run's Issues

Searchbox is not transparent

It just looks odd.

Start menu will also open when pressing Win+R

When Win+R shortcut key is pressed, start menu will fly out with the Run app.

Using BaseWindow inheritance

The BaseWindow does not work when inheriting for a runbox window due to

WinRT information: Unable to cast object of type 'WinRT.IInspectable' to type 'Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.Button'.

For now all code is in the mainwindow but it should ideally move to base window for titlebar and close button

Show the full version number in the settings menu

Pls show the full version number in the settings menu, it will help identifying which version we have installed.

Text field not cleared

If closing the run dialog with the x, the contents of the text field are not cleared and are still present when re-opening the run dialog

Focus on textbox after dialog invoke

(Feature Request) Add "Default Display Position" settings in settings

Hope that you can add "Default Display Position" settings in settings window so that we can set where the run windows display by default.

Cursor Tracking is laggy when moving window

When moving the window, the movement doesn't match the cursor movement. It is lagging behind. Almost like a scaling issue.

FireCube.Run.Dialog.BUG.mp4

Setting app feels laggy (low refresh rate)

it seems that the app run as 60 fps or less but my monitor is 165hz

Some minor cosmetic suggestions

1. Add an option to always align the window to the default bottom left corner (or some other places)
2. Add an "Cancel" button like the original Run dialog
3. Change the window title to just "Run"

Please don't have people install a custom root certificate

It is a really bad practice to install custom root certificates, unless it is on a test machine or from somewhere you really trust.
Doing this will allow anything signed with that certificate to be trusted by the entire system.

Telling people to install from the store is the way to go.
If not, have them generate their own certificate and sign it with that - or use a trusted code signing certificate to sign the msix package, so people don't have to trust a custom root certificate.

Start menu opens up when using WIN+R shortcut

When the option Keyboard is enabled and when I then press WIN+R the run menu opens, but also the windows start menu.

Disable Spellcheck

I ran into a few commands like "shell:startup" that were spellchecked and automatically "corrected".
I think that this is not very nice for a command runner.

moving the run box is crazy

#10
it doesn't crash, just dragging it is the issue

Suggestion:

suggestion

add the option for run to start on system startup

Interactivity behaviours not working

Line 63 MainWindow.xaml, interactivity behaviour for combobox does not trigger. workaround is too hardcode the event which is not idea.

Refactoring

To do:

• Rename Hide variable to PersistAppInBackground
• Remove first item, not last https://github.com/FireCubeStudios/Run/blob/master/Run/Services/HistoryService.cs#L36
• Return Task.completedtask https://github.com/FireCubeStudios/Run/blob/master/Run/Services/HistoryService.cs#L42
• Async Task instead of void https://github.com/FireCubeStudios/Run/blob/master/Run/Services/HistoryService.cs#L32
• use constants for keyboard codes for example const uint VK_WINDOWS = 0x5B; instead of 0x5B
• Complete full seperation of view code to viewmodel to allow theming
• Handle the status if it failed

System tray right click

Two settings windows spawn when you right click on the system tray icon.

Removing key fails

Removing key fails. Fix is there in new Clippy app

Dragging window issue + Crashing

Yeah the title pretty much explained what's going on. This is what i'm having to dealt with:
(Windows 11 Beta 22621.674)

2022-10-22.21-21-37.mp4

2022-10-22.21-25-39.mp4

Enter to submit command?

I'm so used to doing that on Windows Run dialog and surprise that it didn't work?

Start Menu App Pinning Bug: Missing App Names on Start

Dear Developer,

I wanted to report a bug related to the pinning functionality in the Start menu. When I pin the Run app, the app name is not showing up. This issue makes it difficult to quickly identify and access pinned apps, resulting in a less user-friendly experience.

I kindly request your team to investigate and resolve this bug, as it significantly impacts the usability of the Start menu😊

make it no case sensetive - cant run uppercase commands

for example when you use CMD instead of cmd app will not launch cmd

Certificate expired

The certificate for the modern run menu is expired it says that the certificate validation date is from 4 of April 2022 to 4th of April 2023. Now It is past April and it can't be installed anymore... :(

when pressing win+shift+r, 2 run windows open

when i press win+shift+r, 2 windows from run open, even though im pretty sure im not double-clicking anything.

Store release feature grind

• Themes documentation and adding theme support
• Keyboard shortcuts customization
• Systay flyout
• Administrator mode
• Mostafa Walid Run
• Search indexing??

Improvement - Hook into Windows Run's history

Suggestion: save and load run history values from the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU) to carry over a user's history

Improve light mode

The "Run" button appears darker than normal in Light mode. This does not happen in Dark mode.

"Start using app" does nothing + other

Here's the introduction window getting stuck

If I decide to close the introduction window and try to relaunch the app, it starts in the background but crashes after 2-3 seconds.

(Feature Request) Add "Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter" to run program as Administrator

Hope that you can add this hotkeys, I always use it when I use windows run dialog.

corner radius

easiest fix

Close with pressing Escape on Keyboard

The original app closes by pressing escape on it. I, as an "every day" user of this dialog, am very used to this behavior and I think this should be supported by this app too.

Windows startup

add an option to start it up on windows startup

Add check for updates option to the settings

There should be a check for update option in the settings so that we don't have to open releases page to see if a new update is released.

you aren't running

every time you're not running I'm getting closer and closer

Opening an app using path in folder with space won't work without quoting

Heya! I just recently discovered a path bug to run executable on folder with spaces. Basically the program said that it didn't find matching path unless you explicitly quote the path "...". However, if we compare it with Microsoft's run context, it does run like what user expect.

If we remove executable name (for example: GenshinImpact.exe), it will successfully launch explorer with desired folder path instead.

Screenshots

Microsoft Run

Add new "Run" shortcut feature creator

Basically by adding a link shortcut to any location,/ program to the Windows with a unique name, a custom command can be created which is supported in cmd, regular run, search and this run app.

Start menu tray also triggered

When using below settings 'Run' also trigger start menu to open.

Add option to close with ESC key

Like native run, when you type ESC than the app close

(Feature Request) Allow setting a custom OpenAI API endpoint to experiment with locally hosted LLMs

Some open-source, locally run LLMs have the capability to emulate key features of the OpenAI API to "appear" to an application as GPT. Can you add support for a custom API endpoint to experiment with this and see if the performance of something like WizardLM or Falcon may be up to the task of generating commands?
I would then envision an input field in the Settings window with the default OpenAI API endpoint URL replaceable with your own.

opening on secondary monitor

Whenever i start my computer it opens the app on the secondary monitor
