-description: PowerToys AI contributor guidance.
-applyTo: pullRequests
---
-
-# PowerToys - Copilot guide (concise)
-
-This is the top-level guide for AI changes. Keep edits small, follow existing patterns, and cite exact paths in PRs.
-
-# Repo map (1-line per area)
- Core apps: `src/runner/**` (tray/loader), `src/settings-ui/**` (Settings app)
- Shared libs: `src/common/**`
- Modules: `src/modules/*` (one per utility; Command Palette in `src/modules/cmdpal/**`)
- Build tools/docs: `tools/**`, `doc/devdocs/**`
-
-# Build and test (defaults)
- Prerequisites: Visual Studio 2022 17.4+, minimal Windows 10 1803+.
- Build discipline:
-  - One terminal per operation (build -> test). Do not switch or open new ones mid-flow.
-  - After making changes, `cd` to the project folder that changed (`.csproj`/`.vcxproj`).
-  - Use scripts to build, synchronously block and wait in foreground for completion: `tools/build/build.ps1|.cmd` (current folder), `build-essentials.*` (once per brand new build for missing nuget packages).
-  - Treat build exit code 0 as success; any non-zero exit code is a failure. Read the errors log in the build folder (such as `build.*.*.errors.log`) and surface problems.
-  - Do not start tests or launch Runner until the previous step succeeded.
- Tests (fast and targeted):
-  - Find the test project by product code prefix (for example FancyZones, AdvancedPaste). Look for a sibling folder or one to two levels up named like `<Product>*UnitTests` or `<Product>*UITests`.
-  - Build the test project, wait for exit, then run only those tests via VS Test Explorer or `vstest.console.exe` with filters. Avoid `dotnet test` in this repo.
-  - Add or adjust tests when changing behavior; if skipped, state why (for example comment-only or string rename).
-
-# Pull requests (expectations)
- Atomic: one logical change; no drive-by refactors.
- Describe: problem, approach, risk, test evidence.
- List: touched paths if not obvious.
-
-# When to ask for clarification
- Ambiguous spec after scanning relevant docs (see below).
- Cross-module impact (shared enum or struct) not clear.
- Security, elevation, or installer changes.
-
-# Logging (use existing stacks)
- C++ logging lives in `src/common/logger/**` (`Logger::info`, `Logger::warn`, `Logger::error`, `Logger::debug`). Keep hot paths quiet (hooks, tight loops).
- C# logging goes through `ManagedCommon.Logger` (`LogInfo`, `LogWarning`, `LogError`, `LogDebug`, `LogTrace`). Some UIs use injected `ILogger` via `LoggerInstance.Logger`.
-
-# Docs to consult
- `tools/build/BUILD-GUIDELINES.md`
- `doc/devdocs/core/architecture.md`
- `doc/devdocs/core/runner.md`
- `doc/devdocs/core/settings/readme.md`
- `doc/devdocs/modules/readme.md`
-
-# Language style rules
- Always enforce repo analyzers: root `.editorconfig` plus any `stylecop.json`.
- C# code follows StyleCop.Analyzers and Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers.
- C++ code honors `.clang-format` plus `.clang-tidy` (modernize/cppcoreguidelines/readability).
- Markdown files wrap at 80 characters and use ATX headers with fenced code blocks that include language tags.
- YAML files indent two spaces and add comments for complex settings while keeping keys clear.
- PowerShell scripts use Verb-Noun names and prefer single-quoted literals while documenting parameters and satisfying PSScriptAnalyzer.
-
-# Done checklist (self review before finishing)
- Build clean? Tests updated or passed? No unintended formatting? Any new dependency? Documented skips?

-description: 'Generate an 80-character git commit title for the local diff.'
---
-
-**Goal:** Provide a ready-to-paste git commit title (<= 80 characters) that captures the most important local changes since `HEAD`.
-
-**Workflow:**
-1. Run a single command to view the local diff since the last commit:
-   ```@terminal
-   git diff HEAD
-   ```
-2. From that diff, identify the dominant area (reference key paths like `src/modules/*`, `doc/devdocs/**`, etc.), the type of change (bug fix, docs update, config tweak), and any notable impact.
-3. Draft a concise, imperative commit title summarizing the dominant change. Keep it plain ASCII, <= 80 characters, and avoid trailing punctuation. Mention the primary component when obvious (for example `FancyZones:` or `Docs:`).
-4. Respond with only the final commit title on a single line so it can be pasted directly into `git commit`.

