This pull request implements a "feature flagging" system that will let
us turn Terminal and conhost features on/off by branch, "release" status
or branding (Dev, Preview, etc.).
It's loosely modelled after the Windows OS concept of "Velocity," but
only insofar as it is driven by an XML document and there's a tool that
emits a header file for you to include.
It only supports toggling features at compile time, and the feature flag
evaluators are intended to be fully constant expressions.
Features are added to `src\features.xml` and marked with a "stage". For
now, the only stages available are `AlwaysDisabled` and `AlwaysEnabled`.
Features can be toggled to different states using branch and branding
tokens, as documented in the included feature flag docs.
For a given feature Feature_XYZ, we will emit two fixtures visible to
the compiler:
1. A preprocessor define `TIL_FEATURE_XYZ_ENABLED` (usable from MIDL,
C++ and C)
2. A feature class type `Feature_XYZ` with a static constexpr member
`IsEnabled()` (usable from C++, designed for `if constexpr()`).
Like Velocity, we rely on the compiler to eliminate dead code caused by
things that compile down to `if constexpr (false)`. :)
Michael suggested that we could use `WindowsInbox` as a branding to
determine when we were being built inside Windows to supplant our use of
the `__INSIDE_WINDOWS` preprocessor token. It was brilliant.
Design Decisions
----------------
* Emitting the header as part of an MSBuild project
* WHY: This allows the MSBuild engine to ensure that the build is
only run once, even in a parallel build situation.
* Only having one feature flag document for the entire project
* WHY: Ease.
* Forcibly including `TilFeatureStaging` with `/FI` for all CL compiler
invocations.
* WHY: If this is a project-wide feature system, we should make it as
easy as possible to use.
* Emitting preprocessor definitions instead of constexpr/consteval
* WHY: Removing entire functions/includes is impossible with `if
constexpr`.
* WHY: MIDL cannot use a `static constexpr bool`, but it can rely on
the C preprocessor to remove text.
* Using MSBuild to emit the text instead of PowerShell
* WHY: This allows us to leverage MSBuild's `WriteOnlyWhenDifferent`
task parameter to avoid changing the file's modification time when
it would have resulted in the same contents. This lets us use the
same FeatureStaging header across multiple builds and multiple
branches and brandings _assuming that they do not result in a
feature flag change_.
* The risk in using a force-include is always that it, for some
reason, determines that the entire project is out of date. We've
gone to great lengths to make sure that it only does so if the
features _actually materially changed_.
Add missing keys to the schema:
- globalSummon (and args: desktop, monitor, name, dropdownDuration, toggleVisibility)
- quakeMode
- iterateOn
- commands
Also enforces required keys for commands and deprecates "keybindings"

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
There were some other pending keys mentioned on the issue, but I don't think they are pending anymore.
## Validation Steps Performed
Changed the `"$schema"` value in my settings.json to point to the edited one.
Update profiles schema to draft 2020-12 because as mentioned in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/98724#issuecomment-786502628, OpenAPI Specification 3.1 defines using JSON Schema 2020-12 and VS Code already has early implementation around it.
Basically, this just gets rid of the following error shown by VS Code when editing the settings.json file
```
Draft 2019-09 schemas are not yet fully supported.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds a new bellStyle called `window`. When `window` is set and a BEL is emitted, we flash the pane that emitted it.
Additionally, changes bellStyle in the SUI to a list of checkboxes instead of radio buttons, to match bellStyle being a flag-enum. Deprecates 'BellStyle::Visual' in the schema, but still allows it to be set in the json (it maps to `Window | Taskbar`)

Adds support for the `focusPane` action, and the `focus-pane` subcommand. These allow the user to focus a pane by it's ID.
* `focusPane` accepts an `id`, identifying the id of the pane to focus.

The ID isn't _totally_ useful right now, since users can't see them. But they're there, and used in-order. This is just slightly more ergonomic for complicated commandlines than `mf up; mf left`
## Validation Steps Performed

Tested a variety of commandlines. `wtd -w 0 mf down ; sp` and `wtd -w 0 fp -t 1 ; sp` gave me special difficulty.

