-Please comment on an issue to let us know you're interested in working on something before you start the work. Not only does this avoid multiple people unexpectedly working on the same thing at the same time but it enables us to make sure everyone is clear on what should be done to implement any new functionality. It's less work for everyone, in the long run, to establish this up front.

-## C++ XAML Islands
-The KBM UI is implemented as a C++ XAML Island, but all the controls are implemented in code behind rather than .xaml and .xaml.cs files. This was done as per a XAML Island Code sample and it didn't require a separate UWP project, which could be limited in terms of using hooks. There is a [tech debt item](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/2027) for moving this to XAML. The reason it wasn't implemented in the C# Settings was because it required communication with the low level hook thread, which could be too slow if IPC is used, since the UI needs to update on every key event.
+## 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.
 
-**Note:** For functions which take a XAML component as argument, pass it by value and not by reference. This is because `winrt` WinUI classes store their own internal references, so they are supposed to be passed by value (and internally ref counts are incremented). Passing by reference can lead to weird behavior where the object is `null`.
+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 windows are [created as C++ windows](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L128-L140) and the window sizes are set to default by [scaling them as per DPI](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L120-L126) using the `DPIAware::Convert` API from common lib. Since the UI is launched on a new thread, the window may not be in the foreground, so [we call `SetForegroundWindow`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L146-L150).
+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).
 
-`DesktopWindowXamlSource` has to be declared and [it is initialized](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L159-L162) using the [`XamlBridge`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/XamlBridge.cpp), and [a second window handle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L161-L162) is generated for the internal Xaml Island window. Most of the code was based on the [Xaml Island Sample](https://github.com/microsoft/Xaml-Islands-Samples/blob/master/Samples/Win32/SampleCppApp/XamlBridge.cpp). The `XamlBridge` class contains code which handles initializing the Xaml Island containers as well as handling special messages like keyboard navigation, and focus between islands and between the C++ window and the island. It also has methods for clearing the xaml islands and closing the window.
-
-Once the UI controls are created, the parent container is set as the content for the `DesktopWindowXamlSource` and the `XamlBridge.MessageLoop` is executed. Messages are processed by the C++ window handler like [`EditKeyboardWindowProc`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L364-L404). The general structure we use for this is, for any `WM_PAINT` or `WM_SIZE` message we resize the Xaml Island window. For `WM_GETMINMAXINFO` we set minimum widths so that the window cannot be resized beyond a minimum height and width. This is done to prevent the WinUI elements from overlapping and getting cropped. If it is neither of these cases we send the message to the [`XamlBridge.MessageHandler`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/XamlBridge.cpp#L291-L301) which handles Destroy, Activation and Focus. If `WM_NCDESTROY` is received when the `XamlBridge` is `nullptr`, the window thread is terminated.
-
-**Note:** `ContentDialog` in Xaml Islands requires manually settings a `XamlRoot`. This can generally be done by passing the XamlRoot from a component in the main window, such as the button used to open the dialog ([`sender.as<Button>().XamlRoot()`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.cpp#L31-L32)). [These docs]((https://learn.microsoft.com/uwp/api/windows.ui.xaml.controls.contentdialog#contentdialog-in-appwindow-or-xaml-islands)) have more details about this.
-
-### Debugging exceptions in XAML Islands
-Sometimes if an exception occurs in XAML Islands, the stack trace may not always point to the correct code causing the exception and instead it will point to the Xaml Island message loop. In these cases the output window in VS will generally show the correct exception.
-
-### Build times
-C++ Xaml Islands generally take several minutes to build because the `pch` which contains the WinUI headers takes longer to build and compiles to a file of several GBs. To minimize the build times, multi-processor compilation within the projects have been enabled (files are distributed for compilation to the processors), and references to the Xaml headers have been removed from the .h headers files as much as possible. Since several classes of ours had class members with UI controls like `StackPanel` (which requires definitions of the classes in order to compile), we worked around this by declaring them as `IInspectable` (the equivalent of an object pointer in winrt), and initializing them to the actual control like `StackPanel` in the constructor and accessing all their member functions by inline typecasting (for `IInspectable x;` we do `x = StackPanel();` and `x.as<StackPanel>().MemberFunction()`). Check [this](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.cpp#L19-L25) for this type of usage in `ShortcutControl`.
-
-### Setting custom backgrounds for Xaml Controls using brushes
-To access the brushes available on C# Xaml, it has to be done with the `Resources.Lookup` syntax:
-`primaryButton.Background(Windows::UI::Xaml::Application::Current().Resources().Lookup(box_value(L"SystemControlBackgroundBaseMediumLowBrush")).as<Windows::UI::Xaml::Media::SolidColorBrush>());`