-description: 'Generate a PowerToys-ready pull request description from the local diff.'
---
-
-**Goal:** Produce a ready-to-paste PR title and description that follows PowerToys conventions by comparing the current branch against a user-selected target branch.
-
-**Repo guardrails:**
- Treat `.github/pull_request_template.md` as the single source of truth; load it at runtime instead of embedding hardcoded content in this prompt.
- Preserve section order from the template but only surface checklist lines that are relevant for the detected changes, filling them with `[x]`/`[ ]` as appropriate.
- Cite touched paths with inline backticks, matching the guidance in `.github/copilot-instructions.md`.
- Call out test coverage explicitly: list automated tests run (unit/UI) or state why they are not applicable.
-
-**Workflow:**
-1. Determine the target branch from user context; default to `main` when no branch is supplied.
-2. Run `git status --short` once to surface uncommitted files that may influence the summary.
-3. Run `git diff <target-branch>...HEAD` a single time to review the detailed changes. Only when confidence stays low dig deeper with focused calls such as `git diff <target-branch>...HEAD -- <path>`.
-4. From the diff, capture impacted areas, key file changes, behavioral risks, migrations, and noteworthy edge cases.
-5. Confirm validation: list tests executed with results or state why tests were skipped in line with repo guidance.
-6. Load `.github/pull_request_template.md`, mirror its section order, and populate it with the gathered facts. Include only relevant checklist entries, marking them `[x]/[ ]` and noting any intentional omissions as "N/A".
-7. Present the filled template inside a fenced ```markdown code block with no extra commentary so it is ready to paste into a PR, clearly flagging any placeholders that still need user input.

-description: 'Resolve Code scanning / check-spelling comments on the active PR.'
---
-
-**Goal:** Clear every outstanding GitHub pull request comment created by the `Code scanning / check-spelling` workflow by explicitly allowing intentional terms.
-
-**Guardrails:**
- Update only discussion threads authored by `github-actions` or `github-actions[bot]` that mention `Code scanning results / check-spelling`.
- Resolve findings solely by editing `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`; reuse existing entries.
- Leave all other files and topics untouched.
-
-**Prerequisites:**
- Install GitHub CLI if it is not present: `winget install GitHub.cli`.
- Run `gh auth login` once before the first CLI use.
-
-**Workflow:**
-1. Determine the active pull request with a single `gh pr view --json number` call (default to the current branch).
-2. Fetch all PR discussion data once via `gh pr view --json comments,reviews` and filter to check-spelling comments authored by `github-actions` or `github-actions[bot]` that are not minimized; when several remain, process only the most recent comment body.
-3. For each flagged token, review `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt` for an equivalent term (for example an existing lowercase variant); when found, reuse that normalized term rather than adding a new entry, even if the flagged token differs only by casing. Only add a new entry after confirming no equivalent already exists.
-4. Add any remaining missing token to `.github/actions/spell-check/expect.txt`, keeping surrounding formatting intact.

+### Command Palette Ahead-of-Time (AOT) readiness

-### Find My Mouse
- - Added transparent spotlight support with separate backdrop opacity; migrated to Windows App SDK composition APIs.
+ - We’ve made foundational changes to prepare the Command Palette for future Ahead-of-Time (AOT) publishing. This includes replacing the calculator library with ExprTk, improving COM object handling, refining Win32 interop, and correcting trimming behavior—all to ensure compatibility, performance, and reliability under AOT constraints. All first-party extensions are now AOT-compatible. These improvements lay the groundwork for publishing Command Palette as an AOT application in the next release.

+ - As part of the upcoming release, we’re also enabling AOT compatibility for key dependencies, including markdown rendering, Adaptive Cards, internal logging and telemetry library, and the core Command Palette UX.
+
+### FancyZones
+
+ - Fixed DPI-scaling issues to ensure FancyZones Editor displays crisply on high-resolution monitors. Thanks [@HO-COOH](https://github.com/HO-COOH)! This inspired us a broader review across other PowerToys modules, leading to DPI display optimizations in Awake, Color Picker, PowerAccent, and more.
+
+### File Explorer add-ons
+
+ - Fixed potential failures in PDF previewer and thumbnail generation, improving reliability when browsing PDF files. Thanks [@mohiuddin-khan-shiam](https://github.com/mohiuddin-khan-shiam)!  
+ - Prevented Monaco Preview Handler crash when opening UTF-8-BOM text files.

