Summary PowerToys may get a Command Palette Dock for persistent, instant access to favorite tools. The dock is highly customizable: pin to any screen edge, arrange tools in three columns, and devs can style items. Still a proposal; community support is strong, so acceptance looks likely, but it may not ship. One of the coolest parts of keeping tabs on open-source software is that you get to peek into what the developers are making next. Proprietary software developers typically hide their hands to avoid competition from poaching their ideas before they have a chance to release, but FOSS apps don’t…