#### ⚠️ this pr targets #9977
## Summary of the Pull Request
This adds support for part of the `monitor` property for `globalSummon`. It also goes a little off-spec:
```json
"monitor": "any"|"toCurrent"|"toMouse"
```
* `monitor`: This controls the monitor that the window will be summoned from/to
- `"any"`: Summon the MRU window, regardless of which monitor it's currently on.
- `"toCurrent"`/omitted: (_default_): Summon the MRU window **TO** the monitor with the current **foreground** window.
- [**NEW**] `"toMouse"`: Summon the MRU window **TO** the monitor where the **mouse** cursor is.
When I was playing with this, It felt like `toMouse` was always what I wanted, not `toCurrent`. We can always just comment that out if we think that's contentious - I'm aware I didn't originally spec that.

## Summary of the Pull Request
After reading through 114+ comments in #653 and related issues, I think I've finally wrapped my head around all the possible scenarios for quake mode. <!-- Speak now or forever hold your peace. --> This also includes "minimize to tray", because the two are a powerful combination. With the work already prototyped in [`dev/migrie/f/653-QUAKE-MODE`](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/tree/dev/migrie/f/653-QUAKE-MODE), [I'm starting to believe](https://j.gifs.com/58vKNx.gif) that we could actually land this in 2.0.
### Abstract
> Many existing terminals support a feature whereby a user can press a keybinding
> anywhere in the OS, and summon their terminal application. Oftentimes the act of
> summoning this window is accompanied by a "dropdown" animation, where the window
> slides in to view from the top of the screen. This global summon action is often
> referred to as "quake mode", a reference to the videogame Quake who's console
> slid in from the top.
>
> This spec addresses both of the following two issues:
> * "Quake Mode" ([#653])
> * "Minimize to tray" ([#5727])

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
For the record, I hate this. But it's great for quake mode, so _meh_. There's
shockingly more win keys claimed then you think - many more than the shortcut
guide even shows.
* `win+b`: Focus the tray?
* `win+t`: Focus the taskbar
* `win+p`: Project...
* `win+c`: The powertoys color picker
* `win+v`: cloud clipboard
So the list of valid combos is vanishingly small. It's all about that <kbd>win+~</kbd>
## Validation Steps Performed
Bound
```json
{ "keys": [ "win+`" ], "command": "commandPalette" },
```
and yea, it works as expected
This pull request adds an appearance configuration object to our
settings model and app lib, allowing the control to be rendered
differently depending on its state, and then uses it to add support for
an "unfocused" appearance that the terminal will use when it's not in
focus.
To accomplish this, we isolated the appearance-related settings from
Profile (into AppearanceConfig) and TerminalSettings (into the
IControlAppearance and ICoreAppearance interfaces). A bunch of work was
done to make inheritance work.
The unfocused appearance inherits from the focused one _for that
profile_. This is important: If you define a
defaults.unfocusedAppearance, it will apply all of defaults' settings to
any leaf profile when a terminal in that profile is out of focus.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds support for renaming windows.
It does so through two new actions:
* `renameWindow` takes a `name` parameter, and attempts to set the window's name
to the provided name. This is useful if you always want to hit <kbd>F3</kbd>
and rename a window to "foo" (READ: probably not that useful)
* `openWindowRenamer` is more interesting: it opens a `TeachingTip` with a
`TextBox`. When the user hits Ok, it'll request a rename for the provided
value. This lets the user pick a new name for the window at runtime.
In both cases, if there's already a window with that name, then the monarch will
reject the rename, and pop a `Toast` in the window informing the user that the
rename failed. Nifty!

This is entirely self-serving. In my go-to config, I like having some of
the panes for a given profile in a different color scheme. This will let
a user pass `--colorScheme <scheme name>` to manually override the
scheme for that profile. Neat!
## Summary of the Pull Request
Currently, when the MRU is enabled we lose the keybinding allowing us to
go forward/backward (aka right/left in LTR) in the tab view.
To fix that, this PR introduces "tabSwitcherMode" optional parameter to
the prevTab / nextTab commands.
If it is not provided the global setting will be used.