 ## UI Structure
 The KBM UI consists of a [`Grid` with several columns](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L200-L218). Rows are added dynamically when [the add button is pressed](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L305-L309). [A vector of vector of unique pointers to `SingleKeyRemapControl`/`ShortcutControl`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/EditKeyboardWindow.cpp#L248-L249) is created so that references to the UI components and their data are not lost until the window is closed. [`SingleKeyRemapControl`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/SingleKeyRemapControl.cpp) is the UI class for each row of the Remap keys table, and [`ShortcutControl`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.cpp) is the UI class for each row of the Remap shortcuts table. [`KeyDropDownControl`](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/main/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/KeyDropDownControl.cpp) is used for handling the ComboBox operations. Each of these two classes [have vectors of unique pointers to the `KeyDropDownControl` objects](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/blob/b80578b1b9a4b24c9945bddac33c771204280107/src/modules/keyboardmanager/ui/ShortcutControl.h#L44-L45) so that references to the objects are active until the control is deleted.

-# Group Policy Objects
+# Group Policies
 
-Since version 0.64, PowerToys is released on GitHub with GroupPolicyObject files. You can check these releases on https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases .
+Since version 0.64, PowerToys is released on GitHub with [Administrative Templates that allows you to configure PowerToys using Group Policies](/previous-versions/windows/desktop/policy/group-policy-objects). You can get the group policy files in each release of PowerToys over at <https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases>.
 
-## How to install
-
-### Add the administrative template to an individual computer
-
-1. Copy the "PowerToys.admx" file to your Policy Definition template folder. (Example: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions)
-2. Copy the "PowerToys.adml" file to the matching language folder in your Policy Definition folder. (Example: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US)
-
-### Add the administrative template to Active Directory
-
-1. On a domain controller or workstation with RSAT, go to the **PolicyDefinition** folder (also known as the *Central Store*) on any domain controller for your domain. For older versions of Windows Server, you might need to create the **PolicyDefinition** folder. For more information, see [How to create and manage the Central Store for Group Policy Administrative Templates in Windows](https://support.microsoft.com/help/3087759/how-to-create-and-manage-the-central-store-for-group-policy-administra).
-2. Copy the "PowerToys.admx" file to the PolicyDefinition folder. (Example: %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions)
-3. Copy the "PowerToys.adml" file to the matching language folder in the PolicyDefinition folder. Create the folder if it doesn't already exist. (Example: %systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions\EN-US)
-4. If your domain has more than one domain controller, the new ADMX files will be replicated to them at the next domain replication interval.
-
-### Scope
-
-You will find the policies under "Administrative Templates/Microsoft PowerToys" in both the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. If both settings are configured, the setting in Computer Configuration takes precedence over the setting in User Configuration.
-
-## Policies
-
-### Configure enabled state
-
-For each utility shipped with PowerToys, there's a "Configure enabled state" policy, which forces and Enabled state for the utility.
-
-If you enable this setting, the utility will be always enabled and the user won't be able to disable it.
-
-If you disable this setting, the utility will be always disabled and the user won't be able to enable it.
-
-If you don't configure this setting, users are able to disable or enable the utility.
-
-### Allow experimentation
-
-This policy configures whether PowerToys experimentation is allowed. With experimentation allowed the user sees the new features being experimented if it gets selected as part of the test group. (Experimentation will only happen on Windows Insider builds.)
-
-If this setting is not configured or enabled, the user can control experimentation in the PowerToys settings menu.
-
-If this setting is disabled, experimentation is not allowed.
-
-If this setting is not configured, experimentation is allowed.
-
-### Installer and Updates
-
-#### Disable per-user installation
-
-This policy configures whether PowerToys per-user installation is allowed or not.
-
-If enabled, per-user installation is not allowed.
-
-If disabled or not configured, per-user installation is allowed.
-
-You can set this policy only as Computer policy.
-#### Disable automatic downloads
-
-This policy configures whether automatic downloads of available updates are disabled or not. (On metered connections updates are never downloaded.)
-
-If enabled, automatic downloads are disabled.
-
-If disabled or not configured, the user is in control of automatic downloads setting.
-
-#### Suspend Action Center notification for new updates
-
-This policy configures whether the action center notification for new updates is suspended for 2 minor releases. (Example: if the installed version is v0.60.0, then the next notification is shown for the v0.63.* release.)
-
-If enabled, the notification is suspended.
-
-If disabled or not configured, the notification is shown.
-
-Note: The notification about new major versions is always displayed.
-
-<!-- This policy is implemented for later usage (PT v1.0 and later) and therefore inactive. (To make it working please update `src/runner/UpdateUtils.cpp`)
-#### Disable automatic update checks
-
-This policy allows you to disable automatic update checks running in the background. (The manual check in PT Settings is not affected by this policy.)
-
-If enabled, the automatic update checks are disabled.
-
-If disabled or not configured, the automatic update checks are enabled.
