-# Fix Active PR Comments
-
-## Mission
-Resolve active pull request comments by applying only simple fixes. For complex refactors, write a plan instead of changing code.
-
-## Scope & Preconditions
-- You must have an active pull request context or a provided PR number.
-- Only implement simple changes. Do not implement large refactors.
-- If required context is missing, request it and stop.
-
-## Inputs
-- Required: ${input:pr_number:PR number or URL}
-- Optional: ${input:comment_scope:files or areas to focus on}
-- Optional: ${input:fixing_guidelines:additional fixing guidelines from the user}
-
-## Workflow
-1. Locate all active (unresolved) PR review comments for the given PR.
-2. For each comment, classify the change scope:
-   - Simple change: limited edits, localized fix, low risk, no broad redesign.
-   - Large refactor: multi-file redesign, architecture change, or risky behavior change.
-3. For each large refactor request:
-   - Do not modify code.
-   - Write a planning document to Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/.
-4. For each simple change request:
-   - Implement the fix with minimal edits.
-   - Run quick checks if needed.
-   - Commit and push the change.
-5. For comments that seem invalid, unclear, or not applicable (even if simple):
-   - Do not change code.
-   - Add the item to a summary table in Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/overview.md.
-   - Consult back to the end user in a friendly, polite tone.
-6. Respond to each comment that you fixed:
-   - Reply in the active conversation.
-   - Use a polite or friendly tone.
-   - Keep the response under 200 words.
-   - Resolve the comment after replying.
-
-## Output Expectations
-- Simple fixes: code changes committed and pushed.
-- Large refactors: a plan file saved to Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/.
-- Invalid or unclear comments: captured in Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/overview.md.
-- Each fixed comment has a reply under 200 words and is resolved.
-
-## Plan File Template
-Use this template for each large refactor item:
-
-# Fix Plan: <short title>
-
-## Context
-- Comment link:
-- Impacted areas:
-
-## Overview Table Template
-Use this table in Generated Files/prReview/${input:pr_number}/fixPlan/overview.md:
-
-| Comment link | Summary | Reason not applied | Suggested follow-up |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- |
-|  |  |  |  |
-
-## Quality Assurance
-- Verify plan file path exists.
-- Ensure no code changes were made for large refactor items.
-- Confirm replies are under 200 words and comments are resolved.

-# 🧭 Creating a new PowerToy: end-to-end developer guide
-
-First of all, thank you for wanting to contribute to PowerToys. The work we do would not be possible without the support of community supporters like you.
-
-This guide documents the process of building a new PowerToys utility from scratch, including architecture decisions, integration steps, and common pitfalls.
-
----
-
-## 1. Overview and prerequisites
-
-A PowerToy module is a self-contained utility integrated into the PowerToys ecosystem. It can be UI-based, service-based, or both.
-
-### Requirements
-
-- [Visual Studio 2026](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and the following workloads/individual components:
-  - Desktop Development with C++
-  - WinUI application development
-  - .NET desktop development
-  - Windows 10 SDK (10.0.22621.0)
-  - Windows 11 SDK (10.0.26100.3916)
-- .NET 8 SDK
-- Fork the [PowerToys repository](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main) locally
-- [Validate that you are able to build and run](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/development/debugging.md) `PowerToys.slnx`.
-
-Optional: 
-- [WiX v5 toolset](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main) for the installer
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> To ensure all the correct VS Workloads are installed, use [the WinGet configuration files](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/e13d6a78aafbcf32a4bb5f8581d041e1d057c3f1/.config) in the project repository. (Use the one that matches your VS distribution. ie: VS Community would use `configuration.winget`)
-
-### Folder structure
-
-```
-src/
-  modules/
-    your_module/
-      YourModule.sln
-      YourModuleInterface/
-      YourModuleUI/ (if needed)
-      YourModuleService/ (if needed)
-```
-
----
-## 2. Design and planning
-
-### Decide the type of module
-
-Think about how your module works and which existing modules behave similarly. You are going to want to think about the UI needed for the application, the lifecycle, whether it is a service that is always running or event based. Below are some basic scenarios with some modules to explore. You can write your application in C++ or C#.