So if you want to go to adjacent tabs, even if MRU is enabled on the
system level you can use:
```
{ "command": { "action": "prevTab", "tabSwitcherMode": "inOrder" }, "keys": "ctrl+f1"}
{ "command": { "action": "nextTab", "tabSwitcherMode": "inOrder" }, "keys": "ctrl+f2"}
```
or even
```
{"command": { "action": "prevTab", "tabSwitcherMode": "disabled" }, "keys": "ctrl+f1"}
{ "command": { "action": "nextTab", "tabSwitcherMode": "disabled" }, "keys": "ctrl+f2"}
```
if you don't want tab switcher to show up

This PR adds new global setting `centerOnLaunch`. When set to `true`,
the Terminal window will be centered on the display it opens on.
So the interactions are like:
* `initialPos: x,y`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: default`
center on the monitor that x,y is on
* `initialPos: x,y`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: maximized`
maximized on the monitor that x,y is on (centered adds nothing)
* `initialPos: <omitted>`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: default`
center on the default monitor
* `initialPos: <omitted>`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: focus`
center, focus mode on the default monitor
* `initialPos: <omitted>`, `centered: true`, `launchMode: maximized`
maximized on the default monitor (centered adds nothing)

Adds support for the `windowingBehavior` global setting. This setting
controls how mutiple instances of `wt` behave in the absence of the `-w`
parameter. This setting has three values:
* `"useNew"`: (default) Multiple `wt` invocations (without the `-w`
param) always create new windows.
* `"useAnyExisting"`: When starting a new `wt`, we'll instead default to
any existing windows. `wt -w -1` will still create new windows.
* `"useExisting"`: Similar to `useAnyExisting`, but limits to
windows on the current desktop.
The IVirtualDesktopManager interface is _very_ limited. Hence why we
have to track the HWNDs manually, and ask if they're on the current
desktop.

This PR is a resurrection of #8522. @Hegunumo has apparently deleted
their account, but the contribution was still valuable. I'm just here to
get it across the finish line.
This PR adds new action for navigating to the next & previous search
results. These actions are unbound by default. These actions can be used
from directly within the search dialog also, to immediately navigate the
results.
Furthermore, if you have a search started, and close the search box,
then press this keybinding, _it will still perform the search_. So you
can just hit <kbd>F3</kbd> repeatedly with the dialog closed to keep
searching new results. Neat!
If you dispatch the action on the key down, then dismiss a selection on
a key up, we'll end up immediately destroying the selection when you
release the bound key. That's annoying. It also bothers @carlos-zamora
in #3758. However, I _think_ we can just only dismiss the selection on a
key up. I _think_ that's fine. It _seems_ fine so far. We've got an
entire release cycle to futz with it.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This is a more detailed spec for two parts of the "Process Model 2.0" work that's being tracked in #5000. In particular, this spec focuses on the management of Windows Terminal windows, including opening new tabs in existing windows.
Largely, the reader is expected to have already read the spec in progress in #7240, and already be familiar with the concept of "Monarch" and "Peasant" windows as introduced by that spec. For that reason, ⚠ **THIS PR IS TARGETING THE BRANCH FOR #7240** ⚠.
### Abstract
> This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Process Model 2.0
> Spec]. That document provides a big-picture overview of changes to the entirety
> of the Windows Terminal process architecture, including both the split of
> window/content processes, as well as the introduction of monarch/peasant
> processes. The focus of that document was to identify solutions to a set of
> scenarios that were closely intertwined, and establish these solutions would
> work together, without preventing any one scenario from working. What that
> document did not do was prescribe specific solutions to the given scenarios.

### Why are these two separate documents?
I felt that the spec that is currently in review in #7240 and this doc should remain separate, yet closely related documents. #7240 is more about showing how this large set of problems discussed in #5000 can all be solved technically, and how those solutions can be used together. It establishes that none of the proposed solutions for components of #5000 will preclude the possibility of other components being solved. What it does _not_ do however is drill too deeply on the user experience that will be built on top of those architectural changes.
This doc on the other hand focuses more closely on a pair of scenarios, and establishes how those scenarios will work technically, and how they'll be exposed to the user.
### TODO:
* [x] A thought - How will we handle arguments like `--fullscreen`, `--initialSize r,c`? They only apply when creating a new window, right?
* [x] When a `wt -s 1 split-pane` command is executed, we'll need to make sure to not _also_ create a new tab

## Summary of the Pull Request
This spec is _exceptionally long_, and is currently a work in progress. There are a few more things I'd like to have experimentally verified (though, I'm fairly certain they _will_ work, with the right combination of flags and such). Additionally, a few sections have remaining TODOs before the spec is finished. However, this spec is already fairly long, and I want to give people as much time to get their eyes on it as possible.
