## Summary of the Pull Request
This proposes a change to how Terminal will scroll in response to newly
generated output. The Terminal will scroll upon receiving new output if
the viewport is at the bottom of the scroll history and no selection is
active.
This spec also explores the possibility of making this response
configurable with a `snapOnOutput` profile setting. It also discusses
the possibility of adding a scroll lock keybinding action.
## PR Checklist
* [X] Spec for #980
Before sending calling the `HandleClipboardData` member function on
the `PasteFromClipboardEventArgs` object when we receive a request
from the `TermControl` to send it the clipboard's text content, we
now display a warning to let the user choose whether to continue or
not if the text is larger than 5 KiB or contains the _new line_
character, which can be a security issue if the user is pasting the
text in a shell.
These warnings can be disabled with the `largePasteWarning` and
`multiLinePasteWarning` global settings respectively.
Closes#2349
## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds a pair of `ShortcutAction`s for setting the tab color.
* `setTabColor`: This changes the color of the current tab to the provided color, or can be used to clear the color.
* `openTabColorPicker`: This keybinding immediately activates the tab color picker for the currently focused tab.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This is another iteration on the Command Palette spec, from #5674. These were some ideas that were tossed around by @DHowett, @cinnamon-msft and myself, formalized here. I proposed this as an addendum to the original spec, since I think the first made sense atomically, and this only makes sense as a set of changes to the original. I didn't want to go hacking up the original doc to add this set of changes.
**There are two proposals in this spec - they should be viewed as two atomic units. They can be accepted or rejected independently. I'm suggesting we approve both. They work _together_. I'm realizing now that this is worded confusingly, and it's on me to fix that.**

> ## Abstract
>
> This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Command Palette Spec].
> While that spec is complete in it's own right, subsequent discussion revealed
> additional ways to improve the functionality and usability of the command
> palette. This document builds largely on the topics already introduced in the
> original spec, so readers should first familiarize themselves with that
> document.
>
> One point of note from the original document was that the original specification
> was entirely too verbose when defining both keybindings and commands for
> actions. Consider, for instance, a user that wants to bind the action "duplicate
> the current pane". In that spec, they need to add both a keybinding and a
> command:
>
> ```json
> {
> "keybindings": [
> { "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+t" ], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split":"auto", "splitMode": "duplicate" } },
> ],
> "commands": [
> { "name": "Duplicate Pane", "action": { "action": "splitPane", "split":"auto", "splitMode": "duplicate" }, "icon": null },
> ]
> }
> ```
>
> These two entries are practically the same, except for two key differentiators:
> * the keybinding has a `keys` property, indicating which key chord activates the
> action.
> * The command has a `name` property, indicating what name to display for the
> command in the Command Palette.
>
> What if the user didn't have to duplicate this action? What if the user could
> just add this action once, in their `keybindings` or `commands`, and have it
> work both as a keybinding AND a command?

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR aims to move the command palette spec out of the draft state and into a finalized state for inclusion in the 2.0 version of the Windows Terminal.
Notably, I've added sections regarding the ability to run `wt` commandlines using the Command Palette UI, something we hadn't considered in the original draft, because `wt` commandlines didn't land for like _4 months_ after this first draft.

The spec introduces a keybinding argument of 'target' to be able to open a specific settings file. When the Settings UI gets implemented, it will also become an option.
Alternative designs were presented but the 'target' model was decided on.

