cmatrix is somewhat of a pathological case for our infrastructure: it
prints out a bunch of green and white characters and then updates them a
million times a second.
It also maintains a column of space between every green character. When
it prints this column, it prints it in "default" or "white". This ends
up making runs of text that look like this:
(def: G=green B=bright white W=white *=matrix char =space)
G W G W G W G W G W G W G W G W
G W G W G W G W G W G W G W G W
G W G W G W G W G W G W G W G W
G W G W G W G W G W G W G W G W
G W G W G W G W G W G W G W G W
G W G W G W G W G W G W G W G W
G W G W G W G W G W G W G W G W
G W G W G W G W G W G W G W G W
As characters trickle in:
G*W G*W G*W G*W G*W G*W G*W B*W
G*W G*W G*W G*W G*W G*W G*W G W
G*W G*W G*W B*W G*W G*W G*W G W
G*W B*W G*W G W G*W G*W G*W G*W
G*W G W G*W G W G*W B*W G*W G*W
B*W G W G*W G W G*W G W B*W G*W
G W G W G*W G W G*W G W G W B*W
G W G W B*W G W G*W G W G W G W
Every one of those color transitions causes us to break up the run of
text and start rendering it again. This impacts GDI, Direct2D *and*
ConPTY. In the example above, there are 120 runs.
The problem is, printing a space doesn't **use** the foreground color!
This commit introduces an optimization. When we're about to break a text
cluster because its attributes changed, we make sure that it's not just
filled with spaces and doesn't differ in any visually-meaningful way
(like underline or strikethrough, considering global invert state).
This lets us optimize both the rendering _and_ the PTY output to look
like this:
G* * * * * * * B*G
G* * * * * * *
G* * * B*G * * *
G* B*G * * * * *
G* * * B*G * *
B*G * * B*G *
G * * B*G
G B*G *
Text will be printed at best line-by-line and at worst only when the
visible properties of the screen actually change. In the example
above, there are only 21 runs.
This speeds up cmatrix remarkably.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Make TerminalControl synthesize mouse events and Terminal send them to
the TerminalInput's MouseInput module.
The implementation here takes significant inspiration from how we handle
KeyEvents.
## References
Closes#545 - VT Mouse Mode (Terminal)
References #376 - VT Mouse Mode (ConPty)
### TerminalControl
- `_TrySendMouseEvent` attempts to send a mouse event via TermInput.
Similar to `_TrySendKeyEvent`
- Use the above function to try and send the mouse event _before_
deciding to modify the selection
### TerminalApi
- Hookup (re)setting the various modes to handle VT Input
- Terminal is _always_ in VT Input mode (important for #4856)
### TerminalDispatch
- Hookup (re)setting the various modes to handle VT Input
### TerminalInput
- Convert the mouse input position from viewport position to buffer
position
- Then send it over to the MouseInput in TerminalInput to actually do it
(#4848)
## Validation Steps Performed
Tests should still pass.
- When performing chunk selection, the expansion now occurs at the time
of the selection, not the rendering of the selection
- `GetSelectionRects()` was moved to the `TextBuffer` and is now shared
between ConHost and Windows Terminal
- Some of the selection variables were renamed for clarity
- Selection COORDs are now in the Text Buffer coordinate space
- Fixes an issue with Shift+Click after performing a Multi-Click
Selection
## References
This also contributes to...
- #4509: UIA Box Selection
- #2447: UIA Signaling for Selection
- #1354: UIA support for Wide Glyphs
Now that the expansion occurs at before render-time, the selection
anchors are an accurate representation of what is selected. We just need
to move `GetText` to the `TextBuffer`. Then we can have those three
issues just rely on code from the text buffer. This also means ConHost
gets some of this stuff for free 😀
### TextBuffer
- `GetTextRects` is the abstracted form of `GetSelectionRects`
- `_ExpandTextRow` is still needed to handle wide glyphs properly
### Terminal
- Rename...
- `_boxSelection` --> `_blockSelection` for consistency with ConHost
- `_selectionAnchor` --> `_selectionStart` for consistency with UIA
- `_endSelectionPosition` --> `_selectionEnd` for consistency with
UIA
- Selection anchors are in Text Buffer coordinates now
- Really rely on `SetSelectionEnd` to accomplish appropriate chunk
selection and shift+click actions
## Validation Steps Performed
- Shift+Click
- Multi-Click --> Shift+Click
- Chunk Selection at...
