## Summary of the Pull Request
Add a history to command palette in the command line mode.
Few considerations/limitations
1. In-memory, 10 entries hard-coded
2. MRU
3. List rather than set
4. The user needs explicitly select command from the history

## Validation Steps Performed
* Manual testing
In introduced a bug in #8185, due to which Command Palette sorts items
alphabetically in the tab switcher mode. This PR fixes it.
Validation:
Created tabs with different names and verified that the MRU order is
preserved
Closes#8185
* Created a ViewModel class in the Command Palette called
FilteredCommand, aggregating the Command, the filter and the
highlighted presentation of the command name
* This ListView of the filtered commands is bound to the vector of
FilteredCommands
* Introduced HighlightedTextControl user control with HighlightedText
view model
* Added this control to the ListView Item's grid
* Bound the FilteredCommand's highlighted command name to the user
control
## Validation Steps Performed
* UT for matching algorithm
* Only manual tests
* Searching in CommandLine, SwitchTab and Nested Command modes
* Checking for bot matching an non matching filters
* Dogfooding
Closes#6646
## Summary of the Pull Request
Changes the way the `useTabSwitcher` setting works. It now accepts either a boolean or a string:
* `true`, `"mru"`: Use the tab switcher with MRU tab switching
* `"inOrder"`: Use the tab switcher, with in-order tab switching
* `false`, `"disabled"`: Don't use the tab switcher. Tabs will switch in-order.
This is following the discussion chronicled in #8025, as well as the follow-up investigation in that thread.
## References
* #7952 introduced MRU tab switching
## PR Checklist
* [x] Closes#8025 - there's also discussion of using a parameter in an action to override this setting, but that should get punted to a follow-up task
* [x] I work here
* [x] Tests added/passed - YOU BET THEY WERE
* [ ] Requires documentation to be updated
## Validation Steps Performed
I've been switching tabs all day and all night, with different settings values, and hot-reloading the setting.
I also _ran the test_ I added.
This commit adds functionality so that users can move back from sub menu
whenever they want. As a result, users no longer have to close command
palette and open it again to get all commands again.
Closes#7910
This PR changes the ATS display order to _always_ be in most recently
used (MRU) order. I chose not to give ATS the option to be displayed
in-order because that order is better served through the traditional
left-right TabRow switching.
_Note_: `TabSearch` will stay in-order.
This means that users can only choose one order or another in their
`nextTab/prevTab` bindings. Setting `useTabSwitcher` to true will make
nT/pT open the ATS in MRU order. If it's set to false, the ATS won't
open and nT/pT will simply go left and right on the TabRow.
I'm open to getting rid of the global and making ATS its own keybinding,
but for now I figured I would keep the current behavior and open the PR
to get eyes on the code that doesn't have anything to do with the
settings.
Closes#973
VsCode uses `>` as its "prefix" for the equivalent of their "action
mode". This PR aligns the Terminal with their logic here.
We have to be tricky - if we use the `>` in the actual input as the
indicator for action mode, we can't display any placeholder text in the
input to tell users to type a command. This wasn't an issue for the
commandline mode previously, because we'd stick the "prompt" in the "no
matches text" space. However, we can't do that for action mode. Instead,
we'll stick a floating text block over the input box, and when the
user's in action mode, we'll manually place a `>` into that space. When
the user backspaces the `>`, we'll remove it from that block, and switch
into commandline mode.
## Validation Steps Performed
Played with the cmdpal in lots of different modes, this finally feels
good
Closes#7736
## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR enables the ATS to display the active tab as the user navigates the tab switcher. We do this by dispatching the tab switch actions as the user navigates the menu, and manually _not_ focusing the new tab when the tab switcher is open.