- **buildSource**: Select the build type for testing:
-  - `latestMainOfficialBuild`: Downloads and uses the latest official PowerToys build from main branch
-  - `buildNow`: Builds PowerToys from current source code and uses it for testing
-  - `specificBuildId`: Downloads a specific PowerToys build using the build ID specified in `specificBuildId` parameter
+- **useLatestOfficialBuild**: When checked, downloads the latest official PowerToys build and installs it for testing. This skips the full solution build and only builds UI test projects.

-  **Default value**: `latestMainOfficialBuild`
+- **useCurrentBranchBuild**: When checked along with `useLatestOfficialBuild`, downloads the official build from the current branch instead of main.

- **specificBuildId**: When `buildSource` is set to `specificBuildId`, specify the exact PowerToys build ID to download and test against.
-
-  **Default value**: `"xxxx"` (placeholder, enter actual build ID when using specificBuildId option)
+  **Default value**: `false` (downloads from main branch)

-  - Testing against a specific known build for reproducibility
-  - Regression testing against a particular build version
-  - Validating fixes in a specific build before release
+  - **Default scenario**: The pipeline tests against the latest signed PowerToys build from the `main` branch, regardless of which branch your test code changes are from

+    - Your branch has produced its own signed PowerToys build via the official build pipeline
+    - You want to test against that specific branch's PowerToys build instead of main
+    - You are testing PowerToys functionality changes that are only available in your branch's build

+  **Important notes**:
+  - The test pipeline itself runs from your specified branch, but by default tests against the main branch's PowerToys build
+  - Not all branches have signed builds available - only use this if you're certain your branch has a signed build
+  - If enabled but no build exists for your branch, the pipeline may fail or fall back to main

-# Shortcut Conflict Detection
-
-Steps to enable conflict detection for a hotkey:
-
-### 1. Implement module interface for hotkeys
-Ensure the module interface provides either `size_t get_hotkeys(Hotkey* hotkeys, size_t buffer_size)` or `std::optional<HotkeyEx> GetHotkeyEx()`.
-
- If not yet implemented, you need to add it so that it returns all hotkeys used by the module.
- **Important**: The order of the returned hotkeys matters. This order is used as an index to uniquely identify each hotkey for conflict detection and lookup.
- For reference, see: `src/modules/AdvancedPaste/AdvancedPasteModuleInterface/dllmain.cpp`
-
-### 2. Implement IHotkeyConfig in the module settings (UI side)
-Make sure the module’s settings file inherits from `IHotkeyConfig` and implements `HotkeyAccessor[] GetAllHotkeyAccessors()`.
-
- This method should return all hotkeys used in the module.
- **Important**: The order of the returned hotkeys must be consistent with step 1 (`get_hotkeys()` or `GetHotkeyEx()`).
- For reference, see: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI.Library/AdvancedPasteSettings.cs`
- **_Note:_** `HotkeyAccessor` is a wrapper around HotkeySettings. 
-It provides both `getter` and `setter` methods to read and update the corresponding hotkey.
-Additionally, each `HotkeyAccessor` requires a resource string that describes the purpose of the hotkey.
-This string is typically defined in: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/Strings/en-us/Resources.resw`
-
-### 3. Update the module’s ViewModel
-The corresponding ViewModel should inherit from `PageViewModelBase` and implement `Dictionary<string, HotkeySettings[]> GetAllHotkeySettings()`.
-
- This method should return all hotkeys, maintaining the same order as in steps 1 and 2.
- For reference, see: `src/settings-ui/Settings.UI/ViewModels/AdvancedPasteViewModel.cs`
-
-### 4. Ensure the module’s Views call `OnPageLoaded()`
-Once the module’s view is loaded, make sure to invoke the ViewModel’s `OnPageLoaded()` method:
-```cs
-Loaded += (s, e) => ViewModel.OnPageLoaded();
-```

