Copilot · 2025-10-20T18:18:22Z

Summary

Restores the "Quick access" menu item that was accidentally removed from the PowerToys tray icon context menu.

Issue

Fixes #[issue_number]

The "Quick access" menu item was missing from the tray icon's right-click context menu, preventing users from accessing this feature via the tray menu.

Expected menu:

Actual menu (before this fix):

Changes

Added the missing MENUITEM "Quick access\tLeft-click", ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND entry as the first menu item in the ID_TRAY_MENU definition in src/runner/runner.base.rc

Details

The menu item was accidentally removed in commit f5797a0. This PR restores it to its correct position as the first item in the tray menu.

All supporting code was already in place:

The resource ID ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND (40006) is defined in resource.base.h
The resource string QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_TEXT is defined in Resources.resx
The menu command handler in tray_icon.cpp opens the Quick Access flyout window
The localization code updates the menu text at runtime

Testing

✅ Verified the menu item syntax is correct and matches existing patterns
✅ Confirmed all supporting resource IDs and handler code exist
✅ CI build verification pending

After this fix, the tray menu will correctly display:

Quick access (Left-click)
Settings (Double-click)
Documentation

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)
@niels9001 @davidegiacometti is this a regression from the PR where we updated the string names? @davidegiacometti Hi @niels9001 I just realized that the menu was missing in https://github.com//pull/40714 screenshots, but the regression was caused by https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/commit/f5797a065a5c2c448fd2b1780bd1353d712103c3. Unfortunately, many of the `.rc` files in the PT codebase have UTF16-LE encoding and GitHub doesn't show diff.

Fixes #42618

So, this was removed in 53b9898#diff-4095dc55de8a9eebff88733d026d1b9f0d054f7d8bf1688b7ef62c1a06f346d3

but yea looking through that PR, I don't think removing that menu item was intentional.

Limits the number of apps returned to a pre-defined maximum. 2. Sorts the apps list. 3. Appends filtered items, scored fallback items and the apps list together. 4. Sorts the three lists based on their score. 5. Appends the non-scored fallback items, with empty items excluded. 6. Selects just the `Item` from each. 7. Creates an array from the enumerable. ```csharp if (_filteredApps?.Count > 0) { limitedApps = _filteredApps.OrderByDescending(s => s.Score).Take(_appResultLimit).ToList(); } var items = Enumerable.Empty<Scored<IListItem>>() .Concat(_filteredItems is not null ? _filteredItems : []) .Concat(_scoredFallbackItems is not null ? _scoredFallbackItems : []) .Concat(limitedApps) .OrderByDescending(o => o.Score) // Add fallback items post-sort so they are always at the end of the list // and eventually ordered based on user preference .Concat(_fallbackItems is not null ? _fallbackItems.Where(w => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(w.Item.Title)) : []) .Select(s => s.Item) .ToArray(); ``` We can exploit the fact that each of the three 'scored' lists are pre-ordered, and replace the query with a 3-way merge and final append of the non-scored fallback items. By pre-sizing the results array we can avoid all the extra allocations of the LINQ-based solution. ### Proof of pre-ordering In `UpdateSearchText`, each of the lists is defined by calling `ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores`: ```csharp // Produce a list of everything that matches the current filter. _filteredItems = [.. ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newFilteredItems ?? [], SearchText, scoreItem)]; ``` ```csharp _scoredFallbackItems = ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newFallbacksForScoring ?? [], SearchText, scoreItem); ``` ```csharp var scoredApps = ListHelpers.FilterListWithScores<IListItem>(newApps, SearchText, scoreItem); ... _filteredApps = [.. scoredApps]; ``` In `FilterListWithScores`, the results are ordered by score: ```csharp var scores = items .Select(li => new Scored<T>() { Item = li, Score = scoreFunction(query, li) }) .Where(score => score.Score > 0) .OrderByDescending(score => score.Score); ``` (This also makes the existing `OrderByDescending()` for `_filteredApps` before the LINQ query redundant.) ### K-way merge Since the results are pre-sorted, we can do a direct merge in linear time. This is what the new `MainListPageResultFactory`'s `Create` achieves. As the lists may be different sizes, the routine does a 3-way merge, followed by a 2-way merge and a single list drain to finish. Each element is only visited once. ### Benchmarks A separate benchmark project is [here](https://github.com/daverayment/MainListBench), written with Benchmark.net. The project compares the current LINQ-based solution against: 1. An Array-based algorithm which pre-assigns a results array and still sorts the 3 scored sets of results. This shows a naive non-LINQ solution which is still _O(n log n)_ because of the sort. 2. The k-way merge, which is described above. _O(n)_ for both time and space complexity. 3. A heap merge algorithm, which uses a priority queue instead of tracking each of the lists separately. (This is _O(n log k)_ in terms of time complexity and _O(n + k)_ for space.) Care is taken to ensure stable sorting of items. When preparing the benchmark data, items with identical scores are assigned to confirm each algorithm performs identically to the LINQ `OrderBy` approach, which performs a stable sort. Results show that the merge performs best in terms of both runtime performance and allocations, sometimes by a significant margin. Compared to the LINQ approach, merge runs 400%+ faster and with at most ~20% of the allocations: <img width="1135" height="556" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9f9d3932-1592-49d6-8a07-4ea3ba7a0cc5" /> <img width="1149" height="553" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ae9e9e0a-b255-4c1a-af4b-e791dea80fa4" /> See here for all charts and raw stats from the run: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y2mmWe8dfpbLxF_eqPbEGvaItmqp6HLfSp-rw99hzWg/edit?usp=sharing ### Cons 1. Existing performance is not currently an issue. This could be seen as a premature optimisation. 2. The new code introduces an inherent contract between the results compilation routine and the lists, i.e. that they must be sorted. This PR was really for research and learning more about CmdPal (and a bit of algorithm practice because it's Advent of Code time), so please feel free to reject if you feel the cons outweigh the pros.  ## Validation Steps Performed - Added unit tests to exercise the new code, which confirm that the specific ordering is preserved, and the filtering and pre-trimming of the apps list is performed as before. - Existing non-UI unit tests run. NB: I _could not_ run any UI Tests on my system and just got an early bail-out each time. - Manual testing in (non-AOT) Release mode. commit b8a0163419f0800153e40a0e26ba77a4b453c74d Author: Sam Rueby <samrueby@gmail.com> Date: Mon Dec 8 13:13:33 2025 -0500 CmdPal: Arrow keys move logical grid pages (#43870)  ## Summary of the Pull Request  ## PR Checklist - [X] Closes: #41939  - [X] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