### Abstract
>
> The Windows Terminal currently exists as a single process per window, with one
> connection per terminal pane (which could be an additional conpty process and
> associated client processes). This model has proven effective for the simple
> windowing we've done so far. However, in order to support scenarios like
> dragging tabs into other windows, or having one top-level window with different
> elevation levels within it, this single process model will not be sufficient.
>
> This spec outlines changes to the Terminal process model in order to enable the
> following scenarios:
>
> * Tab Tearoff/ Reattach ([#1256])
> * Run `wt` in the current window ([#4472])
> * Single Instance Mode ([#2227])
> * Quake Mode ([#653])
> * Mixed Elevation ([#1032] & [#632])

Procedural solution for https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/756.
Introduces a `startupActions` global setting.
This setting is as string with the same format as actions in command line arguments.
It is used only if command line arguments were not provided
(aka running pure wt.exe).
The setting allows implicit new-tabs.
In the case of invalid syntax we show the warning dialog and ignore the setting.
The documentation PR is here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/terminal/pull/217
## Summary of the Pull Request
This is a spec for "pane navigation", as we've already got a bit of an implementation in #8183. We've also had a heated discussion in Teams, and I wanted to capture a bit of that in a more formal doc. I suppose that "informal Teams chat" didn't work out in the end 😆.
Also, this is @PankajBhojwani's feature so I'm gonna let him drive. I mostly wrote this to test out a new spec template.
After discussion, we landed on proposal D, with a minor change of `last` to `prev`. This is how it was in #8183 before I started meddling 😝

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This is not my best spec ever - again, mostly just trying to spawn discussion, and prototype the new spec template.
This guide serves as a reference on how to add a setting to Windows Terminal. It covers...
- Terminal Settings Model changes
- Settings UI changes
- `TerminalSettings` changes
- Actions and action arguments
As a part of #6800 (Settings UI Follow Up Tasks)
Merely fixed the capitalization of a word.

I was looking at conhost/OpenConsole and noticed it was being pretty
inefficient with allocations due to some usages of std::deque and
std::vector that didn't need to be done quite that way.
So this uses std::vector for the TextBuffer's storage of ROW objects,
which allows one allocation to contiguously reserve space for all the
ROWs - on Desktop this is 9001 ROW objects which means it saves 9000
allocations that the std::deque would have done. Plus it has the
benefit of increasing locality of the ROW objects since deque is going
to chase pointers more often with its data structure.
Then, within each ROW there are CharRow and ATTR_ROW objects that use
std::vector today. This changes them to use Boost's small_vector, which
is a variation of vector that allows for the so-called "small string
optimization." Since we know the typical size of these vectors, we can
pre-reserve the right number of elements directly in the
CharRow/ATTR_ROW instances, avoiding any heap allocations at all for
constructing these objects.
There are a ton of variations on this "small_vector" concept out there
in the world - this one in Boost, LLVM has one called SmallVector,
Electronic Arts' STL has a small_vector, Facebook's folly library has
one...there are a silly number of these out there. But Boost seems like
it's by far the easiest to consume in terms of integration into this
repo, the CI/CD pipeline, licensing, and stuff like that, so I went with
the boost version.
In terms of numbers, I measured the startup path of OpenConsole.exe on
my dev box for Release x64 configuration. My box is an i7-6700k @ 4
Ghz, with 32 GB RAM, not that I think machine config matters much here:
| | Allocation count | Allocated bytes | CPU usage (ms) |
| ------ | ------------------- | ------------------ | -------------- |
| Before | 29,461 | 4,984,640 | 103 |
| After | 2,459 (-91%) | 4,853,931 (-2.6%) | 96 (-7%) |
Along the way, I also fixed a dynamic initializer I happened to spot in
the registry code, and updated some docs.
## Validation Steps Performed
- Ran "runut", "runft" and "runuia" locally and confirmed results are
the same as the main branch
- Profiled the before/after numbers in the Visual Studio profiler, for
the numbers shown in the table

I loved the pixel shaders in #7058, but that PR needed a bit of polish
to be ready for ingestion. This PR is almost _exactly_ that PR, with
some small changes.