-## Developing PowerToys with Visual Studio Code
-
-This guide shows how to build, debug, and contribute to PowerToys using VS Code instead of (or alongside) full Visual Studio. It focuses on common inner‑loop tasks for C++, .NET, and mixed scenarios present in the solution.
-
-> PowerToys is a large mixed C++ / C# / WinAppSDK solution. VS Code works well for incremental development and quick module iterations, but occasionally you may still prefer full Visual Studio for designer tooling or specialized diagnostics.
-
---
-VS Code extensions Needed:
-
-| Area | Extension | Notes |
-|------|-----------|-------|
-| C++ | ms-vscode.cpptools | IntelliSense, debugging (cppvsdbg) |
-| C# | ms-dotnettools.csdevkit (or C#) | Language service / test explorer |
-
---
-
-## Building in VS Code
-### Configure developer powershell for vs2022 for more convenient dev in vscode.
-1. Configure profile in in settings, entry:  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows"
-2. Add below config as entry:
-```json
-    "Developer PowerShell for VS 2022": {
-		// Configure based on your preference
-        "path": "C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\Microsoft.PowerShell_7.5.2.0_arm64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\\pwsh.exe",
-        "args": [
-            "-NoExit",
-            "-Command",
-            "& {",
-            "$orig = Get-Location;",
-            // Configure based on your environment
-            "& 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Enterprise\\Common7\\Tools\\Launch-VsDevShell.ps1';",
-            "Set-Location $orig",
-            "}"
-        ]
-    },
-```
-3. [Optional] Set Developer PowerShell for VS 2022 as your default profile, so that you can get a deep integration with vscode coding agent. 
-
-4. Now You can build with plain `msbuild` or configure tasks.json in below section
-Or reach out to "tools\build\BUILD-GUIDELINES.md"
-
-### Sample plain msbuild command
-```powershell
-# Restore:
-msbuild powertoys.sln -t:restore -p:configuration=debug -p:platform=x64 -m
-
-# Build powertoys sln
-msbuild powertoys.sln -p:configuration=debug -p:platform=x64 -m
-
-# dotnet project
-msbuild src\settings-ui\Settings.UI\PowerToys.Settings.csproj -p:Platform=x64 -p:Configuration=Debug -m
-
-# native project
-msbuild "src\modules\MouseUtils\FindMyMouse\FindMyMouse.vcxproj" -p:Configuration=Debug -p:Platform=x64 -m
-```
-
---
-
-## Debugging
-
-### Existing launch configuration
-
-The repo provides `.vscode/launch.json` with:
-
- `Run PowerToys.exe (no build)`: Launches the already-built executable at `x64/Debug/PowerToys.exe` using `cppvsdbg`.
-
-Build first, then press F5. To switch configuration (Release / ARM64) either edit the path or create additional launch entries.
-
-### Attaching to a running instance
-
-If PowerToys is already running, you can attach to that process:
-
-2. VS Code command palette: “C/C++: (Windows) Attach to Process”.
-3. Filter for `PowerToys.exe` / module-specific processes.
-
-### Debugging managed components
-
-Many modules have a managed component loaded into the PowerToys process. `cppvsdbg` can debug mixed mode, but if you need richer .NET inspection you can create a second configuration using `type: coreclr` and `processId` attachment after the native launch, or just attach separately:
-
-Similar for attach to managed code.
-> Note: In arm64 machine, can only debug arm64 code.

-
-| Task | Command / Action | Notes |
-|------|------------------|-------|
-| Clean | `git clean -xdf` (careful) or `msbuild /t:Clean PowerToys.sln` | Deep clean removes packages & build outputs |
-| Rebuild single project | `msbuild path\to\proj.vcxproj /t:Rebuild -p:Platform=x64 -p:Configuration=Debug` | Faster than whole solution |
-| Generate installer (rare in inner loop) | See `tools\build\build-installer.ps1` | Usually not needed for local debug |
-| Resource conversion errors | Re-run restore + build | Triggers custom PowerShell targets |

