説明

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Great job on the new Command Palette feature — it's a solid improvement! I’d like to suggest two enhancements:

  1. Custom Search Path: Allow users to specify a custom file path or directory where the Command Palette should search, instead of being limited to the main project directory. This would be especially useful for users with multiple SSDs or external drives where assets, code, or resources are stored in different locations.

  2. Preview Option: Add a quick preview feature in the Command Palette. This would let users view the contents of a file or folder before opening it, making it easier to confirm they’ve selected the right item.

Scenario when this would be used?

This would be helpful for developers or creators working with:

  • Large projects spread across multiple storage locations
  • Linked folders or mounted drives
  • External content libraries

The custom path input would streamline workflows, and the preview feature would reduce the need to open multiple incorrect files.

Thanks again for the awesome work! 🙌

調査方針
Examine the existing command palette implementation in the PowerToys codebase, likely located in the 'src/modules/launcher' or similar directory. Review how the current search path is defined and how results are displayed. Propose a UI for custom path input and a preview pane, considering the existing code patterns. Engage with maintainers to confirm acceptance and design direction before implementation.