* It adds a new pre-profile setting `"experimental.pixelShaderPath"`,
which lets the user set a pixel shader to use with the Terminal.
- CHANGED FROM #7058: It does _not_ add any built-in shaders.
- CHANGED FROM #7058: it will _override_
`experimental.retroTerminalEffect`
* It adds a bunch of sample shaders in `samples/shaders`. Included:
- A NOP shader as a base to build from.
- An "invert" shader that inverts the colors, as a simple example
- An "grayscale" shader that converts all colors to grayscale, as a
simple example
- An "raster bars" shader that draws some colored bars on the screen
with a drop shadow, as a more involved example
- The original retro terminal effects, as a more involved example
- It also includes a broken shader, as an example of what heppens
when the shader fails to compile
- CHANGED FROM #7058: It does _not_ add the "retroII" shader we were
all worried about.
* When a shader fails to be found or fails to compile, we'll display an
error dialog to the user with a relevant error message.
- CHANGED FROM #7058: Originally, #7058 would display "error bars"
on the screen. I've removed that, and had the Terminal disable the
shader entirely then.
* Renames the `toggleRetroEffect` action to `toggleShaderEffect`.
(`toggleRetroEffect` is now an alias to `toggleShaderEffect`). This
action will turn the shader OR the retro effects on/off.
`toggleShaderEffect` works the way you'd expect it to, but the mental
math on _how_ is a little weird. The logic is basically:
```
useShader = shaderEffectsEnabled ?
(pixelShaderProvided ?
pixelShader :
(retroEffectEnabled ?
retroEffect : null
)
) :
null
```
and `toggleShaderEffect` toggles `shaderEffectsEnabled`.
* If you've got both a shader and retro enabled, `toggleShaderEffect`
will toggle between the shader on/off.
* If you've got a shader and retro disabled, `toggleShaderEffect` will
toggle between the shader on/off.

Adds a "move to previous pane" and "move to next pane" keybinding, which
navigates to the last/first focused pane
We assign pane IDs on creation and maintain a vector of active pane IDs
in MRU order. Navigating panes by MRU then requires specifying which
pane ID we want to focus.

## Summary of the Pull Request
I think we all agree that the current spec template doesn't always work. I
thought this layout might be better for the kinds of settings discussions we
have (more and more frequently now).
This is largely for discussion with the team - if there are other things we want
added, changed, or if we just want to merge this in with the primary spec
template, I'm all ears.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Introduces a new command called `moveTab`
This command has a single mandatory argument with values of `forward` and `backward`

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Went for the straightforward solution of moving the tab and the tabViewItem.
## Validation Steps Performed
* Manual testing
Many include statements use forward slashes, while others use backwards
slashes. This is inconsistent formatting. For this reason, I changed the
backward slashes to forward slashes since that is the standard.
* Add a tabColor parameter to the `new-tab` and `split-panes` command
* Add --tabColor to the command line, to allow bootstrapping with tabs
of different colors
Add another field to NewTerminalArgs. Use this field to set
StartingTabColor in Terminal. This color gets overridden by the color
defined by the profile / VT, however can be overridden with the color
picker.
Since the color is the property of the Terminal, when defined for the
tab this color is associated only with the first pane/terminal of the
tab. Additional panes will not inherit this color (to prevent advanced
resolution, where we need to resolve between the inherited color and the
one specified for the pane).
## Validation Steps Performed
* UT for parameters parsing
* Running system with several tabs of different colors.
* Adding custom actions with colors
* Performing operations like split pane, duplicate and so on
Closes#8075
The terminal taskbar icon can now flash when the BEL sequence is
emitted, to let the user know something needs their attention.
The `BellStyle` setting can now be set to `audible`, `visual` or both or
none. When the pane receives a BEL event and the `bellStyle` includes
`visual`, we bubble the event up all the way to `AppHost` to handle
flashing the taskbar.
Closes#1608
Fixes https parsing of the latest version of `profiles.schema.json`, particularly by VS Code Intellisense.
* [x] Closes#8249
The VS Code parsing warning below is a known and unrelated existing issue due to VS Code only supporting JSON Schema Draft 7. It does not prevent Intellisense from functioning.