-## If for any reason, you'd like to test winget install scenario, you can follow this doc:
-
-### Powertoys winget manifest definition:
-[winget repository](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/PowerToys)
-
-### How to test a winget installation locally:
-1. Get artifacts from release CI pipeline  Pipelines - Runs for PowerToys Signed YAML Release Build, or you can build one yourself by execute the 
- 'tools\build\build-installer.ps1' script
-
-2. Get the artifact hash, this is required to define winget manifest
-```powershell
-cd /path/to/your/directory/contains/installer
-Get-FileHash -Path ".\<Installer-name>.exe" -Algorithm SHA256
-```
- 3.  Host your installer.exe - Attention: staged github release artifacts or artifacts in release pipeline is not OK in this step
-You can self-host it or you can upload to a publicly available endpoint  
-**How to selfhost it** (A extremely simple way):
-```powershell
-python -m http.server 8000
-```
-
-4. Download a version folder from wingetpkgs like: [version 0.92.1](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Microsoft/PowerToys/0.92.1)
-and you get **a folder contains 3 yml files**
->note: Do not put any files other than these three in this folder
-
-5. Modify the yml files based on your version and the self hosted artifact link, and modify the sha256 hash for the installer you'd like to use
-
-6. Start winget install:
-```powershell
-#execute as admin
-winget settings --enable LocalManifestFiles
-winget install --manifest "<folder_path_of_manifest_files>" --architecture x64 --scope user
-```

-
-## Overview
-
-The **Light Switch** module lets users automatically transition between light and dark mode using a timed schedule or a keyboard shortcut.
-
-## Features
-
-* Set custom times to start and stop dark mode.
-* Use geolocation to determine local sunrise and sunset times.
-* Apply offsets in sunrise mode (e.g., 15 minutes before sunset).
-* Quickly toggle between modes with a keyboard shortcut (`Ctrl+Shift+Win+D` by default).
-* Choose whether theme changes apply to:
-
-  * Apps only
-  * System only
-  * Both apps and system
-
-## Architecture
-
-### Main Components
-
-* **Shortcut/Hotkey**
-  Listens for a hotkey event. Calling `onHotkey()` flips the theme flags.
-
-  > **Note:** Using the shortcut overrides the current schedule until the next transition event.
-
-* **LightSwitchService**
-  Reads settings and applies theming. Runs a check every minute to ensure the state is correct.
-
-* **SettingsXAML/LightSwitch**
-  Provides the settings UI for configuring schedules, syncing location, and customizing shortcuts.
-
-* **Settings.UI/ViewModels/LightSwitchViewModel.cs**
-  Handles updates to the settings file and communicates changes to the front end.
-
-* **modules/LightSwitch/Tests**
-  Contains UI tests that verify interactions between the settings UI, system state, and `settings.json`.
-
-### Data Flow
-
-1. User configures settings in the UI (default: manual mode, light mode from 06:00–18:00).
-2. Every minute, the service checks the time.
-
-   * If it’s not a threshold, the service sleeps until the next minute.
-   * If it matches a threshold, the service applies the theme based on settings and returns to sleep.
-3. At **midnight**, when in *Sunrise to Sunset* mode, the service updates daily sunrise and sunset times.
-4. If the machine was asleep during a scheduled event, the service applies the correct settings at the next check.
-
-## User Interface
-
-The module’s settings are exposed in the PowerToys Settings UI. Options include:
-
-* Shortcut customization
-* Mode selection (Manual or Sunrise to Sunset)
-* Manual start/stop times (manual mode only)
-* Automatic sunrise/sunset calculation (location-based)
-* Time offsets (sunrise mode)
-* Target scope (system, apps, or both)
-
-## Development Environment Setup
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-* Visual Studio 2019 or later
-* Windows 10 SDK
-* PowerToys repository cloned from GitHub
-
-### Building and Testing
-
-1. Clone the repo:
-
-   ```sh
-   git clone https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys.git
-   ```
-2. Initialize submodules:
-
-   ```sh
-   git submodule update --init --recursive
-   ```
-3. Build the solution:
-
-   ```sh
-   msbuild -restore -p:RestorePackagesConfig=true -p:Platform=ARM64 -m PowerToys.sln
-   ```
-
-   > Note: This may take some time.
-4. Set `runner` as the startup project and press **F5**.
-5. Enable Light Switch in PowerToys Settings.
-6. To debug the service:
-
-   * Press `Ctrl+Alt+P` or go to **Debug > Attach to Process**.
-   * Select `LightSwitchService.exe` and click **Attach**.
-   * You can now set breakpoints in the service files.
-7. To debug the Settings UI:
-
-   * Set the startup project to `PowerToys.Settings` and press **F5**.
-   * Note: Light Switch settings will not persist in this mode (they depend on the service executable).
-   * Alternatively, you can attach `PowerToys.Settings.exe` to the debugger while `runner` is running to test the full flow with breakpoints.

