+# https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Feature%3A-Restricted-Permissions
+#
+# `jobs.comment-push` runs when a push is made to a repository and the `jobs.spelling` job needs to make a comment
+#   (in odd cases, it might actually run just to collapse a comment, but that's fairly rare)
+#   it needs `contents: write` in order to add a comment.
+#
+# `jobs.comment-pr` runs when a pull_request is made to a repository and the `jobs.spelling` job needs to make a comment
+#   or collapse a comment (in the case where it had previously made a comment and now no longer needs to show a comment)
+#   it needs `pull-requests: write` in order to manipulate those comments.
+
+# Updating pull request branches is managed via comment handling.
+# For details, see: https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Feature:-Update-expect-list
+#
+# These elements work together to make it happen:
+#
+# `on.issue_comment`
+#   This event listens to comments by users asking to update the metadata.
+#
+# `jobs.update`
+#   This job runs in response to an issue_comment and will push a new commit
+#   to update the spelling metadata.
+#
+# `with.experimental_apply_changes_via_bot`
+#   Tells the action to support and generate messages that enable it
+#   to make a commit to update the spelling metadata.
+#
+# `with.ssh_key`
+#   In order to trigger workflows when the commit is made, you can provide a
+#   secret (typically, a write-enabled github deploy key).
+#
+#   For background, see: https://github.com/check-spelling/check-spelling/wiki/Feature:-Update-with-deploy-key

+# Access to Sarif reports is generally restricted (by GitHub) to members of the repository.

+# 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 [our "Would you like to contribute to PowerToys?" thread](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/28769) 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.
+
+### Localization issues
+
+Please file localization issues, so our internal localization team can identify and fix them. However we currently don't accept community Pull Requests fixing localization issues. Localization is handled by the internal Microsoft team only.
+
+### 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 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/).

-### Keyboard Manager
-
-[<img align="left" src="./doc/images/overview/KBM_small.png" />](https://aka.ms/PowerToysOverview_KeyboardManager) [Keyboard Manager](https://aka.ms/PowerToysOverview_KeyboardManager) allows you to customize the keyboard to be more productive by remapping keys and creating your own keyboard shortcuts.

-### PowerRename
-
-[<img align="left" src="./doc/images/overview/PowerRename_small.PNG" />](https://aka.ms/PowerToysOverview_PowerRename) [PowerRename](https://aka.ms/PowerToysOverview_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).