- top of buffer
- bottom of buffer
- random region in scrollback
Closes#4465Closes#4547
## Summary of the Pull Request
We used to return multiple text ranges to represent one selection. We only support one selection at a time, so we should only return one range.
Additionally, I moved all TriggerSelection() calls to the renderer from Terminal to TermControl for consistency. This ensures we only call it _once_ when we make a change to our selection state.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR removes all of the VT-specific functionality from the `WriteCharsLegacy` function that dealt with control characters, since those controls are now handled in the state machine when in VT mode. It also removes most of the control character handling from the `Terminal::_WriteBuffer` method for the same reason.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
There are four changes to the `WriteCharsLegacy` implementation:
1. The `TAB` character had special case handling in VT mode which is now no longer required. This fixes a bug in the Python REPL editor (when run from a cmd shell in Windows Terminal), which would prevent you tabbing past the end of the line. It also fixes#3971.
2. Following on from point 1, the `WC_NONDESTRUCTIVE_TAB` flag could also now be removed. It only ever applied in VT mode, in which case the `TAB` character isn't handled in `WriteCharsLegacy`, so there isn't a need for a non-destructive version.
3. There used to be special case handling for a `BS` character at the beginning of the line when in VT mode, and that is also no longer required. This fixes an edge-case bug which would prevent a glyph being output for code point 8 when `ENABLE_PROCESSED_OUTPUT` was disabled.
4. There was quite a lot of special case handling for control characters in the "end-of-line wrap" implementation, which is no longer required. This fixes a bug which would prevent "low ASCII" characters from wrapping when output at the end of a line.
Then in the `Terminal::_WriteBuffer` implementation, I've simply removed all control character handling, except for `LF`. The Terminal is always in VT mode, so the control characters are always handled by the state machine. The exception for the `LF` character is simply because it doesn't have a proper implementation yet, so it still passes the character through to `_WriteBuffer`. That will get cleaned up eventually, but I thought that could wait for a later PR.
Finally, with the removal of the VT mode handling in `WriteCharsLegacy`, there was no longer a need for the `SCREEN_INFORMATION::InVTMode` method to be publicly accessible. That has now been made private.
## Validation Steps Performed
I've only tested manually, making sure the conhost and Windows Terminal still basically work, and confirming that the above-mentioned bugs are fixed by these changes.
## Summary of the Pull Request
#4354 is a pretty complicated PR. It's got a bunch of conpty changes, but what it also has was some critical improvements to the roundtrip test suite. I'm working on some other bugfixes in the same area currently, and need these tests enhancements in those branches _now_. The rest of #4354 is complex enough that I don't trust it will get merged soon (if ever). However, these fixes _should_ be in regardless.
## PR Checklist

* [x] I work here
* [x] Tests added/passed
* [n/a] Requires documentation to be updated
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This is four main changes:
* Enable conpty to be fully enabled in unittests. Just setting up a VT renderer isn't enough to trick the host into being in conpty mode - it also needs to have some other flags set.
* Some minor changes to `CommonState` to better configure the common test state for conpty
* Move some of the verify helpers from `ConptyRoundtripTests` into their own helper class, to be shared in multiple tests
* Add a `TerminalBufferTests` class, for testing the Terminal buffer directly (without conpty).
This change is really easier than
would suggest, I promise.
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds two tests:
* First, I started by writing a test where I could write output to the console host and inspect what output came out of conpty. This is the `ConptyOutputTests` in the host unit tests.
* Then I got crazy and thought _"what if I could take that output and dump it straight into the `Terminal`"_? Hence, the `ConptyRoundtripTests` were born, into the TerminalCore unit tests.

Also, some other bits had to be updated:
* The renderer needed to be able to survive without a thread, so I hadded a simple check that it actually had a thread before calling `pThread->NotifyPaint`
* Bits in `CommonState` used `NTSTATUS_FROM_HRESULT` which did _not_ work outside the host project. Since the `NTSTATUS` didn't seem that important, I replaced that with a `HRESULT`
* `CommonState` likes to initialize the console to some _weird_ defaults. I added an optional param to let us just use the defaults.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
This is in support of hopefully turning audit mode on to more projects. If I turned it on, it would immediately complain about certain classes of issues like pointer and size, pointer math, etc. The changes in this refactoring will eliminate those off the top.