The main focus is on upgrading the Microsoft Windows App SDK packages to ensure the project uses the latest features and bug fixes. Dependency version updates: * Upgraded `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK`, `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Foundation`, `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.AI`, and `Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK.Runtime` to their latest respective versions, replacing previous 1.8.25* releases with newer builds.  commit d515c67def98da77f9335f997bac7520538c2103 Author: leileizhang <leilzh@microsoft.com> Date: Mon Dec 8 13:34:33 2025 +0800 Improve install scope detection to prevent mixed user/machine installations (#43931)  ## Summary of the Pull Request The old implementation checked `HKLM\Software\Classes\powertoys\InstallScope` first.

In scenarios where one dimension matches the target and the other overflows (e.g. shrinking a 100x100 pixel image to 50x100), the calculated scale factor is `1.0`. The previous `ShrinkOnly` logic included this: ```csharp if (_settings.ShrinkOnly && _settings.SelectedSize.Unit != ResizeUnit.Percent && (scaleX >= 1 || scaleY >= 1)) { return source; } ``` This correctly prevents `ShrinkOnly` operations from returning upscaled result images, but it also exits too early for cases where the user is cropping the image across one dimension only, leaving the other at scale 1. Effectively, the later cropping code is never run and instead of returning the cropped image, the original is returned. The _intended_ target dimensions are correct, which results in the filename parts not matching the resulting image size. **Fix:** The logic has been split between upscaling and cropping, so: 1. If the scale on either dimension is > `1.0`, return the source (explicitly preventing upscaling for **Shrink Only** mode). 2. If the scale is <= `1.0` then check if the original dimensions exceed the target dimensions. If a crop is required, proceed with it even if the scale is exactly `1.0`. ### Fix for square images triggering orientation swap **Issue:** The "Ignore Orientation" check in the original code used a compound boolean check: ```csharp (originalWidth < originalHeight != width < height) ``` This clever but less than readable statement detects orientation mismatches. The section also includes a logic issue. When the original image was square, `originalWidth < originalHeight` evaluated to `false`, treating it as Landscape. If the target dimensions were Portrait, the logic detected a mismatch and swapped the target dimensions incorrectly, which would crop the height instead of the width. 'Fortunately' this bug was masked by the first bug, as the crop code would never be reached anyway. **Fix:** The orientation detection routine was refactored to explicitly check for Landscape vs. Portrait states. Square images are now naturally excluded, as they have neither Landscape nor Portrait orientations. This now prevents the dimensions from being swapped. ### Refactoring/readability The main `Transform` method has been cleaned up: - Replaced widespread use of `var` with `double` and `int` for dimension and scale calculations. - Replaced the non-obvious XOR orientation check (`a < b != c < d`) with named booleans (`isInputLandscape`, `isTargetPortrait` etc.) to make the intent more self-documenting. - New and expanded comments throughout.  ## Validation Steps Performed Three new unit tests have been added to `ResizeOperationTests.cs` to cover the **Fill** mode edge cases: 1. `TransformHonorsFillWithShrinkOnlyWhenCropRequired`: Verifies than an image requiring a crop but no scaling is processed correctly (tests that the original bug report is resolved). 2. `TransformHonorsFillWithShrinkOnlyWhenUpscaleAttempted`: Confirms that when `ShrinkOnly` is set, any upscaling operations are still blocked. 3. `TransformHonorsFillWithShrinkOnlyWhenNoChangeRequired`: Verifies that the system returns the source if neither scaling nor cropping is required. I also manually verified the bug fix with a test 4000 x 6000 pixel source file with 1920 x `Auto` **Fill** mode and **Shrink Only** settings, mirroring the original user's settings, and their source and target dimensions. commit 2b0ecc2979b6bbe0c017045199ea10873caedd65 Author: Noraa Junker <noraa.junker@outlook.com> Date: Sun Dec 7 19:36:05 2025 +0100 Quick accent character set fixes (#43504)  ## Summary of the Pull Request * Fix double uppercase theta character * Fix some redundant special symbols  ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #43457 #43137 #41570 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

Some languages can use different keyboards, I think this would become problematic if the keyboard does not match the key used by default. However, using a universal key can also pose an issue to finding the key. that remains to be discussed  ## Validation Steps Performed commit 503bcbdf2d44d2002293bc35c23846e7d572c58c Author: Copilot <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri Dec 5 07:33:37 2025 +0100 Restore missing "Quick access" menu item in tray icon context menu (#42676) ## Summary Restores the "Quick access" menu item that was accidentally removed from the PowerToys tray icon context menu. ## Issue Fixes #[issue_number] The "Quick access" menu item was missing from the tray icon's right-click context menu, preventing users from accessing this feature via the tray menu. **Expected menu:** ![Expected menu](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/805b1436-5a08-42e7-a34d-b9848fd9a235) **Actual menu (before this fix):** ![Actual menu](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7584035d-e893-4f73-acc3-84d789e31e81) ## Changes - Added the missing `MENUITEM "Quick access\tLeft-click", ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND` entry as the first menu item in the `ID_TRAY_MENU` definition in `src/runner/runner.base.rc` ## Details The menu item was accidentally removed in commit f5797a065a5c2c448fd2b1780bd1353d712103c3. This PR restores it to its correct position as the first item in the tray menu. All supporting code was already in place: - The resource ID `ID_QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_COMMAND` (40006) is defined in `resource.base.h` - The resource string `QUICK_ACCESS_MENU_TEXT` is defined in `Resources.resx` - The menu command handler in `tray_icon.cpp` opens the Quick Access flyout window - The localization code updates the menu text at runtime ## Testing - ✅ Verified the menu item syntax is correct and matches existing patterns - ✅ Confirmed all supporting resource IDs and handler code exist - ✅ CI build verification pending After this fix, the tray menu will correctly display: 1. Quick access (Left-click) 2. Settings (Double-click) 3. Documentation 4. Report Bug 5.

The future plan is to redirect the user to the list of installed apps and search by display name, but that needs some supporting infrastructure first. - The command order for WinGet list entries was updated: **Install / Uninstall** is now the primary action, ensuring a stable UI since this command is always available.  ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #43671  - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.
