## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This one was probably the easiest thus far.
The only weird thing is how we handle InitialPosition. Today, we lose a
little bit of fidelity when we convert from LaunchPosition (int) -->
Point (float) --> RECT (long). The current change converts
LaunchPosition (optional<long>) --> InitialPosition (long) --> RECT
(long).
NOTE: Though I could use LaunchPosition to go directly from TermApp to
AppHost, I decided to introduce InitialPosition because LaunchPosition
will be a part of TerminalSettingsModel soon.

Profile is now a WinRT object in the TerminalApp project.
As with ColorScheme, all of the serialization logic is not exposed via
the idl. TerminalSetingsModel will handle it when it's all moved over.
I removed the "Get" and "Set" prefixes from all of the Profile
functions. It just makes more sense to use the `GETSET_PROPERTY` macro
to do most of the work for us.
`CloseOnExitMode` is now an enum off of the Profile.idl.
`std::optional<wstring>` got converted to `hstring` (as opposed to
`IReference<hstring>`). `IReference<hstring>` is not valid to MIDL.

## Summary of the Pull Request
The `index` action argument is now optional for `closeOtherTabs` and `closeTabsAfter`. When `index` is not defined, `index` is set to the focused tab's index.
Also, adds the non-index version of these actions to defaults.json.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Previously, if `altGrAliasing` was disabled, all `Ctrl+Alt` combinations were considered to be aliases of `AltGr` including `AltGr` itself and thus considered as key and not character events. But `AltGr` should not be treated as an alias of itself of course, as that prevents one from entering `AltGr` combinations entirely.

Fixes MSFT-28163465
This commit removes our local copy of clang-format 8 and replaces it
with a newly-built nuget package containing clang-format 10.
This resolves the inconsistency between our version of clang-format and
the one shipped in Visual Studio.
A couple minor format changes were either required or erroneously forced
upon us--chief among them is a redistribution of `*`s around SAL
annotations in inline class members of COM classes. Don't ask why; I
couldn't figure it out.
We had some aspirational goals for our formatting, which were left in
but commented out. Enabling them changes our format a little more than
I'm comfortable with, so I uncommented them and locked them to the
format style we've been using for the past year. We may not love it, but
our aspirations may not matter here any longer. Consistent formatting is
better than perfect formatting.
Most applications with scrollable content seem to define the "large
jump" distance as about a screenful of content. You can see this in long
pages in Settings and documents in Notepad.
We just weren't configuring ScrollBar here.
Fixes#7367
## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds support for "commandline mode" to the command palette.
This allows the user to start typing a `wt.exe` commandline directly in the command palette, to run that commandline directly in the current window. This allows the user input something like `> nt -p Ubuntu ; sp -p ssh` and open up a new tab and split it _in the current window_.

## 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.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds a pair of top-level commands that both have nested, iterable sub-commands. The "New Tab..." command has one child for each profile, and will open a new tab for that profile. The "Split Pane..." command similarly has a nested command for each profile, and also has a nested command for split auto/horizontal/vertical.

The easiest fix was actually just moving all the source files from
`TerminalApp` to `TerminalApp/lib`, where the appropriate `pch.h`
actually resides.
Closes#6866
In #6532, we thought it would be a good idea to add "bindings" as an
overload for "keybindings", as we were no longer going to use the
keybindings array for just keybindings. We were going to add commands.
So we started secretly treating `"bindings"` the same as
`"keybindings"`.
Then, in #7175, we discussed using "actions" as the key for the list of
commands/keybindings/global actions, instead of using "bindings". We're
going to be using this array as the global list of all actions, so it
makes sense to just call it `"actions"`.
This PR renames "bindings" to "actions". Fortunately, we never
documented the "bindings" overload in the first place, so we can get
away with this safely, and preferably before we ship "bindings" for too
long.
References #6899
#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.
Activating a template doesn't actually process conditions. Only jobs, stages, and tasks can process a condition. So specify the full condition in the parent template call as a parameter and ask the child job (who can actually evaluate the condition) to use that parameter to determine if it should run.
## Summary of the Pull Request
Allows for creating commands that iterate over the user's color schemes. Also adds a top-level nested command to `defaults.json` that allows the user to select a color scheme (pictured above). I'm not sure there are really any other use cases that make sense, but it _really_ makes sense for this one.

