`. If the user searches for such an window while it is not minimized, then the process gets assigned correctly/updated. 
+
+### Killing processes
+- Killing the Explorer process is only allowed, if each folder window is running in its own process. (See section `File Explorer setting` below.)
+- You can only kill elevated processes, if you have admin permissions (UAC).
+- If you kill the process of an UWP app window, you kill all instances of the app. All windows are assigned to the same process.
+- Windows of UWP apps don't know their process, until they are searched in non-minimized state.
+
+### File Explorer setting
+- To kill the Process of an Explorer window, each window has to run in a separate process. Otherwise the process is the same one as the shell process and killing the shell process will crash the shell (Windows ui).
+- To enable this behavior the setting `Launch folder windows in a separate process` under `Folder Options > View` has to be enabled. 
+- From PowerToys Run you can open the `Folder options` dialog by clicking the information message in the search results. The information message is only shown when searching with action keyword for explorer windows and can be hidden in the plugin settings.
+- Note: The folder option/process is evaluated in real time. After changing the setting it is enough to search again for the windows.
+
+![Folder options for Window Walker](/doc/images/launcher/plugins/windowwalker_folder_options.png)
+
+
+## Optional plugin settings
+- The optional plugin settings are implemented via the [`ISettingProvider`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/ISettingProvider.cs) interface from `Wox.Plugin` project.
+- All available settings for the plugin are defined in the [`WindowWalkerSettings`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/WindowWalkerSettings.cs) class of the plugin. The settings can be accessed everywhere in the plugin code via the static class instance `WindowWalkerSettings.Instance`.
+- We have the following settings that the user can configure to change the behavior of the plugin:
+
+	| Key | Default value | Name/Description |
+	|--------------|-----------|------------|
+	| `ResultsFromVisibleDesktopOnly` | `false` | Show only results from visible desktop |
+	| `SubtitleShowPid` | `false` | Show process id in subtitle |
+	| `SubtitleShowDesktopName` | `true` | Show desktop name in subtitle (If two or more desktops exist) |
+	| `ConfirmKillProcess` | `true` | Request confirmation when killing a process |
+	| `KillProcessTree` | `false` | Kill process and it's child processes |
+	| `OpenAfterKillAndClose` | `false` | Stay open after closing windows and killing processes (Not working with kill process confirmation) |
+	| `HideKillProcessOnElevatedProcesses` | `false` | Hide "kill process" button if additional permissions required |
+	| `HideExplorerSettingInfo` | `false` | Hide Explorer process information |
+
+
+## Technical details
+
+### [`OpenWindows.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/OpenWindows.cs)
+- The window walker plugin uses the `EnumWindows` function to enumerate all the open windows in the [`OpenWindows.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/OpenWindows.cs) class.
+
+### [`SearchController.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/SearchController.cs)
+- The [`SearchController`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/SearchController.cs) encapsulates the functions needed to search and find matches.
+- It is responsible for updating the search text and performing a fuzzy search on all the open windows.
+
+### [`Window.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/Window.cs)
+- The [`Window`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/Window.cs) class represents a specific window and has functions to get the name of the window, the state of the window (whether it is visible or not), the `SwitchTowindow` function which switches the desktop focus to the selected window and the `CloseThisWindow` function which closes the window. The `SwitchTowindow` action is performed when the user clicks on a window walker plugin result.
+- The `Window` class holds a static cache with the process information of all windows we know so far and each window instance has a property which holds its process information (name, file, ...). The process data in the cache and the window property are of the type `WindowProcess`.
+- To get the desktop information for a window, we use the common [`VirtualDesktopHelper`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Common/VirtualDesktop/VirtualDesktopHelper.cs) in `Wox.Plugin` project. The instance of `VirtualDesktopHelper` is cached in the [`Main`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Main.cs) class of the plugin at runtime. The desktop information is stored in a property of the type [`VDesktop`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Common/VirtualDesktop/VDesktop.cs).
+
+### [`WindowProcess.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/WindowProcess.cs)
+- The [`WindowProcess`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/WindowProcess.cs) class represents a specific process for a window.
+- It contains static methods to query process information from the system and instance methods/properties to hold/retrieve the process information we want to know about a window's process.
+- Additionally, it contains the method `KillThisProcess` to kill the process. (If the user has not enough permissions to kill a process they are requested via UAC.)
+
+### [`ResultHelper.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/ResultHelper.cs)
+- The [`ResultHelper`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/ResultHelper.cs) class contains the code to create the list with all results for PT Run based on the data returned from `SearchController` class.
+- There is a special result that is added if the folder windows doesn't run in separate processes and the user searches for Explorer windows using the action keyword. 
+   - This result informs the user that there is a setting that must be enabled to be able to kill Explorer processes.
+   - The result can be disabled in plugin options. When it is clicked it opens the folder options.
+
+### [`ContextMenuHelper.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/ContextMenuHelper.cs)
+- The [`ContextMenuHelper`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/ContextMenuHelper.cs) class provides the code for the context menu items.
+
+### [`WindowWalkerSettings.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/WindowWalkerSettings.cs)
+- The [`WindowWalkerSettings`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/WindowWalkerSettings.cs) class provides access to all optional plugin settings.
+- The class has a static property called `Instance` that holds an instance of the class itself. This allows us to access the settings from everywhere in the plugin code without having additional parameters in our methods.
+
+### Score
+The window walker plugin uses [`FuzzyMatching`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker/Components/FuzzyMatching.cs) to get the matching indices and calculates the score by creating a 2 dimensional array of the window and the query text.
+
+## [Unit Tests](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker.UnitTests)
+We have a [Unit Test project](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker.UnitTests) that executes various test to ensure that the plugin works as expected.
+
+### [`PluginSettingsTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker.UnitTests/PluginSettingsTests.cs)
+- The [`PluginSettingsTests.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Plugins/Microsoft.Plugin.WindowWalker.UnitTests/PluginSettingsTests.cs) class contains tests to validate that all settings exist and that they have the correct default values.