## Summary of the Pull Request
We have a number of bugs in the Terminal that all have the same singular root cause - VT input does not carry the same fidelity that Win32 input does. For Win32 applications there are certain keystrokes that simply cannot be represented with VT sequences.
This is my proposal for how we'll handle all these cases. I'm proposing a _new VT sequence_, which will enable the Terminal to send input with all of the information that an `INPUT_RECORD` might have, to conpty. There, conpty will be able to send input to the client application with the same fidelity they're used to, enabling these keys to work for those applications once again.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This looks like a big diff, but there's a bunch of existing code that
just got moved around, and there's a cool new Utils template.
The tests all pass, and this passed manual validation. I tried weird
things like "making a profile named `{ }`"
(w/ enough spaces to look like a guid), and yeah it doesn't let you
specify that one as a name, but _why would you do that?!_
Okay, this pull request abstracts the conversion of a profile name into
an optional profile guid out of the "New Terminal Tab Args" handler and
into a common space for all of CascadiaSettings to use.
It also cleans up the conversion of indices and names into optional
GUIDs and turns _those_ into further helpers.
It also introduces a cool new template for running value_or multiple
times on a chain of optionals. CoalesceOptionals is a "choose first,
with fallback" for N>1 optionals.
On top of all this, I've built support for an "unparsed default GUID":
we load the user's defaultProfile as a string, and as part of settings
validation we unpack that string using the helpers outlined above.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Please note, I'm a non-practicing C++ developer, there are a number of things I wasn't sure how to handle in the appropriate fashion, mostly around error handling and what probably looks like an incredibly naive (and messy) way to implement the async co_await behavior.
Error handling-wise, I found (don't ask me how!) that if you somehow mismatch the startup task's ID between the manifest and the call to `StartupTask::GetAsync(hstring taskId)`, you'll get a very opaque WinRT exception that boils down to a generic invalid argument message. This isn't likely to happen in the wild, but worth mentioning...
I had enough trouble getting myself familiarized with the project, environment, and C++/WinRT in general didn't want to try to tackle adding tests for this quite yet since (as I mentioned) I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm happy to give it a try with perhaps a bit of assistance in getting started 😃
Further work in this area of the application outside of this immediate PR might need to include adding an additional setting to contain launch args that the startup task can pass to the app so that users can specify a non-default profile to launch on start, window position (e.g., #653).
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
✔️ Default settings:
Given the user does not have the `startOnUserLogin` setting in their profile.json,
When the default settings are opened (via alt+click on Settings),
Then the global settings should contain the `"startOnUserLogin": false` token
✔️ Applying setting on application launch
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task is `disabled` and
the application is not running
When the application is launched
Then the `Windows Terminal` entry in the user's Startup list should be `enabled`
✔️ Applying setting on settings change
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task is `enabled` and
the application is running
When the `startOnUserLogin` setting is changed to `false` and
the settings file is saved to disk
Then the `Windows Terminal` startup task entry should be `disabled`
✔️ Setting is ignored when user has manually disabled startup
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the application is not running and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task has been set to `disabled` via user action
When the application is launched
Then the startup task should remain disabled and
the application should not throw an exception
#### note: Task Manager does not seem to re-scan startup task states after launch; the Settings -> Apps -> Startup page also requires closing or moving away to refresh the status of entries

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
When we switched from full-screen repaints to incremental rendering, it seems like we exposed a situation where some display drivers and hardware combinations do not handle scroll and/or dirty regions (from `IDXGISwapChain::Present1`) without blurring the data from the previous frame. As we're really close to ship, I'm offering two options to let people in this situation escape it on their own. We hope in the future to figure out what's actually going on here and mitigate it further in software, but until then, these escape hatches are available.
1. `experimental.rendering.forceFullRepaint` - This one restores the pre-778 behavior to the Terminal. On every single frame paint, we'll invalidate the entire screen and repaint it.
2. `experimental.rendering.software` - This one uses the software WARP renderer instead of using the hardware and display driver directly. The theory is that this will sidestep any driver bugs or hardware variations.
One, the other, or both of these may be field-applied by users who are experiencing this behavior.
Reverting #778 completely would also resolve this, but it would give back our largest performance win in the whole Terminal project. We don't believe that's acceptable when seemingly a majority of the users are experiencing the performance benefit with no detriment to graphical display.
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Flipped them on and verified with the debugger that they are being applied to the rendering pipeline
- [ ] Gave a private copy to community members in #5759 and had them try whether one, the other, or both resolved their issue.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Background
- We want the Terminal to be fast at drawing. To be fast at drawing, we perform differential drawing, or only drawing what is different from the previous frame. We use DXGI's `Present1` method to help us with this as it helps us compose only the deltas onto the previous frame at drawing time and assists us in scrolling regions from the previous frame without intervention. However, it only works on strictly integer pixel row heights.
- Most of the hit testing and size-calculation logic in both the `conhost` and the Terminal products are based on the size of an individual cell. Historically, a cell was always dictated in a `COORD` structure, or two `SHORT` values... which are integers. As such, when we specify the space for any individual glyph to be displayed inside our terminal drawing region, we want it to fall perfectly inside of an integer box to ensure all these other algorithms work correctly and continue to do so.
- Finally, we want the Terminal to have font fallback and locate glyphs that aren't in the primary selected font from any other font it can find on the system that contains the glyph, per DirectWrite's font fallback mechanisms. These glyphs won't necessarily have the same font or glyph metrics as the base font, but we need them to fit inside the same cell dimensions as if they did because the hit testing and other algorithms aren't aware of which particular font is sourcing each glyph, just the dimensions of the bounding box per cell.
### How does Terminal deal with this?
- When we select a font, we perform some calculations using the design metrics of the font and glyphs to determine how we could fit them inside a cell with integer dimensions. Our process here is that we take the requested font size (which is generally a proxy for height), find the matching glyph width for that height then round it to an integer. We back convert from that now integer width to a height value which is almost certainly now a floating point number. But because we need an integer box value, we add line padding above and below the glyphs to ensure that the height is an integer as well as the width. Finally, we don't add the padding strictly equally. We attempt to align the English baseline of the glyph box directly onto an integer pixel multiple so most characters sit crisply on a line when displayed.
- Note that fonts and their glyphs have a prescribed baseline, line gap, and advance values. We use those as guidelines to get us started, but then to meet our requirements, we pad out from those. This results in fonts that should be properly authored showing gaps. It also results in fonts that are improperly authored looking even worse than they normally would.
### Now how does block and line drawing come in?
- Block and Line drawing glyphs are generally authored so they will look fine when the font and glyph metrics are followed exactly as prescribed by the font. (For some fonts, this still isn't true and we want them to look fine anyway.)
- When we add additional padding or rounding to make glyphs fit inside of a cell, we can be adding more space than was prescribed around these glyphs. This can cause a gap to be visible.
- Additionally, when we move things like baselines to land on a perfect integer pixel, we may be drawing a glyph lower in the bounding box than was prescribed originally.
### And how do we solve it?
- We identify all glyphs in the line and block drawing ranges.
- We find the bounding boxes of both the cell and the glyph.
- We compare the height of the glyph to the height of the cell to see if we need to scale. We prescribe a scale transform if the glyph wouldn't be tall enough to fit the box. (We leave it alone otherwise as some glyphs intentionally overscan the box and scaling them can cause banding effects.)
- We inspect the overhang/underhang above and below the boxes and translate transform them (slide them) so they cover the entire cell area.
- We repeat the previous two steps but in the horizontal direction.

