## Summary of the Pull Request This PR adds basic drag-and-drop support for items in list and grid views. It introduces two new properties on `ListItem`, backed by `IExtendedAttributesProvider`: `DataPackage` and `DataPackageView`. These properties are mutually exclusive. `DataPackage` serves as a convenience property allowing the item to retain the underlying object without risk of losing it. Across the extension boundary, only the immutable `DataPackageView` snapshot is transferred. When `DataPackage` is set, `DataPackageView` is derived from it. This PR includes initial concrete drag-and-drop implementations for: - File Indexer - Clipboard History **Todo / Missing pieces** - [x] Extend `DataPackage` support to top-level command items, enabling scenarios such as index fallback ~ - [x] Provide automatic drag-and-drop for unconfigured list items (e.g., copying title and subtitle as text) - [x] Keep CmdPal open - [ ] ~Clipboard commands (since we have the DataPackage...)~ - [ ] ~Improve logging~ ## Pictures?

Command Palette
Windows Command Palette ("CmdPal") is the next iteration of PowerToys Run. With extensibility at its core, the Command Palette is your one-stop launcher to start anything.
By default, CmdPal is bound to Win+Alt+Space.
Creating an extension
The fastest way to get started is just to run the "Create extension" command in the palette itself. That'll prompt you for a project name and a Display Name, and where you want to place your project. Then just open the sln it produces. You should be ready to go 🙂.
The official API documentation can be found on this docs site.
We've also got samples, so that you can see how the APIs in-action.
- We've got generic samples in the repo
- We've got real samples in the repo too
- And we've even got real extensions that we've "shipped" already
[!info] The Command Palette is currently in preview. Many features of the API are not yet fully implemented. We may introduce breaking API changes before CmdPal itself is v1.0.0
Building CmdPal
Install & Build PowerToys
- Follow the install and build instructions for PowerToys
Load & Build
- In Visual Studio, in the Solution Explorer Pane, confirm that all of the files/projects in
src\modules\CommandPaletteandsrc\common\CalculatorEngineCommondo not have(unloaded)on the right side- If any file has
(unloaded), right click on file and selectReload Project
- If any file has

Projects of interest are:
Microsoft.CmdPal.UI: This is the main project for CmdPal. Build and run this to get the CmdPal.Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions: This is the official extension interface.- This is designed to be language-agnostic. Any programming language which supports implementing WinRT interfaces should be able to implement the WinRT interface.
Microsoft.CommandPalette.Extensions.Toolkit: This is a C# helper library for creating extensions. This makes writing extensions easier.- Everything under "SampleExtensions": These are example plugins to demo how to author extensions. Deploy any number of these, to get a feel for how the extension API works.