-- **UI-only:** e.g., ColorPicker
-- **Background service:** e.g., LightSwitch, Awake
-- **Hybrid (UI + background logic):** e.g., ShortcutGuide
-- **C++/C# interop:** e.g., PowerRename 
-
-### Write your module interface
-
-Begin by setting up the [PowerToy module template project](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/tools/project_template). This will generate boilerplate for you to begin your new module. Below are the key headers in the Module Interface (`dllmain.cpp`) and an explanation of their purpose:
-1. This is where module settings are defined. These can be anything from strings, bools, ints, and even custom Enums.
-```c++
-struct ModuleSettings {};
-```
-
-2. This is the header for the full class. It inherits the PowerToyModuleIface
-```c++
-class ModuleInterface : public PowertoyModuleIface 
-{
-  private:
-    // the private members of the class
-    // Can include the enabled variable, logic for event handlers, or hotkeys.
-  public:
-    // the public members of the class
-    // Will include the constructor and initialization logic.
-}
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> Many of the class functions are boilerplate and need simple string replacements with your module name. The rest of the functions below will require bigger changes.
-
-3. GPO stands for "Group Policy Object" and allows for administrators to configure settings across a network of machines. It is required that your module is on this list of settings. You can right click the `powertoys_gpo` object to go to the definition and set up the `getConfiguredModuleEnabledValue` for your module.
-```c++
-virtual powertoys_gpo::gpo_rule_configured_t gpo_policy_enabled_configuration() override
-{
-    return powertoys_gpo::getConfiguredModuleEnabledValue();
-}
-```
-
-4. `init_settings()` initializes the settings for the interface. Will either pull from existing settings.json or use defaults.
-```c++
-void ModuleInterface::init_settings()
-```
-
-5. `get_config` retrieves the settings from the settings.json file.
-```c++
-virtual bool get_config(wchar_t* buffer, int* buffer_size) override
-```
-
-6. `set_config` sets the new settings to the settings.json file.
-```c++
-virtual void set_config(const wchar_t* config) override
-```
-
-7. `call_custom_action` allows custom actions to be called based on signals from the settings app.
-```c++
-void call_custom_action(const wchar_t* action) override
-```
-
-8. Lifecycle events control whether the module is enabled or not, as well as the default status of the module.
-```c++
-virtual void enable() // starts the module
-virtual void disable() // terminates the module and performs any cleanup
-virtual bool is_enabled() // returns if the module is currently enabled
-virtual bool is_enabled_by_default() const override // allows the module to dictate whether it should be enabled by default in the PowerToys app.
-```
-
-9. Hotkey functions control the status of the hotkey.
-```c++
-// takes the hotkey from settings into a format that the interface can understand
-void parse_hotkey(PowerToysSettings::PowerToyValues& settings) 
-
-// returns the hotkeys from settings
-virtual size_t get_hotkeys(Hotkey* hotkeys, size_t buffer_size) override 
-
-// performs logic when the hotkey event is fired
-virtual bool on_hotkey(size_t hotkeyId) override 
-```
-
-### Notes
-
-- Keep module logic isolated under `/modules/<YourModule>`
-- Use shared utilities from [`common`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/src/common) instead of cross-module dependencies
-- init/set/get config use preset functions to access the settings. Check out the [`settings_objects.h`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/common/SettingsAPI/settings_helpers.h) in `src\common\SettingsAPI`
-
----
-## 3. Bootstrapping your module
-
-1. Use the [template](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/tree/main/tools/project_template) to generate the module interface starter code.
-2. Update all projects and namespaces with your module name.
-3. Update GUIDs in `.vcxproj` and solution files.
-4. Update the functions mentioned in the above section with your custom logic.
-5. In order for your module to be detected by the runner you are required to add  references to various lists. In order to register your module, add the corresponding module reference to the lists that can be found in the following files. (Hint: search other modules names to find the lists quicker)
-    - `src/runner/modules.h`
-    - `src/runner/modules.cpp`
-    - `src/runner/resource.h`
-    - `src/runner/settings_window.h`
-    - `src/runner/settings_window.cpp`
-    - `src/runner/main.cpp`
-    - `src/common/logger.h` (for logging)
-6. ModuleInterface should build your `ModuleInterface.dll`. This will allow the runner to interact with your service.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> Mismatched module IDs are one of the most common causes of load failures. Keep your ID consistent across manifest, registry, and service.