It was brought to our attention that shipping a font with ligatures as our default
font could be an accessibility issue for the visually-impaired. Unfortunately, we
don't have a renderer setting to disable ligatures (#759). Fortunately however, we
DO already have a version of Cascadia that doesn't have ligatures.
If we ship that and set it as our default font, we'll at least let people _opt_ to
have ligatures enabled by switching from `Cascadia Mono` to `Cascadia Code`.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Minor cleanup on the schema. Globals isn't accepted anymore,
so the schema should not help you autocomplete anymore.
## Validation Steps Performed
Imported the new schema. You do _not_ get a warning when globals
is in. But, the schema won't suggest things when inside globals.
It's just treated as an unknown item.
However, "defaultProfile" is still required (more of a sanity test)
## Summary of the Pull Request
Added `splitMode` to settings schema JSON and md files.
The definition might need some tweaking.

## Summary of the Pull Request
`TrimWhitespace` is misleading. So it is now renamed as 'singleLine'. If true, it comes out as a single line! That makes more sense!
## PR Checklist
* [X] Closes#3824
## Validation Steps Performed
Attempted the keybinding with both settings (and none set).
Attempted mouse copy with and without shift.
## Summary of the Pull Request
Add `null`, `unbound` to schema for keybindings

This pull request migrates `profiles.json` to `settings.json` and removes the legacy roaming AppData settings migrator.
It also:
* separates the key bindings in defaults.json into logical groups
* syncs the universal terminal defaults with the primary defaults
* removes some stray newlines that ended up at the beginning of settings.json and defaults.json
Fixes#5186.
Fixes#3291.
### categorize key bindings
### sync universal with main
### kill stray newlines in template files
### move profiles.json to settings.json
This commit also changes Get*Settings from returning a string to
returning a std::filesystem::path. We gain in expressiveness without a
loss in clarity (since path still supports .c_str()).
NOTE: I tried to do an atomic rename with the handle open, but it didn't
work for reparse points (it moves the destination of a symbolic link
out into the settings folder directly.)
(snip for atomic rename code)
```c++
auto path{ pathToSettingsFile.wstring() };
auto renameBufferSize{ sizeof(FILE_RENAME_INFO) + (path.size() * sizeof(wchar_t)) };
auto renameBuffer{ std::make_unique<std::byte[]>(renameBufferSize) };
auto renameInfo{ reinterpret_cast<FILE_RENAME_INFO*>(renameBuffer.get()) };
renameInfo->Flags = FILE_RENAME_FLAG_REPLACE_IF_EXISTS | FILE_RENAME_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS;
renameInfo->RootDirectory = nullptr;
renameInfo->FileNameLength = gsl::narrow_cast<DWORD>(path.size());
std::copy(path.cbegin(), path.cend(), std::begin(renameInfo->FileName));
THROW_IF_WIN32_BOOL_FALSE(SetFileInformationByHandle(hLegacyFile.get(),
FileRenameInfo,
renameBuffer.get(),
gsl::narrow_cast<DWORD>(renameBufferSize)));
```
(end snip)
### Stop resurrecting dead roaming profiles
## Summary of the Pull Request
You no longer _need_ to specify the `split` argument to `splitPane`, it will default to `Automatic` instead of `None`

