## Summary of the Pull Request

> [Target feature branch ``feature/KeyboardManagerWinUI3``]

Refactor the New Keyboard Manager code to generalize functions (like
Keyboard Hook) for use across pages. Implement Code-behind and the Text
Remapping Page.

- Implement the Text Remapping page
- Restructure the Key Remappings code
- Implement unified Keyboard Hook for all Pages
- Implement Save and Delete for Text Page
- Adjust the Text Page list UI
- Create Input Control for Text Page
- Validate the user input in Text Page and show teaching tip for the
validation error
- Move Remapping Saving into Helper
- Move Remapping Delete into Helper
- Don't check for duplicates if the original keys are the same as the
remapping being edited
- Use InputMode to indicate the active toggle for Original Keys/Remapped
Keys
- Add Rectangle for all pages

- - Fixed a leak in the CmdPal extension template by addressing improper ComServer use.
- - Prevented CmdPal window from maximizing on title bar double-click to maintain intended window behavior. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!

- - Fixed white flash and one-time animation issues in CmdPal by cloaking the window instead of hiding it.
- - Fixed a bug where all extension settings were fetched on startup by lazy-loading extension settings, reducing initialization overhead.
- - Added support for protecting CmdPal from crashes on Adaptive Card parse failure.
- - Replaced shell:AppsFolder with URI activation in CmdPal to improve reliability.
- - Added ability to open CmdPal settings from PowerToys Settings.

- - Fix two crashes: one for WFT on very early dates and another for calculating the week of the month on very late dates (e.g., 31.12.9999), and reorder UI settings. Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek)!
- - Fix an issue where capitalization in the command causes failure when trying to go to the mouse pointer, resolved by adjusting the command to lowercase.
- - Added version details to plugin error messages for 'Loading error' and 'Init error'. Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek)!
- - Enhanced result model by adding support for preventing usage-based ordering, giving plugin developers greater control over sorting behavior. Thanks [@CoreyHayward](https://github.com/CoreyHayward) and [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek)!
-
-### Quick Accent
-
- - Updated the letter mapping in GetDefaultLetterKeyEPO, replacing "ǔ" with "ŭ" for the VK_U key to accurately reflect Esperanto phonetics. Thanks [@OlegKharchevkin](https://github.com/OlegKharchevkin)!

-
- - Enhanced Registry Preview to support pasting registry keys and values without manually writing the file header, and added a new button for resetting the app. Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek)!
+ - Fixed an issue where duplicated applications were shown by ensuring the shell link helper opens .ink files non-exclusively and correctly retrieves the "FullPath". Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek) and [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti) for review!
+ - Fixed an issue where applying round corners on Windows 11 build 22000 caused crashes.
+ - Async the OnRename method to unblock the thread. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti) for review!
+ - Added support for using `sq` instead of `^2` in the Unit Converter. Thanks [@PesBandi](https://github.com/PesBandi)!
 
 ### Settings

- - Added the ability to maximize the "What's New" window for a more comfortable reading experience.
+ - Disabled the spell check feature in the text boxes of plugin settings for PowerToys Run. Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek)!

 ### Workspaces
 
- - Fixed bugs where Steam games were not captured or launched correctly by updating window filtering and integrating Steam URL protocol handling.
+ - Fixed an issue where some minimized packaged apps (e.g., Microsoft ToDo, Settings) were not snapshotted.
 
 ### Documentation
 
- - Added QuickNotes to the third-party plugins documentation for PowerToys Run. Thanks [@ruslanlap](https://github.com/ruslanlap)!
- - Added Weather and Pomodoro plugins to the PowerToys Run third-party plugin documentation. Thanks [@ruslanlap](https://github.com/ruslanlap)!

+ - Added the SVGL third-party plugin to PowerToys Run, enabling users to search, browse, and copy SVG logos. Thanks [@SameerJS6](https://github.com/SameerJS6)!
+ - Added Monaco usage for the Registry Preview.
 
