command palette dock

About this tag
The command palette dock is a new feature in Microsoft PowerToys 0.98 that transforms the existing Command Palette into a persistent, configurable toolbar anchored to any edge of the screen. It functions like a modular second taskbar for Windows 11, allowing users to pin live widgets, app shortcuts, and Command Palette extensions for quick access. The dock is designed to enhance workflow without replacing the native taskbar, offering a highly customizable interface that can display system info, media controls, and other utilities. This feature is currently a proof-of-concept under discussion on GitHub, with potential to reshape how power users interact with the Windows desktop.