-
----
-## 4. Write your service
-
-This is going to look different for every PowerToy. It may be easier to develop the application independently, and then link in the PowerToys settings logic later. But you have to write the service first, before connecting it to the runner.
-
-### Notes
-
-- This is a separate project from the Module Interface.
-- You can develop this project using C# or C++.
-- Set the service icon using the `.rc` file.
-- Set the service name in the `.vcxproj` by setting the `<TargetName>`
-```
-<PropertyGroup>
-  <OutDir>..\..\..\..\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\$(MSBuildProjectName)\</OutDir>
-  <TargetName>PowerToys.LightSwitchService</TargetName>
-</PropertyGroup>
-```
-- To view the code of the `.vcxproj`, right click the item and select **Unload project**
-- Use the following functions to interact with settings from your service
-```
-ModuleSettings::instance().InitFileWatcher();
-ModuleSettings::instance().LoadSettings();
-auto& settings = ModuleSettings::instance().settings();
-```
-These come from the `ModuleSettings.h` file that lives with the Service. You can copy this from another module (e.g., Light Switch) and adjust to fit your needs.
-
-If your module has a user interface:
-- Use the **WinUI Blank App** template when setting up your project
-- Use [Windows design best practices](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/design/basics/)
-- Use the [WinUI 3 Gallery](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p3jfpwwdzrc) for help with your UI code, and additional guidance.
-
-## 5. Settings integration
-
-PowerToys settings are stored per-module as JSON under:
-
-```
-%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\<module>\settings.json
-```
-
-### Implementation steps
-
-- In `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI.Library\` create `<module>Properties.cs` and `<module>Settings.cs`
-- `<module>Properties.cs` is where you will define your defaults. Every setting needs to be represented here. This should match what was set in the Module Interface.
-- `<module>Settings.cs`is where your settings.json will be built from. The structure should match the following
-```cs
-public ModuleSettings()
-{
-    Name = ModuleName;
-    Version = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();
-    Properties = new ModuleProperties(); // settings properties you set above.
-}
-```
-
-- In `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\ViewModels` create `<module>ViewModel.cs` this is where the interaction happens between your settings page in the PowerToys app and the settings file that is stored on the device. Changes here will trigger the settings watcher via a `NotifyPropertyChanged` event.
-- Create a `SettingsPage.xaml` at `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\SettingsXAML\Views`. This will be the page where the user interacts with the settings of your module.
-- Be sure to use resource strings for user facing strings so they can be localized. (`x:Uid` connects to Resources.resw)
-```xaml
-// LightSwitch.xaml
-<ComboBoxItem
-    x:Uid="LightSwitch_ModeOff"
-    AutomationProperties.AutomationId="OffCBItem_LightSwitch"
-    Tag="Off" />
-
-// Resources.resw
-<data name="LightSwitch_ModeOff.Content" xml:space="preserve">
-  <value>Off</value>
-</data>
-```
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> In the above example we use `.Content` to target the content of the Combobox. This can change per UI element (e.g., `.Text`, `.Header`, etc.)
-
-> **Reminder:** Manual changes via external editors (VS Code, Notepad) do **not** trigger the settings watcher. Only changes written through PowerToys trigger reloads.
-
----
-
-### Gotchas:
-
-- Only use the WinUI 3 framework, _not_ UWP.
-- Use [`DispatcherQueue`](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/develop/dispatcherqueue) when updating UI from non-UI threads.
-
----
-## 6. Building and debugging
-
-### Debugging steps
-
-1. If this is your first time debugging PowerToys, be sure to follow [these steps first](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/development/debugging.md#pre-debugging-setup).
-2. Set "runner" as the start up project and ensure your build configuration is set to match your system (ARM64/x64)
-3. Select <kbd>F5</kbd> or the **Local Windows Debugger** button to begin debugging. This should start the PowerToys runner.
-4. To set breakpoints in your service, select Ctrl+Alt+P and search for your service to attach to the runner.
-5. Use logs to document changes. The logs live at `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\RunnerLogs` and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\Module\Service\<version>` for the specific module.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> PowerToys caches `.nuget` artifacts aggressively. Use `git clean -xfd` when builds behave unexpectedly.