_look at that gif_
This PR changes the way VT control sequences are identified and
dispatched, to be more efficient and easier to extend. Instead of
parsing the intermediate characters into a vector, and then having to
identify a sequence using both that vector and the final char, we now
use just a single `uint64_t` value as the identifier.
The way the identifier is constructed is by taking the private parameter
prefix, each of the intermediate characters, and then the final
character, and shifting them into a 64-bit integer one byte at a time,
in reverse order. For example, the `DECTLTC` control has a private
parameter prefix of `?`, one intermediate of `'`, and a final character
of `s`. The ASCII values of those characters are `0x3F`, `0x27`, and
`0x73` respectively, and reversing them gets you 0x73273F, so that would
then be the identifier for the control.
The reason for storing them in reverse order, is because sometimes we
need to look at the first intermediate to determine the operation, and
treat the rest of the sequence as a kind of sub-identifier (the
character set designation sequences are one example of this). When in
reverse order, this can easily be achieved by masking off the low byte
to get the first intermediate, and then shifting the value right by 8
bits to get a new identifier with the rest of the sequence.
With 64 bits we have enough space for a private prefix, six
intermediates, and the final char, which is way more than we should ever
need (the _DEC STD 070_ specification recommends supporting at least
three intermediates, but in practice we're unlikely to see more than
two).
With this new way of identifying controls, it should now be possible for
every action code to be unique (for the most part). So I've also used
this PR to clean up the action codes a bit, splitting the codes for the
escape sequences from the control sequences, and sorting them into
alphabetical order (which also does a reasonable job of clustering
associated controls).
## Validation Steps Performed
I think the existing unit tests should be good enough to confirm that
all sequences are still being dispatched correctly. However, I've also
manually tested a number of sequences to make sure they were still
working as expected, in particular those that used intermediates, since
they were the most affected by the dispatch code refactoring.
Since these changes also affected the input state machine, I've done
some manual testing of the conpty keyboard handling (both with and
without the new Win32 input mode enabled) to make sure the keyboard VT
sequences were processed correctly. I've also manually tested the
various VT mouse modes in Vttest to confirm that they were still working
correctly too.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
We have had two classes of tests that don't work in our usual build-machine testing environment:
1. Tests that require interactive UI automation or input injection (a.k.a. require a logged in user)
2. Tests that require the entire Windows Terminal to stand up (because our Xaml Islands dependency requires 1903 or later and the Windows Server instance for the build is based on 1809.)
The Helix testing environment solves both of these and is brought to us by our friends over in https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml.
This PR takes a large portion of scripts and pipeline configuration steps from the Microsoft-UI-XAML repository and adjusts them for Terminal needs.
You can see the source of most of the files in either https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/tree/master/build/Helix or https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/tree/master/build/AzurePipelinesTemplates
Some of the modifications in the files include (but are not limited to) reasons like:
- Our test binaries are named differently than MUX's test binaries
- We don't need certain types of testing that MUX does.
- We use C++ and C# tests while MUX was using only C# tests (so the naming pattern and some of the parsing of those names is different e.g. :: separators in C++ and . separators in C#)
- Our pipeline phases work a bit differently than MUX and/or we need significantly fewer pieces to the testing matrix (like we don't test a wide variety of OS versions).
The build now runs in a few stages:
1. The usual build and run of unit tests/feature tests, packaging verification, and whatnot. This phase now also picks up and packs anything required for running tests in Helix into an artifact. (It also unifies the artifact name between the things Helix needs and the existing build outputs into the single `drop` artifact to make life a little easier.)
2. The Helix preparation build runs that picks up those artifacts, generates all the scripts required for Helix to understand the test modules/functions from our existing TAEF tests, packs it all up, and queues it on the Helix pool.
3. Helix generates a VM for our testing environment and runs all the TAEF tests that require it. The orchestrator at helix.dot.net watches over this and tracks the success/fail and progress of each module and function. The scripts from our MUX friends handle installing dependencies, making the system quiet for better reliability, detecting flaky tests and rerunning them, and coordinating all the log uploads (including for the subruns of tests that are re-run.)
4. A final build phase is run to look through the results with the Helix API and clean up the marking of tests that are flaky, link all the screenshots and console output logs into the AzDO tests panel, and other such niceities.
We are set to run Helix tests on the Feature test policy of only x64 for now.
Additionally, because the set up of the Helix VMs takes so long, we are *NOT* running these in PR trigger right now as I believe we all very much value our 15ish minute PR turnaround (and the VM takes another 15 minutes to just get going for whatever reason.) For now, they will only run as a rolling build on master after PRs are merged. We should still know when there's an issue within about an hour of something merging and multiple PRs merging fast will be done on the rolling build as a batch run (not one per).
In addition to setting up the entire Helix testing pipeline for the tests that require it, I've preserved our classic way of running unit and feature tests (that don't require an elaborate environment) directly on the build machines. But with one bonus feature... They now use some of the scripts from MUX to transform their log data and report it to AzDO so it shows up beautifully in the build report. (We used to have this before I removed the MStest/VStest wrapper for performance reasons, but now we can have reporting AND performance!) See https://dev.azure.com/ms/terminal/_build/results?buildId=101654&view=ms.vss-test-web.build-test-results-tab for an example.
I explored running all of the tests on Helix but.... the Helix setup time is long and the resources are more expensive. I felt it was better to preserve the "quick signal" by continuing to run these directly on the build machine (and skipping the more expensive/slow Helix setup if they fail.) It also works well with the split between PR builds not running Helix and the rolling build running Helix. PR builds will get a good chunk of tests for a quick turn around and the rolling build will finish the more thorough job a bit more slowly.
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Ran the updated pipelines with Pull Request configuration ensuring that Helix tests don't run in the usual CI
- [x] Ran with simulation of the rolling build to ensure that the tests now running in Helix will pass. All failures marked for follow on in reference issues.
This is based on (cribbed almost directly from) code written by the
inimitable @StephanTLavavej on one of our mailing lists.
This is a nice generic version of the approach used in
JsonUtils::EnumMapper and CodepointWidthDetector: a static array of
key-value pairs that we binary-search at runtime (or at compile time, as
the case may be.)
Keys are not required to be sorted, as we're taking advantage of
constexpr std::sort (VS 16.6+) to get the compiler to do it for us. How
cool is that?
static_map presents an operator[] or at much like
std::map/std::unordered_map does.
I've added some tests, but they're practically fully-solveable at compile
time so they pretty much act like `VERIFY_IS_TRUE(true)`.
- Add MENU key with "menu" "app" as key bindings.

