Mike GrieseThe <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a> Command Palette. Because you shouldn't need a web browser just to use your PC. And you definitely shouldn't need React Native just to build an app launcher. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cmdpal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cmdpal</a>

Mike Grieseoh my god, it's only been one week, and there are already extensions in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microsoft</a> Store for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CmdPal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CmdPal</a>, including this INCREDIBLE <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/everything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#everything</a> extension:<a href="https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N2DRHJ970D9?hl=en-us&gl=US&ocid=pdpshare" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N2DRHJ970D9?hl=en-us&gl=US&ocid=pdpshare</a>I can't wait to see what people build with this 😄😄😄

Mike GrieseThe incredible <a href="https://mastodon.social/@joadoumie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@joadoumie</a> put together this amazing overview of the new Command Palette, talking about hotkeys, aliases, extensions and more. This is a great place to start if you're curious what's possible.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_CPHpRHoic" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_CPHpRHoic</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PowerToys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PowerToys</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CmdPal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CmdPal</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows</a>

Mike GrieseIt's finally here. Start anything, with the Command Palette, now in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PowerToys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PowerToys</a> 0.90.<a href="https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.90.0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.90.0</a><a href="https://aka.ms/cmdpal" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://aka.ms/cmdpal</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cmdpal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cmdpal</a>

Mike GrieseI just wrote 25 pages of documentation on creating extensions for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cmdpal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cmdpal</a> for the upcoming <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PowerToys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PowerToys</a> release and lemme tell you: i do not like writing words. I feel way more exhausted after a day of that, than a day of writing code. On the other hand, this is probably the most valuable work that I've done, because it's going to help a lot of other developers get started with these APIs. I might go build a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kittensgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kittensgame</a> sample now

Mike Grieseoh noI just spent entirely too long debugging why my calls to `GetCursorPos` were never quite right. It'd always return a position on the primary monitor.Was it not actually absolute? Not DPI scaled? Was I accidentally using uninitialized memory? It was never _exactly_ the same position, what?Nope. The breakpoint was before the actual call to GetCursorPos. I was getting the position of me clicking "step" in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/VisualStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VisualStudio</a>gonna go log off for the day now<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cmdpal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cmdpal</a>
