Many include statements use forward slashes, while others use backwards
slashes. This is inconsistent formatting. For this reason, I changed the
backward slashes to forward slashes since that is the standard.
This PR adds support for the _blink_ graphic rendition attribute. When a
character is output with this attribute set, it "blinks" at a regular
interval, by cycling its color between the normal rendition and a dimmer
shade of that color.
The majority of the blinking mechanism is encapsulated in a new
`BlinkingState` class, which is shared between the Terminal and Conhost
implementations. This class keeps track of the position in the blinking
cycle, which determines whether characters are rendered as normal or
faint.
In Windows Terminal, the state is stored in the `Terminal` class, and in
Conhost it's stored in the `CONSOLE_INFORMATION` class. In both cases,
the `IsBlinkingFaint` method is used to determine the current blinking
rendition, and that is passed on as a parameter to the
`TextAttribute::CalculateRgbColors` method when these classes are
looking up attribute colors.
Prior to calculating the colors, the current attribute is also passed to
the `RecordBlinkingUsage` method, which keeps track of whether there are
actually any blink attributes in use. This is used to determine whether
the screen needs to be refreshed when the blinking cycle toggles between
the normal and faint renditions.
The refresh itself is handled by the `ToggleBlinkingRendition` method,
which is triggered by a timer. In Conhost this is just piggybacking on
the existing cursor blink timer, but in Windows Terminal it needs to
have its own separate timer, since the cursor timer is reset whenever a
key is pressed, which is not something we want for attribute blinking.
Although the `ToggleBlinkingRendition` is called at the same rate as the
cursor blinking, we actually only want the cells to blink at half that
frequency. We thus have a counter that cycles through four phases, and
blinking is rendered as faint for two of those four. Then every two
cycles - when the state changes - a redraw is triggered, but only if
there are actually blinking attributes in use (as previously recorded).
As mentioned earlier, the blinking frequency is based on the cursor
blink rate, so that means it'll automatically be disabled if a user has
set their cursor blink rate to none. It can also be disabled by turning
off the _Show animations in Windows_ option. In Conhost these settings
take effect immediately, but in Windows Terminal they only apply when a
new tab is opened.
This PR also adds partial support for the `SGR 6` _rapid blink_
attribute. This is not used by DEC terminals, but was defined in the
ECMA/ANSI standards. It's not widely supported, but many terminals just
it implement it as an alias for the regular `SGR 5` blink attribute, so
that's what I've done here too.
## Validation Steps Performed
I've checked the _Graphic rendition test pattern_ in Vttest, and
compared our representation of the blink attribute to that of an actual
DEC VT220 terminal as seen on [YouTube]. With the right color scheme
it's a reasonably close match.

Essentially what this does is map the default legacy foreground and
background attributes (typically white on black) to the `IsDefault`
color type in the `TextColor` class. As a result, we can now initialize
the buffer for "legacy" shells (like PowerShell and cmd.exe) with
default colors, instead of white on black. This fixes the startup
rendering in conpty clients, which expect an initial default background
color. It also makes these colors update appropriately when the default
palette values change.
One complication in getting this to work, is that the console permits
users to change which color indices are designated as defaults, so we
can't assume they'll always be white on black. This means that the
legacy-to-`TextAttribute` conversion will need access to those default
values.
Unfortunately the defaults are stored in the conhost `Settings` class
(the `_wFillAttribute` field), which isn't easily accessible to all the
code that needs to construct a `TextAttribute` from a legacy value. The
`OutputCellIterator` is particularly problematic, because some iterator
types need to generate a new `TextAttribute` on every iteration.
So after trying a couple of different approaches, I decided that the
least worst option would be to add a pair of static properties for the
legacy defaults in the `TextAttribute` class itself, then refresh those
values from the `Settings` class whenever the defaults changed (this
only happens on startup, or when the conhost _Properties_ dialog is
edited).
And once the `TextAttribute` class had access to those defaults, it was
fairly easy to adapt the constructor to handle the conversion of default
values to the `IsDefault` color type. I could also then simplify the
`TextAttribute::GetLegacyAttributes` method which does the reverse
mapping, and which previously required the default values to be passed
in as a parameter
VALIDATION
I had to make one small change to the `TestRoundtripExhaustive` unit
test which assumed that all legacy attributes would convert to legacy
color types, which is no longer the case, but otherwise all the existing
tests passed as is. I added a new unit test verifying that the default
legacy attributes correctly mapped to default color types, and the
default color types were mapped back to the correct legacy attributes.
I've manually confirmed that this fixed the issue raised in #5952,
namely that the conhost screen is cleared with the correct default
colors, and also that it is correctly refreshed when changing the
palette from the properties dialog. And I've combined this PR with
#6506, and confirmed that the PowerShell and the cmd shell renderings in
Windows Terminal are at least improved, if not always perfect.
This is a prerequisite for PR #6506Closes#5952
## Summary of the Pull Request
Move the contents and functionality of MouseInput from TerminalAdapter
to TerminalInput.
## References
#545 - VT Mouse Mode (Terminal)
#376 - VT Mouse Mode (ConPty)
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Pretty straightforward. The MouseInput class was a bit large though so I
split it up into a few files. This should make TerminalInput a bit
easier to manage.
- `mouseInputState`: enable some of the modes for mouse input. All saved
to `_mouseInputState`.
- `mouseInput`: basically just `HandleMouse()` and any helper functions
## Validation Steps Performed
Tests should still pass.
* Removed using namespace directive from header files and put these in cpp files where they are used
* Fixed tabbing issues by replacing them with spaces.
Also regrouped the using directives.
* Update src/host/exemain.cpp