 ## Overview
-Shortcut Guide is a PowerToy that displays an overlay of available keyboard shortcuts when a user-set keyboard shortcut is pressed. It helps users discover and remember keyboard shortcuts for Windows and apps.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The spec for the manifest files is in development and will be linked here once available.
+Shortcut Guide is a PowerToy that displays an overlay of available keyboard shortcuts when the Windows key is pressed and held. It provides a visual reference for Windows key combinations, helping users discover and utilize built-in Windows shortcuts.

 ## Usage
- Press the user-defined hotkey to display the overlay
- Press the hotkey again or press ESC to dismiss the overlay
+- Press and hold the Windows key to display the overlay of available shortcuts
+- Press the hotkey again to dismiss the overlay

+## 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
-
-### 3.1 Manifest Schema vNext Keyboard Shortcuts File
-
-```
-PackageName:                # The package unique identifier
-WindowFilter:               # The filter of window processes to which the shortcuts apply to
-BackgroundProcess:          # Optionally allows applying WindowFilter to background processes
-Shortcuts:                  # List of sections with keyboard shortcuts
-  - SectionName:            # Name of the category of shortcuts

-# PowerToys Settings – Search Index (Hard-sealed)
-
-## 1. What to index
-
-This section describes the current structure of the settings pages in PowerToys. All user-facing settings are contained in the content of <controls:SettingsPageControl>. The logical and visual structure of settings follows a nested layout as shown below:
-
-```css
-SettingsPageControl
- └─ SettingsGroup
-     └─ [SettingsExpander]
-         └─ SettingsCard
-```
-* Each SettingsGroup defines a functional section within a settings page.
-
-* An optional SettingsExpander may be used to further organize related settings inside a group.
-
-* Each actual setting is represented by a SettingsCard, which contains one user-tweakable control or a group of closely related controls.
-
->Note: Not all SettingsCard are necessarily wrapped in a SettingsExpander; they can exist directly under a SettingsGroup. 
-
-> For indexing purposes, we are specifically targeting all SettingsCard elements. These are the smallest units of user interaction and correspond to individual configurable settings.
-
-> There could be setting item in expander, so we also need to index expander items as well.
-
-### Module
-Module is a primary type that needs to be indexed, for modules, we need to index the 'ModuleTitle' and the 'ModuleDescription'. 
-So these two should be passed in by x:Uid and binding with a key. 
-
-
-### SettingsCard/SettingsExpander
-
-Each SettingsCard/SettingsExpander should have an x:Uid for localization and indexing. The associated display strings are defined in the .resw files:
-
-{x:Uid}.Header – The visible label/title of the setting.
-{x:Uid}.Description – (optional) The tooltip or explanatory text.
-
-The index should be built around these SettingsCard elements and their x:Uid-bound resources, as they represent the actual settings users will search for.
-
---
-
-## 2. How to Navigate
-
-### Entry
-```csharp
-enum EntryType
-{
-    SettingsPage,
-    SettingsCard,
-    SettingsExpander,
-}
-
-public class SearchableElementMetadata
-{
-    public string PageName { get; set; }    // Used to navigate to a specific page
-    public EntryType Type { get; set; }     // Used to know how should we navigate(As a page, a settingscard or an expander?)
-    public string ParentElementName { get; set; }
-    public string ElementName { get; set; }
-    public string ElementUid { get; set; }
-    public string Icon { get; set; }
-}
-```
-
-### Navigation
-The steps for navigate to an item:
-* Navigate among pages
-* [optional] Expand the expander if setting entry is inside an expander
-* [optional] Navigate within page
-
-> Use page name for navigation:
-```csharp
-Type GetPageTypeFromPageName(string PageName)
-{
-    var assembly = typeof(GeneralPage).Assembly;
-    return assembly.GetType($"Microsoft.PowerToys.Settings.UI.Views.{PageName}");
-}
-
-NavigationService.Navigate(PageType, ElementName，ParentElementName);
-```
-
-> Use ElementName and ParentElementName for in page navigation:
-```csharp
-Page.OnNavigateTo(ElementName， ParentElementName){
-    var element = this.FindName(name) as FrameworkElement;
-    var parentElement = this.FindName(ParentElementName) as FrameworkElement;
