Description

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.91.1

Installation method

WinGet

Area(s) with issue?

Command Palette

Steps to reproduce

The Command Palette looks great and I'm excited to use it and write my own extensions!

The documentation references a Reload command:

When you make changes to your extension, you can rebuild your project and deploy it again. Command Palette will not notice changes to packages that are re-ran through Visual Studio, so you'll need to manually run the "Reload" command to force Command Palette to re-instantiate your extension.

Extending your application with the new PowerToys Command Palette | DEM571 shows said Reload command in action.

However, I cannot find the Reload command while authoring my own extension using the Create a new extension command (or at all). Is there some sort of setting that must be enabled somewhere? I can't find anything about this online. Apologies if I missed something.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install PowerToys via winget
  2. Looks for Reload command.

Happy to provide more info as needed.

Thanks for watching!

I think I see what's happening here, and it's really dumb

reload will work

Reload won't.

I forgot to do a case-insensitive string match in FallbackReloadItem.UpdateQuery.

Thanks for catching this!
