This commit also transitions our keybinding events and event handlers to a
TypedEventHandler model with an "event args" class, as specified in the
keybinding arguments specification (#1349). In short, every event can be marked
Handled independently, and a Handled event will stop bubbling out to the
terminal. An unhandled event will be passed off to the terminal as a standard
keypress.
This unifies our keybinding event model and provides a convenient place for
binding arguments to live.
Fixes#2285.
Related to #1349, #1142.
Builds on the work of #1691 and #1915
Let's start with the easy change:
- `TermControl`'s `controlRoot` was removed. `TermControl` is a `UserControl`
now.
Ok. Now we've got a story to tell here....
### TermControlAP - the Automation Peer
Here's an in-depth guide on custom automation peers:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/accessibility/custom-automation-peers
We have a custom XAML element (TermControl). So XAML can't really hold our
hands and determine an accessible behavior for us. So this automation peer is
responsible for enabling that interaction.
We made it a FrameworkElementAutomationPeer to get as much accessibility as
possible from it just being a XAML element (i.e.: where are we on the screen?
what are my dimensions?). This is recommended. Any functions with "Core" at the
end, are overwritten here to tweak this automation peer into what we really
need.
But what kind of interactions can a user expect from this XAML element?
Introducing ControlPatterns! There's a ton of interfaces that just define "what
can I do". Thankfully, we already know that we're supposed to be
`ScreenInfoUiaProvider` and that was an `ITextProvider`, so let's just make the
TermControlAP an `ITextProvider` too.
So now we have a way to define what accessible actions can be performed on us,
but what should those actions do? Well let's just use the automation providers
from ConHost that are now in a shared space! (Note: this is a great place to
stop and get some coffee. We're about to hop into the .cpp file in the next
section)
### Wrapping our shared Automation Providers
Unfortunately, we can't just use the automation providers from ConHost. Or, at
least not just hook them up as easily as we wish. ConHost's UIA Providers were
written using UIAutomationCore and ITextRangeProiuder. XAML's interfaces
ITextProvider and ITextRangeProvider are lined up to be exactly the same.
So we need to wrap our ConHost UIA Providers (UIAutomationCore) with the XAML
ones. We had two providers, so that means we have two wrappers.
#### TermControlAP (XAML) <----> ScreenInfoUiaProvider (UIAutomationCore)
Each of the functions in the pragma region `ITextProvider` for
TermControlAP.cpp is just wrapping what we do in `ScreenInfoUiaProvider`, and
returning an acceptable version of it.
Most of `ScreenInfoUiaProvider`'s functions return `UiaTextRange`s. So we need
to wrap that too. That's this next section...
#### XamlUiaTextRange (XAML) <----> UiaTextRange (UIAutomationCore)
Same idea. We're wrapping everything that we could do with `UiaTextRange` and
putting it inside of `XamlUiaTextRange`.
### Additional changes to `UiaTextRange` and `ScreenInfoUiaProvider`
If you don't know what I just said, please read this background:
- #1691: how accessibility works and the general responsibility of these two
classes
- #1915: how we pulled these Accessibility Providers into a shared area
TL;DR: `ScreenInfoUiaProvider` lets you interact with the displayed text.
`UiaTextRange` is specific ranges of text in the display and navigate the text.
Thankfully, we didn't do many changes here. I feel like some of it is hacked
together but now that we have a somewhat working system, making changes
shouldn't be too hard...I hope.
#### UiaTextRange
We don't have access to the window handle. We really only need it to draw the
bounding rects using WinUser's `ScreenToClient()` and `ClientToScreen()`. I
need to figure out how to get around this.
In the meantime, I made the window handle optional. And if we don't have
one....well, we need to figure that out. But other than that, we have a
`UiaTextRange`.
#### ScreenInfoUiaProvider
At some point, we need to hook up this automation provider to the
WindowUiaProvider. This should help with navigation of the UIA Tree and make
everything just look waaaay better. For now, let's just do the same approach
and make the pUiaParent optional.
This one's the one I'm not that proud of, but it works. We need the parent to
get a bounding rect of the terminal. While we figure out how to attach the
WindowUiaProvider, we should at the very least be able to get a bunch of info
from our xaml automation peer. So, I've added a _getBoundingRect optional
function. This is what's called when we don't have a WindowUiaProvider as our
parent.
## Validation Steps Performed
I've been using inspect.exe to see the UIA tree.
I was able to interact with the terminal mostly fine. A few known issues below.
Unfortunately, I tried running Narrator on this and it didn't seem to like it
(by that I mean WT crashed). Then again, I don't really know how to use
narrator other than "click on object" --> "listen voice". I feel like there's a
way to get the other interactions with narrator, but I'll be looking into more
of that soon. I bet if I fix the two issues below, Narrator will be happy.
## Miscellaneous Known Issues
- `GetSelection()` and `GetVisibleRanges()` crashes. I need to debug through
these. I want to include them in this PR.
Fixes#1353.
Adds the ability to resize panes with the keyboard.
This is accomplished by making the Column/RowDefinitions for a Pane use `GridLengthHelper::FromPixels` to set their size. We store a pair of floats that represents the relative amount that each pane takes out of the parent pane. When the window is resized, we use that percentage to figure out the new size of each child in pixels, and manually size each column.
Then, when the user presses the keybindings for resizePane{Left/Right/Up/Down}, we'll adjust those percentages, and resize the rows/cols as appropriate.
Currently, each pane adjusts the width/height by 5% of the total size at a time. I am not in love with this, but it works for now. I think when we get support for keybindings with arbitrary arg blobs, then we could do either a percent movement, or a number of characters at a time. The number of characters one would be trickier, because we'd have to get the focused control, and get the number of pixels per character, as adjacent panes might not have the same font sizes.
* Connects clipboard functionality to their keybindings.
* Cleaning up comments and whitespace.
* Added "copyTextWithoutNewlines" keybinding.
* Fixing tabs in idl file
* Fixing merge conflicts
* Adding default keybindings for copy and paste to ctrl-shift-c and ctrl-shift-v, respectively.
* Complying with refactoring
* Fixing formatting issues
* Start working on adding support for panes
See #1000 for the panes megathread on remaining work.
The functionality will be there, but the keybinding won't be there, so people have to
opt-in to it.
* added another method to scroll with keyboard
* set lastscrolloffset to 0
* fixed unused variable
* renamed ViewPort to Viewport
* changed keyBoard to keyboard in the functions, and added expliantion for function
* added keybindings
* untabfied the files
* fixed spacing issues and renamed termheight
* changed function names and other improvements
* made some auto variables const auto
* fixed tabs
* another try for the broken spacing