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"]`}

ColorScheme is now a WinRT object.

Fixes#7297
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds support for both _nested_ and _iterable_ commands in the Command palette.
* **Nested commands**: These are commands that include additional sub-commands. When the user selects on of these, the palette will update to only show the nested commands.
* **Iterable commands**: These are commands what allow the user to define only a single command, which is repeated once for every profile. (in the future, also repeated for color schemes, themes, etc.)
The above gif uses the following json:
```json
{
"name": "Split Pane...",
"commands": [

"iterateOn": "profiles",
"name": "Split with ${profile.name}...",

{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "automatic" } },
{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "vertical" } },
{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${profile.name}", "split": "horizontal" } }

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
We've now gotta keep the original json for a command around, so that once we know what all the profiles will be, we can expand the commands that need it.
We've also got to parse commands recursively, because they might have any number of child commands.
These together made the command parsing a _lot_ more complicated, but it feels good so far.

Removes the if-statement in `UpdateTabIndices` that blocks all scenarios where you delete the second to last tab. This fixes the issue where the ATS gets confused about which item in the ListView is associated with which tab.
Closes#7278
This is a minor fix from #6989. If there's only one pane in the
Terminal, then we'd still "zoom" it and give it a border, but all the
borders would be black.
A single pane is already "zoomed", so it doesn't really make sense to
try and zoom if there's only one.
Whoops, members are zero initialized in Debug builds but most likely not
in Release builds So, this PR adds a couple of default values to
`_currentMode` and its associated XAML strings to make cmdpal/ats work
deterministically on first use. I also added a default value to
`_anchorKey` just to be safe.

## 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.
