Migrate to PowerToys CmdPal

Open SamGreenwood1 opened this issue 9 months ago • 2 comments

Thanks for the great plugin for PowerToys Run! I use it often for [briefly mention use case, e.g., "searching notes"].

Microsoft is introducing a new framework, PowerToys CmdPal: https://aka.ms/PowerToysOverview_CmdPal

As CmdPal might become central to PowerToys, could you please consider migrating or creating a version of the plugin compatible with it?

This would ensure users like me can continue using its functionality within the new interface as PowerToys evolves.

Thanks for considering!

Thanks for the feedback. Just tried CmdPal and it's looking very good, I'll try to make a version for it this week.

An update on this: I tried using CmdPal for the last month and I'm not really a big fan of it (feels unresponsive, doesn't seem to remember which results I open frequently, sometimes crashes). Hopefully this gets improved soon but for now I'm switching to FlowLauncher.

I don't have any plans of migrating BrowserSearch to CmdPal at the moment but anyone is welcome to make a pull request/fork/whatever, even a completely new project using all or a part of the code of this plugin. I'm fine with anything.
