Command Palette crash on changing some extension changes

[VArterJr]

Microsoft PowerToys version

0.91.0

Installation method

PowerToys auto-update

Area(s) with issue?

Command Palette

Steps to reproduce

After upgrading to 0.91.0 certain Command Palette extensions cause a crash when trying to change their Alias. Built-in commands is one that does this quite often as does Windows Services. I'm trying to do things like :cmd for Built-in commands or :sys for Windows Services. I can't find rhyme or reason; it just crashes sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.

It does not crash all of Power Toys, just Command Palette. You must go back to PowerToys Settings and flip Enable Command Palette off and then on again to restart it.

Side Note: It looks like changing one extension and jumping to another does not "save" the changes in the first one if the app crashes before you close the Command Palette settings window. That may be by design, but it causes all kinds of pain when trying to change a lot of extensions and then the whole window crashes.

✔️ Expected Behavior

That the apps wouldn't crash when trying to change extension Alias settings. If some aliases are not allowed, then show a warning message box or something. Don't crash.

❌ Actual Behavior

As noted in Steps to reproduce above, sometimes changing an extension's Aliase causes it to crash, and you must restart Command Palette from PowerToys Settings.

Can you share the contents of %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.CommandPalette_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json?