+## Project Description
+#### [`PowerLauncher`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher)
+This is the startup project for the `PowerToys Run.` It is a WPF desktop application and follows the `Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)` design pattern. Plugins play the role of `Model` and provide data to `ViewModel.`
+
+#### [`PowerLauncher.Telemetry`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry)
+[`PowerLauncher.Telemetry`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry) is a .net core project that contains telemetry events generated by `PowerLauncher.` These events have been discussed in detail [here](/doc/devdocs/modules/launcher/telemetry.md). 
+
+#### [`Wox.Core`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Core)
+[`Wox.Core`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Core) is a .net core project that contains helper classes required by the `PowerLauncher` project. Two major functionalities encapsulated in this project are [`PluginManager`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Core/Plugin/PluginManager.cs) and [`Query Builder.`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Core/Plugin/QueryBuilder.cs) [`PluginManager`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Core/Plugin/PluginManager.cs) provides an interface for managing C# plugins. [`Query Builder.`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Core/Plugin/QueryBuilder.cs) decimate user-typed query string and creates a [`Query`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Query.cs) object. [`Query`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Query.cs) object contains the action keyword and cleaned query, which is then sent to all plugins.
+
+#### [`Wox.Infrastructure`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Infrastructure)
+[`Wox.Infrastructure`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Infrastructure) is a .net core project that contains helper classes required for image manipulation and storage by the `PowerLauncher` project and the plugins. [`ImageLoader.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Infrastructure/Image/ImageLoader.cs) class is used to load icons for `Win32` program. It also provides caching functionality to speed up image loading for frequently queried programs. 
+
+#### [`Wox.Plugin`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin) 
+[`Wox.Plugin`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin) contains interfaces that facilitate communication between `PowerLauncher` and plugins. These interfaces have been discussed in detail [here](/doc/devdocs/modules/launcher/architecture.md#flow-of-data-between-viewmodels-and-pluginsmodel). It also contains a helper class for logging. [`Log.cs`](/src/modules/launcher/Wox.Plugin/Logger/Log.cs) provides an abstraction for logging error, information, and output to text files. These files are stored at `%userprofile%/appdata/local/microsoft/powertoys/powertoys run/Logs.`