-
-    if(parentElement) {
-        expander = (Expander)parentElement;
-        if(expander){
-            expander.Expand();
-        }
-
-        // https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.ui.xaml.uielement.startbringintoview?view=winrt-26100        
-        element.StartBringIntoView();
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## 3. Runtime Search
-When user start typing for an entry, e.g. shortcut or 快捷键(cn version of shortcut),
-we need to go through all the entries to see if an entry matches the search text.
-
-A naive approach will be try to match all the localized text one by one and see if they match.
-Total entry is within thousand(To fill in an exact number), performance is acceptable now.
-```csharp
-// Match
-query = UserInput();
-matched = {};
-
-indexes = BuildIndex();
-
-foreach(var entry in indexes) {
-    if(entry.Match(query)) {
-        matched.Add(entry);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-And we don't intend to introduce complexity on the match algorithm discussion, so let's use powertoys FuzzMatch impl for now.
-```csharp
-MatchResult Match(this Entry entry, string query) {
-    return FuzzMatch(entry.DisplayedText, query);
-}
-
-struct MatchResult{
-    int Score;
-    bool Result;
-}
-```
-
-## 4. Search Result Page
-![search result page](./search-result.png)
-After we got matched items, map these items to a search result page according to spec.
-```c#
-ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> ModuleResult;
-ObservableCollection<SettingsGroup> GroupedSettingsResults;
-
-public class SettingsGroup : INotifyPropertyChanged
-{
-    private string _groupName;
-    private ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> _settings;
-    public string GroupName
-    {
-        get => _groupName;
-        set
-        {
-            _groupName = value;
-            OnPropertyChanged();
-        }
-    }
-    public ObservableCollection<SettingEntry> Settings
-    {
-        get => _settings;
-        set
-        {
-            _settings = value;
-            OnPropertyChanged();
-        }
-    }
-    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
-    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
-    {
-        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## 5. How to do Index
-### Runtime index or build time index?
-Now We need to build all the entries in our settings.
-
-Most of the entry properties are static, and in runtime, the `SettingsCard` is compiled into native winUI3 controls <small>(I suppose, please correct here if it's wrong)</small>, it's hard to locate all the `SettingsCard`, and performance is terrible if we do search for all the pages' elements.
-
-### Build time indexing
-We can rely on xaml file parsing to get all the SettingsCard Entries. 
-And we don't want xaml file to be brought into production bundle.
-Use a project for parsing and bring that index file into production bundle is a solution.
-```csproj
-  <Target Name="GenerateSearchIndex" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild">
-    <PropertyGroup>
-      <BuilderExe>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\..\Settings.UI.XamlIndexBuilder\bin\$(Configuration)\net8.0\XamlIndexBuilder.exe</BuilderExe>
-      <XamlDir>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Views</XamlDir>
-      <GeneratedJson>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Services\searchable_elements.json</GeneratedJson>
-    </PropertyGroup>
-    <Exec Command="&quot;$(BuilderExe)&quot; &quot;$(XamlDir)&quot; &quot;$(GeneratedJson)&quot;" />
-  </Target>
-```
-```csharp
-for(xamlFile in xamlFiles){
-    var doc = Load(xamlFile);
-    var elements = doc.Descendants();
-
-    foreach(var element in elements){
-        if(element.Name == "SettingsCard") {
-            var entry = new Entry{
-                ElementName = element.Attribute["Name"],
-                PageName = FileName,
-                Type = "SettingsCard",
-                ElementUid = element.Attribute["Uid"],
-                DisplayedText = "",
-            }
-
-            var parent = element.GetParent();
-            if(parent.Name == "SettingsExpander"){
-                entry.ParentElementName = parent.Attribute["Name"];
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-Runtime index loading:
-```
-var entries = LoadEntriesFromFile();
-foreach(var entry in entries){
-    entry.DisplayedText = ResourceLoader.GetString(entry.Uid);
-}
-```
-So now we have all the entries and entry properties.