-# 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.
-

+# PowerToys disk usage footprint overview
+
+As of the v0.66 of PowerToys, core runtime dlls are being shipped self-contained as a part of PowerToys. During the installation process, hard-links are being created for every module that needs any of these shared libraries.
+
+## Why do this work?
+
+Our main motivations for doing are the following:
+
+1. Be able to install PowerToys without UAC elevation
+2. PowerToys has a reduced disk space when components are shared.
+3. Reduce additional downloads for dependencies
+
+## Current self-contained runtimes 
+
+These dll's are installed in `<PowerToysInstallDir>/dll/<Item>` folder structure.
+
+- [Windows Application SDK runtime](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/downloads)
+- [.NET Desktop Runtime 7](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/7.0)
+- [Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime](https://learn.microsoft.com/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)
+
+## So why does PowerToys have a larger footprint now?
+
+Before the hard-link work was done, each of these runtimes had to be installed, so there were more items being installed outside just the PowerToys install directory. This space would not have been accounted.
+
+File Explorer treats hard-links the same as "original"/regular files/directories (https://learn.microsoft.com/troubleshoot/windows-server/backup-and-storage/disk-space-problems-on-ntfs-volumes#other-ntfs-features-that-may-cause-file-allocation-confusion), not as links. This results in File Explorer reporting size of PowerToys installation directory bigger than it is (more than 2GB). 
+
+## How much space is actually being used
+
+As of v0.66 of PowerToys, the installed footprint is ~660MB. 
+
+When we were prototyping and validating, here was our running table of results and why we took the route we did.
+
+| Moment | Installer size | App size | Installation dir size | Real size | Deps downloaded and installed during PT install | Total (installer size + real size + deps downloaded and installed during PT install) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| v0.62.0.1<br/>no deps self-contained | 125  MB | 817  MB | 529  MB | 534  MB | 418  MB | 1,077  MB |
+| v0.63.0<br/>WAS and VCRedist | 83  MB | 587  MB | 567  MB | 396  MB | 394  MB | 873  MB |
+| v0.63.0<br/>WAS1.2preview and VCRedist| 80  MB | 574  MB | 539  MB | 385  MB | 394  MB | 859  MB |
+| Full Test<br/>WAS, VCRedist, .NET | 149  MB | 705  MB | 1,760  MB | 557  MB | 0 MB | 706  MB |
+
+## Our process to verify current install footprint
+
+We created a quick virtual machine.  We chose to use our fresh Windows 10 test virtual machines here.
+
+### Empty disk details
+
+<img src="../images/disk-usage/empty_disk_details.png">
+
+### Install PowerToys to empty disk
+
+<img src="../images/disk-usage/PowerToys_install_dir.png">
+
+### PowerToys installation directory size shown by File Explorer
+
+As mentioned above, File Explorer shows size of PowerToys installation dir as every hard-link is a regular file for itself
+
+<img src="../images/disk-usage/install_dir_size_v0.66.png">
+
+### PowerToys size shown by App->Installed apps
+
+<img src="../images/disk-usage/add_remove_size_v0.66.png">
+
+### Disk usage with PowerToys installed
+
+Real disk usage of PowerToys is shown by inspecting disk usage after installing PowerToys. Used space is now 695MB, comparing to ~35MB used space for empty disk gives us the size of ~660MB for PowerToys installation dir.
+
+<img src="../images/disk-usage/used_disk_space_v0.66.png">
+
+### PowerShell command calculating size of non-hardlinks files
+
+Size of regular files (non-hard-links) and hard-links can also be obtained by running following PowerShell command in PowerToys installation dir:
+
+```
+Regular files:
+ls -Recurse -File -force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | ? LinkType -ne HardLink | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum
+
+Hard-links
+ls -Recurse -File -force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | ? LinkType -e HardLink | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum
+```
+
+Running these commands for PowerToys v0.66 shows that size of regular files is way less than size of hard-links pointing to some of those regular files because PowerShell (same as File Explorer) also takes the size of hard-links as of regular files.

+## Localization on the pipeline (CDPX)
+[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://learn.microsoft.com/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://learn.microsoft.com/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://learn.microsoft.com/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.

+# Logging
+
+Logging plays an important part in determining bugs in our code. It provides context for the developers about where and when errors occur.
+
+## Where are the logs saved
+
+* Most of the logs are saved under `%LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/PowerToys`.
+* For low-privilege processes (like preview handlers) the logs are saved under `%USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Microsoft/PowerToys`.
+
+Logs are normally in a subfolder with the module name as title.
+
+The [BugReportTool](/tools/BugReportTool) will take logs from both locations when executed.
+
+## Using a logger in a project
+
+### Spdlog
+
+In C++ projects we use the awesome [spdlog](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog) library for logging as a git submodule under the `deps` directory. To use it in your project, just include [spdlog.props](/deps/spdlog.props) in a .vcxproj like this:
+
+```xml
+<Import Project="..\..\..\deps\spdlog.props" />
+```
+It'll add the required include dirs and link the library binary itself.
+
+### PowerToys Logger in ManagedCommon
+
+For C# projects there is a static logger class in Managed Common called `Logger`.
+
+To use it, add a project reference to `ManagedCommon` and add the following line of code to all the files using the logger:
+
+```Csharp
+using ManagedCommon;
+```
+
+In the `Main` function (or a function with a similar meaning (like `App` in a `App.xaml.cs` file)) you have to call `InitializeLogger` and specify the location where the logs will be saved (always use a path scheme similar to this example):
+
+```Csharp
+Logger.InitializeLogger("\\FancyZones\\Editor\\Logs");
+```
+
+For a low-privilege process you have to set the optional second parameter to `true`:
+
+```Csharp
+Logger.InitializeLogger("\\FileExplorer\\Monaco\\Logs", true);
+```
+
+The `Logger` class contains the following logging functions:
+
+```Csharp
+// Logs an error that the utility encountered
+Logger.LogError(string message);
+Logger.LogError(string message, Exception ex);
+// Logs an error that isn't that grave
+Logger.LogWarning(string message);
+// Logs what the app is doing at the moment
+Logger.LogInfo(string message);
+// Like LogInfo just with infos important for debugging
+Logger.LogDebug(string message);
+// Logs the current state of the utility.
+Logger.LogTrace();
+```