 ### Development
 
- - Updated GitHub Action to install .NET 9 for MSStore release support.
- - Updated version placeholder in bug_report.yml to prevent incorrect v0.70.0 versioning in issue reports.
- - Updated GitHub Action to upgrade actions/setup-dotnet from version 3 to version 4 for MSStore release.
- - Added securityContext to WinGet configuration files, allowing invocation from user context and prompting a single UAC for elevated resources in a separate process. Thanks [@mdanish-kh](https://github.com/mdanish-kh)!
- - Changed log file extensions from .txt to .log to support proper file associations and tooling compatibility, and added logs for Workspace. Thanks [@benwa](https://github.com/benwa)!
- - Upgraded testing framework dependencies and aligned package versions across components.
- - Upgraded dependencies to fix vulnerabilities.
- - Enhanced repository security by pinning GitHub Actions and Docker tags to immutable full-length commits and integrating automated dependency vulnerability scanning via Dependency Review Workflow. Thanks [@Nick2bad4u](https://github.com/Nick2bad4u)!
- - Upgraded Boost dependencies to a newer version.
- - Upgraded toolkit to the latest version, suppressed AoT-related warnings.
- - Fixed an issue where missing signing for newly added files caused build failures.
- - Update release pipeline to prevent publishing private symbols for 100 years.
- - Introduced fuzzing for PowerRename to improve reliability and added setup guidance for extending fuzzing to other C++ modules.
- - Added centralized pre-creation of generated folders for all .csproj projects to prevent build failures.
- - Updated WinAppSDK to the latest 1.7 version.
- - Upgraded Boost dependencies to the latest version for the PowerRename Fuzzing project.
- - Updated the ADO area path in tsa.json to resolve TSA pipeline errors caused by a deprecated path.
- - Initiated AoT support for CmdPal with foundational work in progress.
-  
-### Tool/General
+ - Updated WinGet configuration file location and extension. Thanks [@mdanish-kh](https://github.com/mdanish-kh)!
+ - Removed the Markdown file bypass to ensure CI runs for commits that only update Markdown files.
+ - Fixed an issue where the default generated file path exceeded the length limit of 260 characters for EnvironmentVariablesUILib.csproj, causing build failures.
+ - Upgraded WindowsAppSDK to 1.6.250205002 and CsWinRT to 2.2.0. Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek) for review!
+ - Upgraded XamlStyler to 3.2501.8 and dotnet-consolidate to 4.2.0. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!
+ - Updated .NET Packages from 9.0.2 to 9.0.3.
+ - Optimized the UI Test Automation Framework and added UI test cases for the Hosts File Editor module.
+ - Added fuzz testing for RegistryPreview.
+ - Added new UI tests for the FancyZones editor, including tests for creating, duplicating, editing, and deleting layouts.
+ - Added telemetry code to measure the module editor open time and evaluate the benefits of applying AOT.
 
- - Added support for automating bug report creation by generating a pre-filled GitHub issue URL with system and diagnostic information. Thanks [@donlaci](https://github.com/donlaci)!
- - Added scripts to locally build the installer, ensuring the CmdPal can also be launched in a local environment.
- - Removed export PFX logic to eliminate hardcoded password usage and resolve PSScriptAnalyzer security warning.

-========================================================================
-    C++/WinRT CmdPalCalculator Project Overview
-========================================================================
-
-This project demonstrates how to get started authoring Windows Runtime 
-classes directly with standard C++, using the C++/WinRT SDK component 
-to generate implementation headers from interface (IDL) files.  The
-generated Windows Runtime component binary and WinMD files should then
-be bundled with the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app consuming them.
-
-Steps:
-1. Create an interface (IDL) file to define your Windows Runtime class, 
-    its default interface, and any other interfaces it implements.
-2. Build the project once to generate module.g.cpp, module.h.cpp, and
-    implementation templates under the "Generated Files" folder, as 
-    well as skeleton class definitions under "Generated Files\sources".  
-3. Use the skeleton class definitions for reference to implement your
-    Windows Runtime classes.
-