> Draft 2019-09 schemas are not yet fully supported.
## Validation Steps Performed

The JsonUtils changes in #8018 revealed that we need more robust,
configurable optional handling. We learned that there's a class of
values that was previously underrepresented in our API: _strings that
have an explicit empty value_.
The Settings model supports starting directory, icon, background image
et al values that are empty. That emptiness _overrides_ a value set in a
lower layer, so it is not sufficient to represent the empty value for
any one of those fields as an unset optional.
There are a couple other settings for which we've implemented a
hand-rolled option type (for roughly the same reason): foreground,
background, any color fields that override values from the color scheme
_or_ the lower layer profile.
These requirements are best fulfilled by better optional support in
JsonUtils. Where the library would originally detect known types of
optional and pre-filter them out during `GetValue` and `SetValue`, it
will now defer to another conversion trait.
This commit introduces a helper conversion trait and an "option oracle".
The conversion trait will use the option oracle to detect emptiness,
generate empty option values, and read values out of option types. In so
doing, the trait is insulated from the implementation details of any
specific option type.
Any special logic for handling JSON null and option types has been
stripped from GetValue. Due to this, there is an express change in
behavior for some converters:
* `GetValue<T>(jsonNull)` where `T` is **not** an option type[1] has
been upgraded from a silent no-op to an exception.
Further, I took the opportunity to replace NullableSetting with
std::optional<std::optional<T>>, which accurately represents "setting
that the user might explicitly clear". I've added a test to
JsonUtilsTests to make sure it can serialize/deserialize double
optionals the way we expect it to.
Tests (Local, Unit for TerminalApp/SettingsModel):
Summary: Total=140, Passed=140, Failed=0, Blocked=0, Not Run=0, Skipped=0
[1]: Explicitly, if `T` is not an option type _and the converter does
not support null_.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Changes the way the `useTabSwitcher` setting works. It now accepts either a boolean or a string:
* `true`, `"mru"`: Use the tab switcher with MRU tab switching
* `"inOrder"`: Use the tab switcher, with in-order tab switching
* `false`, `"disabled"`: Don't use the tab switcher. Tabs will switch in-order.
This is following the discussion chronicled in #8025, as well as the follow-up investigation in that thread.
## References
* #7952 introduced MRU tab switching

* [x] I work here
* [x] Tests added/passed - YOU BET THEY WERE
* [ ] Requires documentation to be updated
## Validation Steps Performed
I've been switching tabs all day and all night, with different settings values, and hot-reloading the setting.
I also _ran the test_ I added.
This commit fixes our longstanding build artifact output issues and
finally unifies all C++ project output into bin/ and obj/.
In light of that, I've removed NoOutputRedirection.
I've also updated WTU and U8U16Test to use our common build props and
fixed any warnings/compilation errors that popped out.
I validated this change by running repeated incremental builds after
changing individual .cpp files in many of our C++/WinRT projects.
- The number of lines to move upon scroll up scroll down can be defined
in ScrollUp and ScrollDown commands (parameter is called
"rowsToScroll").
- If the number are not provided, use the system default (the one we are
using for mouse scrolls), rather than 1 line.
## Validation Steps Performed
* Manual testing
* Added custom bindings for scroll commands with different values,
verified they and the default appear and behave as expected
* Checked that invalid values are not allowed
Closes#5078
This introduces an addendum to the Terminal Settings Model spec that
covers inheritance and fallback. Basically, settings objects will now
have a reference to a parent object. If the settings object does not
have a setting defined, it will ask its parent to resolve the value. A
parent is set using the `Clone()` function. `Copy()` is used to copy the
value and structure of the settings model, whereas `Clone()` is used to
copy a reference to the settings model and build an inheritance tree.

Adds a new setting, `bellStyle`, to be able to disable the audible bell
added in #7679. Currently, this setting accepts two values:
* `audible`: play a noise on a bell
* `none`: Don't play a noise.
In the future, we can add a `"bellStyle": "visible"` for flashing the
Terminal instead of making a noise on bell.
## Validation Steps Performed
Pressing <kbd>Ctrl+G</kbd> in cmd, and hitting enter is an easy way of
triggering a bell. I set the setting to `none`, and presto, the bell
stopped.
