* Added the auto-complete feature

* Removing ContextMenuPluginInfo, and ContextMenuTopMost as these commands are not used int the new design.

* Fixed merge conflicts

* Set only when index is 0

* One way binding

* Removed unnecessary binding

* Deleting unused (commented out code) that was legacy from wox project.

* Binding Buttons to appropriate context menu commands.
1. Buttons are dynamically loaded in a listview based on the actions supported be each plugin.

This change also deletes unused commands.

Note:  Most button events don't seem to be getting routed to the Selected Item.  Currently using 'PointerEntered' to validate the behavior.  The actions should be trigged by the button command property in the future.

* manually handling tab in mainwindow

* Loading context buttons on Selecting a suggestion list item

1. Add new object ContextMenuResult instead instead of reusing Result for both query results and context menu results.
2. Binding KeyboardAccelerator keys to contextmenuitemviewmodel
3. Enabling and disabling contextmenu items when selecting or deselecting each row.  Because we are manually maintaining selectionwe can't use ScopeOwners as the textbox is really the only item ever in focus.

* Fixes race conditions with PointerEnter/Exit events conflicting with Selection and unselection.   This change provides better encapsulation of the logic to enable a selected item for accelerator (hotkey) events, and allow mouse input on results where the pointer is over.

* Fixes an issue where PointerExit would hide the selected context buttons.

* Result List - Bad rebase overwrote margin and translation fields.

* Fixed process executing on clicking enter if no text in search box

* - Fixes cursor jumping around issue.
- Seperating the ability to set the text from initiating a query.
- Plugins have to explicitly request the query be updated.
- Updating Folder plugin to explicty update the query on folder selection.
- Removing unused changes from 'Wox' that don't compile.

* Fixing gap in logic where query was triggering when programatically setting text.

Updating the binding and settext both will trigger the TextChanged event on a seperate event dispatcher.  For this reason we dynamically detect which eventhandler is most approapriate on the textchanging event.

* Updating the QueryText to the selected item when navigating up/down with the  arrow keys.

* Removing action on folder result, and displaying folder path on selecting a folder result from the folder plugin.

* Making folder results from the search indexer plugin behave like folder results from folder plugin.

* Initializing query text strings.

* Defensive check for QueryText being empty

* Adding file watchers for UWP detecting when apps are installed or deleted and reindexing the uwp apps

* Removing unused namespace.

* Looking at files and not filtering is better because the timer is more likely to reset while an install is happening, preventing uneeded indexing

* Fix project references

* Fix MaxResultsToShow

* Fix Alt + Space display

* Fix settings defaults

Overview

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, 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.

Build Status

Build Status

Installing and running Microsoft PowerToys 0.16

👉 Note: Microsoft PowerToys requires Windows 10 1803 (build 17134) or later.

Install from the Microsoft PowerToys GitHub releases page. Click on Assets to show the files available in the release and then click on PowerToysSetup-0.16.1-x64.msi to download the PowerToys installer.

This is our preferred method.

Other install methods

MSIX / Store Build Update
  • We put in a lot of effort here but currently our plan of record is to make the MSI our only installer option and built-in auto-upgrade. MSIX is a great installer / container tech but there are few spots we are working with the team to improve so we can adopt.

Via Chocolatey - ⚠ Unofficial ⚠

Download and upgrade PowerToys from Chocolatey. If you have any issues when installing/upgrading the package please go to the package page and follow the Chocolatey triage process

To install PowerToys, run the following command from the command line / PowerShell:

choco install powertoys

To upgrade PowerToys, run the following command from the command line / PowerShell:

choco upgrade powertoys

Processor support

We currently support the matrix below.

x64 x86 ARM
Supported Issue #602 Issue #490

Current PowerToy Utilities

FancyZones

FancyZones - FancyZones is a window manager that makes it easy to create complex window layouts and quickly position windows into those layouts.

Shortcut Guide

Windows key shortcut guide - The shortcut guide appears when a user holds the Windows key down for more than one second and shows the available shortcuts for the current state of the desktop.

PowerRename

PowerRename - 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.

File Explorer (Preview Panes)

File Explorer add-ons right now are just limited to Preview Pane additions for File Explorer. Preview Pane is an existing feature in the File Explorer. To enable it, you just click the View tab in the ribbon and then click "Preview Pane".

PowerToys will now enable two types of files to be previewed:

  • Markdown files (.md)
  • SVG (.svg)

Image Resizer

Image Resizer is a Windows Shell Extension for quickly resizing images. With a simple right click from File Explorer, resize one or many images instantly.

This code is based on Brice Lambson's Image Resizer.

Window Walker (Text based alt-tab alternative)

Window Walker is an app that lets you search and switch between windows that you have open, all from the comfort of your keyboard. As you are searching for an app, you can use the keyboard up and down arrows to see an Alt-Tab style preview of the windows. In the future, this will be merged into the Launcher project.

This code is based on Beta Tadele's Window Walker.

Version 1.0 plan

Our plan for all the goals and utilities for v1.0 detailed over here in the wiki.

What's Happening

March 2020 Update

Our mantra for the 0.16 was adding in new features along with a continual push for quality and stability. We are working toward getting a way to auto-update PowerToys and have a good plan for this. We want to proactively thank the community for quickly identifying a few bugs inside 0.15 and allowing us to quickly release 0.15.1 and 0.15.2.

Below are just a few of the bullet items from this release.

  • We shipped v0.16!
  • FancyZone improvement:
    • Multi-Monitor improvement: Zone flipping switching now works between monitors!
    • Simplified UX: Removed layout hot-swap and flashing feature due to need to improve multi-monitor support
  • New Utilities!
    • Markdown Preview pane extension
    • SVG Preview pane extension
    • Image Resizer Window Shell extension
    • Window Walker, an alt-tab alternative
  • Fixed over 100 issues!
  • Testing improvements
    • 54 UX Functional tests
    • 161 new Unit tests

For 0.17, we are proactively working on:

  • Auto-updating
  • Win+R replacement (Launcher)
  • Keyboard remapping
  • Performance improvements with FancyZones
  • A testing utility for FancyZones to be sure we can test different window configurations.

Future release work, we are proactively working on:

  • Settings v2 / Fix bug #243
