QuickTray UI Concept

A project log for PowerShell Quick Tray

Get a notification-tray-located palette for running powershell commands

So, I want the UI to mimic the default PowerShell App for the platform. Since, we are currently only designing the menu for Windows PowerShell The GUI will look like it was pulled straight from that application.

Here is the working draft:

Eventually on Linux...

I want to have the UI blackened for Ubuntu. I want to also see, if I can implement a detection script that checks for Windows Terminal, and matches the theme.

Use JSON config for backend for saving favorites per the details.

Refer to this log when writing the favorites:

Scratch using tabulation to navigate. Tabulation will be reserved for autocomplete

I might also add a secondary window that just implements the search field as a command palette

I think I might shorten the width, by making a scrolling text field for the favorites, and update the favorites to match */**/***, so that you can alternatively use the asterisk key instead of mouse/arrow/tab key to navigate to them