-
----
-## 7. Installer and packaging (WiX)
-
-### Add your module to installer
-
-1. Install [`WixToolset.Heat`](https://www.nuget.org/packages/WixToolset.Heat/) for Wix5 via nuget
-2. Inside `installer\PowerToysInstallerVNext` add a new file for your module: `Module.wxs`
-3. Inside of this file you will need copy the format from another module (ie: Light Switch) and replace the strings and GUID values.
-4. The key part will be `<!--ModuleNameFiles_Component_Def-->` which is a placeholder for code that will be generated by `generateFileComponents.ps1`.
-5. Inside `Product.wxs` add a line item in the `<Feature Id="CoreFeature" ... >` section. It will look like a list of ` <ComponentGroupRef Id="ModuleComponentGroup" />` items.
-6. Inside `generateFileComponents.ps1` you will need to add an entry to the bottom for your new module. It will follow the following format. `-fileListName <Module>Files` will match the string you set in `Module.wxs`, `<ModuleServiceName>` will match the name of your exe.
-```bash
-# Module Name
-Generate-FileList -fileDepsJson "" -fileListName <Module>Files -wxsFilePath $PSScriptRoot\<Module>.wxs -depsPath "$PSScriptRoot..\..\..\$platform\Release\<ModuleServiceName>"
-Generate-FileComponents -fileListName "<Module>Files" -wxsFilePath $PSScriptRoot\<Module>.wxs -regroot $registryroot
-```
----
-## 8. Testing and validation
-
-### UI tests
-
-- Place under `/modules/<YourModule>/Tests`
-- Create a new [WinUI Unit Test App](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/winui/winui3/testing/create-winui-unit-test-project)
-- Write unit tests following the format from previous modules (ie: Light Switch). This can be to test your standalone UI (if you're a module like Color Picker) or to verify that the Settings UI in the PowerToys app is controlling your service.
-
-### Manual validation
-
-- Enable/disable in PowerToys Settings
-- Check initialization in logs
-- Confirm icons, tooltips, and OOBE page appear correctly
-
-### Pro tips
-
-1. Validate wake/sleep and elevation states. Background modules often fail silently after resume if event handles aren’t recreated.
-2. Use Windows Sandbox to simulate clean install environments
-3. To simulate a "new user" you can delete the PowerToys folder from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft`
-
-### Shortcut conflict detection
-
-If your module has a shortcut, ensure that it is properly registered following [the steps listed in the documentation](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/core/settings/settings-implementation.md#shortcut-conflict-detection) for conflict detection.
-
----
-## 9. The final touches
-
-### Out-of-Box experience (OOBE) page
-
-The OOBE page is a custom settings page that gives the user at a glance information about each module. This window opens before the Settings application for new users and after updates. Create `OOBE<ModuleName>.xaml` at `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\SettingsXAML\OOBE\Views`. You will also need to add your module name to the enum at `src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\OOBE\Enums\PowerToysModules.cs`.
-
-### Module assets
-
-Now that your PowerToy is _done_ you can start to think about the assets that will represent your module.
-- Module Icon: This will be displayed in a number of places: OOBE page, in the README, on the home screen of PowerToys, on your individual module settings page, etc.  
-- Module Image: This is the image you see at the top of each individual settings page.
-- OOBE Image: This is the header you see on the OOBE page for each module
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> This step is something that the Design team will handle internally to ensure consistency throughout the application. If you have ideas or recommendations on what the icon or screenshots should be for your module feel free to leave it in the "Additional Comments" section of the PR and the team will take it into consideration.
-
-### Documentation
-
-There are two types of documentation that will be required when submitting a new PowerToy:
-1. Developer documentation: This will live in the [PowerToys repo](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/doc/devdocs/modules) at `/doc/devdocs/modules/` and should tell a developer how to work on your app. It should outline the module architecture, key files, testing, and tips on debugging if necessary.
-2. Microsoft Learn documentation: When your new Module is ready to be merged into the PowerToys repository, an internal team member will create Microsoft Learn documentation so that users will understand how to use your module. There is not much work on your end as the developer for this step, but keep an eye on your PR in case we need more information about your PowerToy for this step.

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

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