This commit reduces the code surface that interacts with raw JSON data,
reducing code complexity and improving maintainability.
Files that needed to be changed drastically were additionally
cleaned up to remove any code cruft that has accrued over time.
In order to facility this the following changes were made:
* Move JSON handling from `CascadiaSettings` into `SettingsLoader`
This allows us to use STL containers for data model instances.
For instance profiles are now added to a hashmap for O(1) lookup.
* JSON parsing within `SettingsLoader` doesn't differentiate between user,
inbox and fragment JSON data, reducing code complexity and size.
It also centralizes common concerns, like profile deduplication and
ensuring that all profiles are assigned a GUID.
* Direct JSON modification, like the insertion of dynamic profiles into
settings.json were removed. This vastly reduces code complexity,
but unfortunately removes support for comments in JSON on first start.
* `ColorScheme`s cannot be layered. As such its `LayerJson` API was replaced
with `FromJson`, allowing us to remove JSON-based color scheme validation.
* `Profile`s used to test their wish to layer using `ShouldBeLayered`, which
was replaced with a GUID-based hashmap lookup on previously parsed profiles.
Further changes were made as improvements upon the previous changes:
* Compact the JSON files embedded binary, saving 28kB
* Prevent double-initialization of the color table in `ColorScheme`
* Making `til::color` getters `constexpr`, allow better optimizations
The result is a reduction of:
* 48kB binary size for the Settings.Model.dll
* 5-10% startup duration
* 26% code for the `CascadiaSettings` class
* 1% overall code in this project
Furthermore this results in the following breaking changes:
* The long deprecated "globals" settings object will not be detected and no
warning will be created during load.
* The initial creation of a new settings.json will not produce helpful comments.
Both cases are caused by the removal of manual JSON handling and the
move to representing the settings file with model objects instead

This commit adds initial support for saving window layout on application
close.
Done:
- Add user setting for if tabs should be maintained.
- Added events to track the number of open windows for the monarch, and
then save if you are the last window closing.
- Saves layout when the user explicitly hits the "Close Window" button.
- If the user manually closed all of their tabs (through the tab x
button or through closing all panes on the tab) then remove any saved
state.
- Saves in the ApplicationState file a list of actions the terminal can
perform to restore its layout and the window size/position
information.
- This saves an action to focus the correct pane, but this won't
actually work without #10978. Note that if you have a pane zoomed, it
does still zoom the correct pane, but when you unzoom it will have a
different pane selected.
Todo:
- multiple windows? Right now it can only handle loading/saving one
window.
- PR #11083 will save multiple windows.
- This also sometimes runs into the existing bug where multiple tabs
appear to be focused on opening.
Next Steps:
- The business logic of when the save is triggered can be adjusted as
necessary.
- Right now I am taking the pragmatic approach and just saving the state
as an array of objects, but only ever populate it with 1, that way
saving multiple windows in the future could be added without breaking
schema compatibility. Selfishly I'm hoping that handling multiple
windows could be spun off into another pr/feature for now.
- One possible thing that can maybe be done is that the commandline can
be augmented with a "--saved ##" attribute that would load from the
nth saved state if it exists. e.g. if there are 3 saved windows, on
first load it can spawn three wt --saved {0,1,2} that would reopen the
windows? This way there also exists a way to load a copy of a previous
window (if it is in the saved state).
- Is the application state something that is planned to be public/user
editable? In theory the user could since it is just json, but I don't
know what it buys them over just modifying their settings and
startupActions.
Validation Steps Performed:
- The happy path: open terminal -> set setting to true -> close terminal
-> reopen and see tabs. Tested with powershell/cmd/wsl windows.
- That closing all panes/tabs on their own will remove the saved
session.
- Open multiple windows, close windows and confirm that the last window
closed saves its state.
The generated file stores a sequence of actions that will be executed to
restore the terminal to its saved form.

Re-enables the delete button for generated profiles in the settings UI.
Additionally fixes "Startup Profiles" to only list active profiles.
Profiles are considered deleted if they're absent from settings.json, but their
GUID has been encountered before. Or in other words, from a user's perspective:
Generated profiles are added to the settings.json automatically only once.
Thus if the user chooses to delete the profile (e.g. using the delete button)
they aren't re-added automatically and thus appear to have been deleted.
Meanwhile those generated profiles are actually only marked as "hidden"
as well as "deleted", but still exist in internal profile lists.
The "hidden" attribute hides them from all existing menus. The "deleted" one
hides them from the settings UI and prevents them from being written to disk.
It would've been preferrable of course to just not generate and
add deleted profile to internal profile lists in the first place.
But this would've required far more wide-reaching changes.
The settings UI for instance requires a list of _all_ profiles in order to
allow a user to re-create previously deleted profiles. Such an approach was
attempted but discarded because of it's current complexity overhead.

Implement dropdown menu for choosing a default terminal application from inside the Windows Terminal Settings UI
## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes#9463
* [x] I work here.
* [x] Manual tests passed
* [x] https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/terminal/issues/314 (and cross reference #9462)
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
- Adds dropdown menu and a template card for displaying the available default applications (using the same lookup code as the console property sheet `console.dll`)
- Adds model to TSM for adapting the data for display and binding on XAML
- Lookup occurs on every page reload. Persistence only happens on Save Changes.
- Manifest changed for Terminal to add capability to opt-out of registry redirection so we can edit this setting
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Flipped the menu and pressed Save Changes and launched cmd from run box... it moved between the two.
- [x] Flipped system theme from light to dark and ensured secondary color looked good
- [x] Flipped the status with a different mechanism (conhost propsheet) and then reopened settings page and confirmed it loaded the updated status
- Implements the default application behavior and handoff mechanisms
between console and terminal. The inbox portion is done already. This
adds the ability for our OpenConsole.exe to accept the incoming server
connection from the Windows OS, stand up a PTY session, start the
Windows Terminal as a listener for an incoming connection, and then
send it the incoming PTY connection for it to launch a tab.
- The tab is launched with default settings at the moment.
- You must configure the default application using the `conhost.exe`
propsheet or with the registry keys. Finishing the setting inside
Windows Terminal will be a todo after this is complete. The OS
Settings panel work to surface this setting is a dependency delivered
by another team and you will not see it here.
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Manual adjust of registry keys to the delegation conhost/terminal
behavior
- [x] Adjustment of the delegation options with the propsheet
- [x] Launching things from the run box manually and watching them show
in Terminal
- [x] Launching things from shortcuts and watching them show in the
Terminal
Documentation on how it works will be a TODO post completion in #9462

Closes#492
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.
## Validation Steps Performed
I've been playing with it for a week now.

This commit introduces the terminal settings editor (to wit: the
Settings UI) as a standalone project. This project, and this commit, is
the result of two and a half months of work.
TSE started as a hackathon project in the Microsoft 2020 Hackathon, and
from there it's grown to be a bona-fide graphical settings editor.
There is a lot of xaml data binding in here, a number of views and a
number of view models, and a bunch of paradigms that we've been
reviewing and testing out and designing and refining.