## Validation Steps Performed
I deleted my profiles.json and built from source. All profiles appeared in Cascadia Code.
This commit introduces a github action to check our spelling and fixes
the following misspelled words so that we come up green.
It also renames TfEditSes to TfEditSession, because Ses is not a word.

The pattern regex now correctly disallows keybindings consisting of only
modifiers, modifiers not separated by "+", and unknown keys. Certain
shift+numpad combinations are also not allowed.
The description lists allowed key names in tabular format (assuming the
client renders \t correctly).
Add the option to set the cursor color as part of the color scheme.
This is very useful for light themes, where the cursor disappears unless its color
is set in the profile.
Related to issue #764, but doesn't fully resolve it.
## Validation
I tested this manually by creating a light color scheme, setting the cursor color
to black and setting the profile color scheme to the newly created color scheme.
I validated the cursor is black, then set the cursor color in the profile (to red)
and saw it trumps the cursor color from the color scheme.
If UseAcrylic is disabled, CTRL+SHIFT+SCROLL would enable it, without
having to change the setting in profile.json manually.
1. Set "useAcrylic" to false for the any profile in profile.json
2. Open terminal window for that profile.
3. CTRL+SHIFT+MouseScroll
Acrylic background opacity should change according to mouse scroll

Closes#661
## Summary of the Pull Request
`keys` in `keybindings` now accepts a string value. This assumes that you wanted a keychord of size 1. The schema and user docs were properly updated too.
This means that the following keybinding is now accepted in your profiles.json:
```json
{ "command": "copy", "keys": "ctrl+c" }
```
as opposed to...
```json
{ "command": "copy", "keys": [ "ctrl+c" ] }
```

## Summary of the Pull Request
So this PR adds a profile setting called "confirmCloseAllTabs", that allows one to enable or disable the "Do you want close all tabs?" dialog that appears when you close a window with multiple open tabs. It current defaults to "true". Also adds a checkbox to that dialog that also sets "confirmCloseAllTabs"

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
I added a checkbox to the close dialog to set this setting, but I'm not sure how to best go about actually changing the setting from code; am open to suggestions, as to how it should be done, or if I should also just remove it and stick with the profile setting.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
1. Set "confirmCloseAllTabs" to false in my profile.json file.
2. Opened a 2nd tab.
3. Closed the window
4. Observed that there was no confirmation before the window closed.
5. Set "confirmCloseAllTabs" to true
6. Repeat steps 2 and 3
7. Observe that there was a confirmation before the window closed.
This commit fixes an issue where "wt -d C: wsl -d Alpine" would be
parsed as "wt -d C: -d Alpine wsl" and rejected as invalid due to the
repeated -d. It also fixes support for the option parsing terminator,
--, in all command lines.
Fixes#4277.
## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds support for commandline arguments to the Windows Terminal, in accordance with the spec in #3495

## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes#607
* [x] I work here
* [x] Tests added/passed
* [ ] We should probably add some docs on these commands
* [x] The spec (#3495) needs to be merged first!
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
🛑 **STOP** 🛑 - have you read #3495 yet? If you haven't, go do that now.
This PR adds support for three initial sub-commands to the `wt.exe` application:
* `new-tab`: Used to create a new tab.
* `split-pane`: Used to create a new split.
* `focus-tab`: Moves focus to another tab.
These commands are largely POC to prove that the commandlines work. They're not totally finished, but they work well enough. Follow up work items will be filed to track adding support for additional parameters and subcommands
Important scenarios added:
* `wt -d .`: Open a new wt instance in the current working directory #878
* `wt -p <profile name>`: Create a wt instance running the given profile, to unblock #576, #1357, #2339
* `wt ; new-tab ; split-pane -V`: Launch the terminal with multiple tabs, splits, to unblock #756
## Validation Steps Performed
* Ran tests
* Played with it a bunch