+# Telemetry
+## Overview
+`PowerLauncher.Telemetry` project contains telemetry events generated by `PowerToys Run.` These event classes are derived from the [`EventBase`](/src/common/ManagedTelemetry/Telemetry/Events/EventBase.cs) class and [`IEvent`](/src/common/ManagedTelemetry/Telemetry/Events/IEvent.cs) class. [`IEvent`](/src/common/ManagedTelemetry/Telemetry/Events/IEvent.cs) class provides the lowest level abstraction, containing attributes such as privacy tags needed for every telemetry data. [`EventBase`](/src/common/ManagedTelemetry/Telemetry/Events/EventBase.cs) class provides a higher-level abstraction, having attributes common to all `PowerToys` telemetry events.
+
+## Events
+The following events are generated by `PowerLauncher`: 
+1. [`LauncherBootEvent`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry/Events/LauncherBootEvent.cs): This event captures the time taken by `PowerLauncher` to load all plugins, perform cold start, and setup UI environment. 
+2. [`LauncherHideEvent`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry/Events/LauncherHideEvent.cs): This event is generated when the `PowerLauncher` window is hidden.
+3. [`LauncherColdStateHotkeyEvent`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry/Events/LauncherColdStateHotkeyEvent.cs): This event logs time from the first Alt+Space press till the `PowerLauncher` window is visible.
+4. [`LauncherFirstDeleteEvent`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry/Events/LauncherFirstDeleteEvent.cs): This event is generated after the first delete is pressed after `PowerLauncher` is visible.
+5. [`LauncherQueryEvent`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry/Events/LauncherQueryEvent.cs): This event is generated for every query that is typed in the searchbox. It logs query time, number of results, and query length.
+6. [`LauncherResultActionEvent`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry/Events/LauncherResultActionEvent.cs): This event is generated when a context menu action is triggered.
+7. [`LauncherShowEvent`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry/Events/LauncherShowEvent.cs): This event is generated when the `PowerLauncher` window is shown.
+8. [`LauncherWarmStateHotkeyEvent`](/src/modules/launcher/PowerLauncher.Telemetry/Events/LauncherWarmStateHotkeyEvent.cs): This event logs time from the Alt+Space press until the PT Run window is visible.

+# Developer Preview (Monaco)
+
+Developer preview is based on [Microsofts Monaco Editor](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/) which is maintained by the Visual Studio Code team.
+
+## Update monaco editor
+
+1. Download Monaco editor with npm: `npm i monaco-editor`.
+2. Delete everything except the `min` folder (the minimised code).
+3. Copy the `min` folder inside the [`monacoSRC`](/src/modules/previewpane/MonacoPreviewHandler/monacoSRC) folder.
+4. Generate the JSON file (see section below)
+
+## monaco_languages.json
+
+[`monaco_languages.json`](/src/modules/previewpane/MonacoPreviewHandler/monaco_languages.json) contains all extensions and Id's for the supported languages of Monaco. The [`FileHandler`](/src/modules/previewpane/MonacoPreviewHandler/FileHandler.cs) class and the installer are using this file.
+
+### Generate monaco_languages.json file
+
+After you updated monaco editor or adding a new language you should update the [`monaco_languages.json`](/src/modules/previewpane/MonacoPreviewHandler/monaco_languages.json) file.
+
+You have to run the file on a local webserver!
+
+1. Build monaco in debug mode.
+2. Open [generateLanguagesJson.html](/src/modules/previewpane/MonacoPreviewHandler/generateLanguagesJson.html) in a browser.
+3. Replace the old JSON file.

 - Before starting to work on a fix/feature, make sure there is an open issue to track the work.
 - Add the `In progress` label to the issue, if not already present also add a `Cost-Small/Medium/Large` estimate and make sure all appropriate labels are set.
 - If you are a community contributor, you will not be able to add labels to the issue, in that case just add a comment saying that you started to work on the issue and try to give an estimate for the delivery date.
 - If the work item has a medium/large cost, using the markdown task list, list each sub item and update the list with a check mark after completing each sub item.
 - When opening a PR, follow the PR template.
+- When you'd like the team to take a look, (even if the work is not yet fully-complete), mark the PR as 'Ready For Review' so that the team can review your work and provide comments, suggestions, and request changes. It may take several cycles, but the end result will be solid, testable, conformant code that is safe for us to merge.
 - When the PR is approved, let the owner of the PR merge it. For community contributions the reviewer that approved the PR can also merge it.
 - Use the `Squash and merge` option to merge a PR, if you don't want to squash it because there are logically different commits, use `Rebase and merge`.

 Some PowerToys modules require being run with the highest permission level if the current user is a member of the Administrators group. The highest permission level is required to be able to perform some actions when an elevated application (e.g. Task Manager) is in the foreground or is the target of an action. Without elevated privileges some PowerToys modules will still work but with some limitations:
 
-- the `FancyZones` module will be not be able to move an elevated window to a zone.
-- the `Shortcut Guide` module will not appear if the foreground window belongs to an elevated application.
+- The `FancyZones` module will be not be able to move an elevated window to a zone.
+- The `Shortcut Guide` module will not appear if the foreground window belongs to an elevated application.
 
 To run and debug PowerToys from Visual Studio when the user is a member of the Administrators group, Visual Studio has to be started with elevated privileges. If you want to avoid running Visual Studio with elevated privileges and don't mind the limitations described above, you can do the following: open the `runner` project properties and navigate to the `Linker -> Manifest File` settings, edit the `UAC Execution Level` property and change it from `highestAvailable (level='highestAvailable')` to `asInvoker (/level='asInvoker')`, save the changes.