Additionally, this has caught a bunch of comments all over the VT classes that weren't updated to match the parameters lists.
Additionally, this has caught a handful of member variables on classes that were completely unused (and now gone).
Additionally, I'm killing almost all hungarian and shortening variable names. I'm only really leaving 'p' for pointers.
Additionally, this is vaguely in support of a future where we can have "infinite scrollback" in that I'm moving things to size_t across the board. I know it's a bit of a memory cost, but all the casting and moving between types is error prone and unfun to save a couple bytes.

These functionalities are included in the search experience.
1. Search in Terminal text buffer.
2. Automatic wrap-around.
3. Search up or down switch by clicking different buttons.
4. Search case sensitively/insensitively by clicking a button. S. Move the search box to the top/bottom by clicking a button.
6. Close by clicking 'X'.
7. Open search by ctrl + F.
When the searchbox is open, the user could still interact with the terminal by clicking the terminal input area.
While I already have the search functionalities, currently there are still some known to-do works and I will keep updating my PR:
1. Optimize the search box UI, this includes:
1) Theme adaptation. The search box background and font color
should change according to the theme,
2) Add background. Currently the elements in search box are all
transparent. However, we need a background.
3) Move button should be highlighted once clicked.
2. Accessibility: search process should be able to performed without mouse. Once the search box is focused, the user should be able to navigate between all interactive elements on the searchbox using keyboard.
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
To test:
1. checkout this branch.
2. Build the project.
3. Start Windows Terminal and press Ctrl+F
4. The search box should appear on the top right corner.
Enables support for word navigation when using an automation client (i.e.: Narrator, etc...). Specifically, adds this functionality to the UiaTextRange class. The only delimiter used is whitespace because that's how words are separated in English.
# General "Word Movement" Expectations
The resulting text range should include any word break characters that are present at the end of the word, but before the start of the next word. (Source)
If you already are on a word, getting the "next word" means you skip the word you are on, and highlight the upcoming word appropriately. (similar idea when moving backwards)
# Word Expansion
Since word selection is supposed to detect word delimiters already, I figured I'd reuse that code. I moved it from TerminalCore to the TextBuffer.
Then I built on top of it by adding an optional additional parameter that decides if you want to include...
- the delimiter run when moving forward
- the character run when moving backwards
It defaults to false so that we don't have to care when using it in selection. But we change it to true when using it in our UiaTextRange
# UiaTextRange
The code is based on character movement. This allows us to actually work with boundary conditions.
The main thing to remember here is that each text range is recorded as a MoveState. The text range is most easily defined when you think about the start Endpoint and the end Endpoint. An Endpoint is just a linear 1-dimensional indexing of the text buffer. Examples:
- Endpoint 0 --> (0,0)
- Endpoint 79 --> (79,0) (when the buffer width is 80)
- Endpoint 80 -->(0,1) (when the buffer width is 80)
- When moving forward, the strategy is to focus on moving the end Endpoint. That way, we properly get the indexing for the "next" word (this also fixes a wrapping issue). Then, we update the start Endpoint. (This is reversed for moving backwards).
- When moving a specific Endpoint, we just have a few extra if statements to properly adjust for moving start vs end.
# Hooking it up
All we really had to do is add an enum. This part was super easy :)
I originally wanted the delimiters to be able to be defined. I'm not so sure about that anymore. Either way, I hardcoded our delimiter into a variable so if we ever want to expand on it or make that customizable, we just modify that variable.
# Defining your own word delimiters
- Import a word delimiter into the constructor of the ScreenInfoUiaProvider (SIUP)
- This defines a word delimiter for all the UiaTextRanges (UTR) created by in this context
- import a word delimiter into the UTR directly
- this provides more control over what a "word" is
- this can be useful if you have an idea of what text a particular UTR will encounter and you want to customize the word navigation for it (i.e consider adding / or \\ for file paths)
The default param of " " is scattered throughout because this is the word delimiter used in the English language.

Double/Triple click create a selection expanding beyond one cell. This PR makes it so that when you're dragging your mouse to expand the selection, you expand to the next delimiter defined by double/triple click.
So, double click expands by doubleClickDelimiter ranges. Triple click expands by line.
When you double/triple click, a word/line is selected. When you drag, that word/line will remain selected after the expansion occurs.