#6904: TSM Spec
In the process of ripping out TSM from TerminalApp, a few other changes
were made to make this possible:
1. AppLogic's `ApplicationDisplayName` and `ApplicationVersion` was
moved to `CascadiaSettings`
- These are defined as static functions. They also no longer check if
`AppLogic::Current()` is nullptr.
2. `enum LaunchMode` was moved from TerminalApp to TSM
3. `AzureConnectionType` and `TelnetConnectionType` were moved from the
profile generators to their respective TerminalConnections
4. CascadiaSettings' `SettingsPath` and `DefaultSettingsPath` are
exposed as `hstring` instead of `std::filesystem::path`
5. `Command::ExpandCommands()` was exposed via the IDL
- This required some of the warnings to be saved to an `IVector`
instead of `std::vector`, among some other small changes.
6. The localization resources had to be split into two halves.
- Resource file linked in init.cpp. Verified at runtime thanks to the
StaticResourceLoader.
7. Added constructors to some `ActionArgs`
8. Utils.h/cpp were moved to `cascadia/inc`. `JsonKey()` was moved to
`JsonUtils`. Both TermApp and TSM need access to Utils.h/cpp.
A large amount of work includes moving to the new namespace
(`TerminalApp` --> `Microsoft::Terminal::Settings::Model`).
Fixing the tests had its own complications. Testing required us to split
up TSM into a DLL and LIB, similar to TermApp. Discussion on creating a
non-local test variant can be found in #7743.
Closes#885
Currently, `CommandPalette` creates and maintains the `SwitchToTab`
commands used for the ATS. When `Command` goes into the
TerminalSettingsModel, the palette won't be able to access `Command`'s
implementation type, making it difficult for `CommandPalette` to tell
`Command` to listen to `Tab` for changes.
This PR changes the relationship up so `Tab` now manages its
`SwitchToTab` command, and `CommandPalette` just plops the command from
`Tab` into its list.
## 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_.

## Validation Steps Performed
Tested manually
<!-- Enter a brief description/summary of your PR here. What does it fix/what does it change/how was it tested (even manually, if necessary)? -->
## 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.
Closes#7178

_look at that gif_
## 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 ${profile.name}...",
"commands": [
{ "command": { "action": "splitPane", "profile": "${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.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR adds the Advanced Tab Switcher (ATS) to Terminal. It'll work
similarly to VSCode's tab switcher. Because this implementation rides
off a lot of the Command Palette's XAML code, it'll look just like the
Command Palette, and also have support for tab title search.

#3753 - ATS Spec
Closes#1502
The command palette is a ListView of commands. As you type into the
search box, commands are added or removed from the ListView. Currently,
each update is done by completely clearing the backing list, then adding
back any items that should be displayed. However, this defeats the
ListView's built-in animations: upon every keystroke, ListView displays
its list-clearing animation, then animates the insertion of every item
that wasn't deleted. This results in noticeable flickering.
This PR changes the update logic so that it updates the list using
(roughly) the minimum number of Insert and Remove calls, so the ListView
makes smoother transitions as you type.
I implemented it by keeping the existing code that builds the filtered
list, but I changed it to build into a scratch list. Then I grafted on
a generic delta algorithm to make the real list look like the scratch
list.
To verify the delta algorithm, I tested all 360,000 permutations of
pairs of up to 5 element lists in a toy C# app.
## Validation
I'm not sure if my screen capture tool really caught all the flickering
here, but the screencasts below should give a rough idea of the
difference. (All the flickering was becoming a nuisance while I was
testing out the HC changes.)
See the images in #6939 for more info.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Pretty straightforward. Logs three scenarios:
* The user opened the command palette (and which mode it was opened in)
* The user ran a command from the palette
* The user dismissed the palette without running an action.
We discussed this in team sync yesterday.
## PR Checklist

* [n/a] Requires documentation to be updated
## Summary of the Pull Request
This adds a first iteration on the command palette. Notable missing features are:
* Commandline mode: This will be a follow-up PR, following the merge of #6537
* nested and iterable commands: These will additionally be a follow-up PR.
This is also additionally based off the addenda in #6532.
This does not bind a key for the palette by default. That will be done when the above follow-ups are completed.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
* There's a lot of code for autogenerating command names. That's all in `ActionArgs.cpp`, because each case is so _not_ boilerplate, unlike the rest of the code in `ActionArgs.h`.
## Validation Steps Performed
* I've been playing with this for months.
* Tests
* Selfhost with the team