Closes#2360
This commit introduces two new launch modes: focus and maximizedFocus.
* Focused mode, behaves like a default mode, but with the Focus Mode
enabled.
* Maximized focused mode, behaves like a Maximized mode, but with the
Focus Mode enabled.
There two ways to invoke these new modes:
* In the settings file: you set the "launchMode" to either "focus" or
"maximizedFocus"
* In the command line options, you can path -f / --focus, which is
mutually exclusive with the --fullscreen, but can be combined with the
--maximized:
* Passing -f / --focus will launch the terminal in the "focus" mode
* Passing -fM / --focus --maximized will launch the terminal in the
"maximizedFocus" mode
This should resolve a relevant part in the command line arguments

## Summary of the Pull Request
This introduces a spec for (what I like to call) winrt TerminalSettings. Basically, we need to move over some of the code that resides in TerminalApp that relates to the settings model, then expose some of the settings objects as winrt objects. Doing so will allow us to access/modify settings across different project layers (a must-have for the Settings UI).

## Summary of the Pull Request
Introduce the `IconPathConverter` to `TerminalApp`. `Command` and `Profile` now both return the unexpanded icon path. `IconPathConverter` is responsible for expanding the icon path and retrieving the appropriate icon source.
This also removes `Profile`'s expanded icon path and uses the `IconPathConverter` when necessary. This allows users to set profile icons to emoji as well. However, emoji do not appear in the jumplist.

<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? -->
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR splits the anchored and unanchored tab switcher into two. The anchored tab switcher is now baked into `nextTab`/`prevTab`, and the unanchored tab switcher command is just named `tabSearch`. `tabSearch` takes no arguments. To reflect this distinction, `CommandPalette.cpp` now refers to one as `TabSwitchMode` and the other as `TabSearchMode`.
I've added a global setting named `useTabSwitcher` (name up for debate) that makes the Terminal use the anchored tab switcher experience for `nextTab` and `prevTab`.
I've also given the control the ability to detect <kbd>Alt</kbd> KeyUp events and to dispatch keybinding events. By listening for keybindings, the ATS can react to `nextTab`/`prevTab` invocations for navigation in addition to listening for <kbd>tab</kbd> and the arrow keys.

#6989 forgot to add `togglePaneZoom` to the schema, so this does that.
WHILE I'M HERE:
* The action names in the schema and the actual source were both in _random_ order, so I sorted them alphabetically.
* I also added an unbound `togglePaneZoom` command to defaults.json, so users can use that command from the cmdpal w/o binding it manually.
- Add MENU key with "menu" "app" as key bindings.
- Updated profiles.schema.json and documentation.
## Validation Steps Performed
Ran tests locally.
Tested out the new key binding.
```{ "command": "openNewTabDropdown", "keys": "app" }```
Closes#7144
Adds array support for the existing `copyFormatting` global setting.
This allows users to define which formats they would specifically like
to be copied.
A boolean value is still accepted and is translated to the following:
- `false` --> `"none"` or `[]`
- `true` --> `"all"` or `["html", "rtf"]`
This also adds `copyFormatting` as a keybinding arg for `copy`. As with
the global setting, a boolean value and array value is accepted.
CopyFormat is a WinRT enum where each accepted format is a flag.
Currently accepted formats include `html`, and `rtf`. A boolean value is
accepted and converted. `true` is a conjunction of all the formats.
`false` only includes plain text.
For the global setting, `null` is not accepted. We already have a
default value from before so no worries there.
For the keybinding arg, `null` (the default value) means that we just do
what the global arg says to do. Overall, the `copyFormatting` keybinding
arg is an override of the global setting **when using that keybinding**.
References #5212 - Spec for formatted copying
References #2690 - disable html copy
Validated behavior with every combination of values below:
- `copyFormatting` global: { `true`, `false`, `[]`, `["html"]` }
- `copyFormatting` copy arg:
{ `null`, `true`, `false`, `[]`, `[, "html"]`}

## Summary of the Pull Request
⚠️ This spec has been moved from #6902. That version was branched off the new tab menu customization, and had a terribly convoluted git history. After discussion with the team, we've decided that it's best that this spec is merged atomically _first_, and used as the basis for #5888, as opposed to the other way around.
> This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Command Palette Spec],