+## 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://learn.microsoft.com/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-sendinput) and [`GetAsyncKeyState`](https://learn.microsoft.com/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://learn.microsoft.com/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://learn.microsoft.com/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://learn.microsoft.com/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 at least 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://learn.microsoft.com/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://learn.microsoft.com/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 into 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. 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#L221)).
+- **`KeyboardManager_Error`:** Logs the occurrence of an error in KBM with the name of the method, error code and the corresponding error message. This is currently used only for logging `SetWindowsHookEx` failures (emitted [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/dll/dllmain.cpp#L364-L369)).

+## 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 reentrant 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.

+## XAML Implementation
+The KBM UI was originally implemented as a XAML Island, but in order to easily support Mica, which is [still an issue](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/5319), the [`XamlBridge`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b3f27057d43445abc59aa04405f7c24bb895a61c/src/modules/keyboardmanager/KeyboardManagerEditorLibrary/XamlBridge2.cpp) was rewritten to use a [`FrameworkView`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b3f27057d43445abc59aa04405f7c24bb895a61c/src/modules/keyboardmanager/KeyboardManagerEditorLibrary/XamlBridge2.cpp#L47C11-L49) object which is how a traditional UWP app behaves:
+1. A `CoreWindow` is created by [calling a function inside of `Windows.UI.dll` with an ordinal number of `1500`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b3f27057d43445abc59aa04405f7c24bb895a61c/src/modules/keyboardmanager/KeyboardManagerEditorLibrary/XamlBridge2.cpp#L35-L42).
+2. A [stubbed implementation of `CoreApplicationView`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b3f27057d43445abc59aa04405f7c24bb895a61c/src/modules/keyboardmanager/KeyboardManagerEditorLibrary/XamlBridge2.cpp#L10-L18) was created.
+3. Then [both objects are passed on to the `FrameworkView`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b3f27057d43445abc59aa04405f7c24bb895a61c/src/modules/keyboardmanager/KeyboardManagerEditorLibrary/XamlBridge2.cpp#L47-L49) to initialize the XAML framework.
+4. Lastly, the `CoreWindow` is [attached to the editor window](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b3f27057d43445abc59aa04405f7c24bb895a61c/src/modules/keyboardmanager/KeyboardManagerEditorLibrary/XamlBridge2.cpp#L54-L61) and its `HWND` is used in-place of `DesktopWindowXamlSource`'s.
+
+Mica is then achieved by calling [`BackdropMaterial::SetApplyToRootOrPageBackground()`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b3f27057d43445abc59aa04405f7c24bb895a61c/src/modules/keyboardmanager/KeyboardManagerEditorLibrary/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L388-L400) in both of the editor windows, or falls back to the `ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush` background if Mica isn't available.
+
+The UI was also updated to use WinUI 2.8 to match the look and feel of the Fluent design language of Windows 11 and the rest of PowerToys. There has been talk about [migrating the implementation to XAML files instead of code-behind](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/2027) and [utilizing WinUI 3 going forward](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/15870). More about the update can be read in [here](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/pull/28473).
+
+[**Link to the original documentation**](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b3f27057d43445abc59aa04405f7c24bb895a61c/doc/devdocs/modules/keyboardmanager/keyboardmanagerui.md#c-xaml-islands)
+
+## 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`.