Closes#1933
## Details
Rather than resizing the selection when the mouse event occurs, I figured I'd do what I did with wide glyph selection: expand at render time.
We needed an enum `multiClickSelectionMode` to keep track of which expansion mode we're in.
Minor modifications to `_ExpandDoubleClickSelection*(COORD)` had to be made so that we can re-use them.
Actual expansion occurs in `_GetSelectionRects()`

**The Basics of Accessibility**
- [What is a User Interaction Automation (UIA) Tree?](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/ui-automation/ui-automation-tree-overview)
- Other projects (i.e.: Narrator) can take advantage of this UIA tree and are used to present information within it.
- Some things like XAML already have a UIA Tree. So some UIA tree navigation and features are already there. It's just a matter of getting them hooked up and looking right.
**Accessibility in our Project**
There's a few important classes...
regarding Accessibility...
- **WindowUiaProvider**: This sets up the UIA tree for a window. So this is the top-level for the UIA tree.
- **ScreenInfoUiaProvider**: This sets up the UIA tree for a terminal buffer.
- **UiaTextRange**: This is essential to interacting with the UIA tree for the terminal buffer. Actually gets portions of the buffer and presents them.
regarding the Windows Terminal window...
- **BaseWindow**: The foundation to a window. Deals with HWNDs and that kind of stuff.
- **IslandWindow**: This extends `BaseWindow` and is actually what holds our Windows Terminal
- **NonClientIslandWindow**: An extension of the `IslandWindow`
regarding ConHost...
- **IConsoleWindow**: This is an interface for the console window.
- **Window**: This is the actual window for ConHost. Extends `IConsoleWindow`
- `IConsoleWindow` changes:
- move into `Microsoft::Console::Types` (a shared space)
- Have `IslandWindow` extend it
- `WindowUiaProvider` changes:
- move into `Microsoft::Console::Types` (a shared space)
- Hook up `WindowUiaProvider` to IslandWindow (yay! we now have a tree)
### Changes to the WindowUiaProvider
As mentioned earlier, the WindowUiaProvider is the top-level UIA provider for our projects. To reuse as much code as possible, I created `Microsoft::Console::Types::WindowUiaProviderBase`. Any existing functions that reference a `ScreenInfoUiaProvider` were virtual-ized.
In each project, a `WindowUiaProvider : WindowUiaProviderBase` was created to define those virtual functions. Note that that will be the main difference between ConHost and Windows Terminal moving forward: how many TextBuffers are on the screen.
So, ConHost should be the same as before, with only one `ScreenInfoUiaProvider`, whereas Windows Terminal needs to (1) update which one is on the screen and (2) may have multiple on the screen.
🚨 Windows Terminal doesn't have the `ScreenInfoUiaProvider` hooked up yet. We'll have all the XAML elements in the UIA tree. But, since `TermControl` is a custom XAML Control, I need to hook up the `ScreenInfoUiaProvider` to it. This work will be done in a new PR and resolve GitHub Issue #1352.
### Moved to `Microsoft::Console::Types`
These files got moved to a shared area so that they can be used by both ConHost and Windows Terminal.
This means that any references to the `ServiceLocator` had to be removed.
- `IConsoleWindow`
- Windows Terminal: `IslandWindow : IConsoleWindow`
- `ScreenInfoUiaProvider`
- all references to `ServiceLocator` and `SCREEN_INFORMATION` were removed. `IRenderData` was used to accomplish this. Refer to next section for more details.
- `UiaTextRange`
- all references to `ServiceLocator` and `SCREEN_INFORMATION` were removed. `IRenderData` was used to accomplish this. Refer to next section for more details.
- since most of the functions were `static`, that means that an `IRenderData` had to be added into most of them.
### Changes to IRenderData
Since `IRenderData` is now being used to abstract out `ServiceLocator` and `SCREEN_INFORMATION`, I had to add a few functions here:
- `bool IsAreaSelected()`
- `void ClearSelection()`
- `void SelectNewRegion(...)`
- `HRESULT SearchForText(...)`
`SearchForText()` is a problem here. The overall new design is great! But Windows Terminal doesn't have a way to search for text in the buffer yet, whereas ConHost does. So I'm punting on this issue for now. It looks nasty, but just look at all the other pretty things here. :)
* Fixed a minor build warning
* Removed an unimplemented method declaration
* Added Microsoft::Terminal::Core::ControlKeyStates
