## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds a execute commandline action (`wt`), which lets a user bind a key to a specific `wt` commandline. This commandline will get parsed and run _in the current window_.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
One important part of this change concerns how panes are initialized at runtime. We've had some persistent trouble with initializing multiple panes, because they rely on knowing how big they'll actually be, to be able to determine if they can split again.
We previously worked around this by ignoring the size check when we were in "startup", processing an initial commandline. This PR however requires us to be able to know the initial size of a pane at runtime, but before the parents have necessarily been added to the tree, or had their renderer's set up.
This led to the development of `Pane::PreCalculateCanSplit`, which is very highly similar to `Pane::PreCalculateAutoSplit`. This method attempts to figure out how big a pane _will_ take, before the parent has necessarily laid out.
This also involves a small change to `TermControl`, because if its renderer hasn't been set up yet, it'll always think the font is `{0, fontHeight}`, which will let the Terminal keep splitting in the x direction. This change also makes the TermControl set up a renderer to get the real font size when it hasn't yet been initialized.
## Validation Steps Performed
This was what the json blob I was using for testing evolved into
```json
{
"command": {
"action":"wt",
"commandline": "new-tab cmd.exe /k #work 15 ; split-pane cmd.exe /k #work 15 ; split-pane cmd.exe /k media-commandline ; new-tab powershell dev\\symbols.ps1 ; new-tab -p \"Ubuntu\" ; new-tab -p \"haunter.gif\" ; focus-tab -t 0",
},
"keys": ["ctrl+shift+n"]
}
```
I also added some tests.
# TODO
* [x] Creating a `{ "command": "wt" }` action without a commandline will spawn a new `wt.exe` process?
- Probably should just do nothing for the empty string
This PR adds support for always on top mode, via two mechanisms:
* The global setting `alwaysOnTop`. When set to true, the window will be
created in the "topmost" group of windows. Changing this value will
hot-reload whether the window is in the topmost group.
* The action `toggleAlwaysOnTop`, which will toggle the `alwaysOnTop`
property at runtime.
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
All "topmost" windows maintain an internal z-ordering relative to one
another, but they're all always above all other "non-topmost" windows.
So multiple Windows Terminal windows which are both `alwaysOnTop` will
maintain a z-order relative to one another, but they'll all be on top of
all other windows.
## Validation Steps Performed
Toggled always on top mode, both in the settings and also at runtime,
and verified that it largely did what I expected.
Closes#3038
This parameter was added as a workaround for our fast trackpad
scrolling. Since that was fixed before 1.0 shipped, in #4554, it has
been largely vestigial. There is no reason for us to keep it around any
longer.
It was also the only "logic" in TerminalSettings, which is otherwise a
library that only transits data between two other libraries.
I have not removed it from the schema, as I do not want to mark folks'
settings files invalid to a strict schema parser.
While I was in the area, I added support for "scroll one screen at a
time" (which is represented by the API returning WHEEL_PAGESCROLL),
fixing #5610. We were also storing it in an int (whoops) instead of a
uint.
Fixes#5610
## Summary of the Pull Request
Add support for "focus" mode, which only displays the actual terminal content, no tabs or titlebar. The edges of the window are draggable to resize, but the window can't be moved in borderless mode.
The window looks _slightly_ different bewteen different values for `showTabsInTitlebar`, because switching between the `NonClientIslandWindow` and the `IslandWindow` is _hard_.
`showTabsInTitlebar` | Preview

`true` |

## Summary of the Pull Request
In the wake of #6635, a couple things got missed in merges:
* `toggleRetroEffect` didn't get into the schema, nor did `renameTab` or
`commandPalette`.
* `toggleRetroEffect` also didn't get a name
Furthermore, I thought it might be a good idea to start sticking
commands into `bindings` even without `keys`. So I tried doing that for
`opentabColorPicker` and `toggleRetroEffect`, and found immediately that
the labels for the key chord still appear even when the text is empty.
So I added some XAML magic to hide those when the text is empty.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This proposes a change to how Terminal will scroll in response to newly
generated output. The Terminal will scroll upon receiving new output if
the viewport is at the bottom of the scroll history and no selection is
active.
This spec also explores the possibility of making this response
configurable with a `snapOnOutput` profile setting. It also discusses
the possibility of adding a scroll lock keybinding action.

* [X] Spec for #980
Before sending calling the `HandleClipboardData` member function on
the `PasteFromClipboardEventArgs` object when we receive a request
from the `TermControl` to send it the clipboard's text content, we
now display a warning to let the user choose whether to continue or
not if the text is larger than 5 KiB or contains the _new line_
character, which can be a security issue if the user is pasting the
text in a shell.
These warnings can be disabled with the `largePasteWarning` and
`multiLinePasteWarning` global settings respectively.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This is another iteration on the Command Palette spec, from #5674. These were some ideas that were tossed around by @DHowett, @cinnamon-msft and myself, formalized here. I proposed this as an addendum to the original spec, since I think the first made sense atomically, and this only makes sense as a set of changes to the original. I didn't want to go hacking up the original doc to add this set of changes.
**There are two proposals in this spec - they should be viewed as two atomic units. They can be accepted or rejected independently. I'm suggesting we approve both. They work _together_. I'm realizing now that this is worded confusingly, and it's on me to fix that.**

> ## Abstract
>
> This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Command Palette Spec].
> While that spec is complete in it's own right, subsequent discussion revealed
> additional ways to improve the functionality and usability of the command
> palette. This document builds largely on the topics already introduced in the
> original spec, so readers should first familiarize themselves with that
> document.
>
> One point of note from the original document was that the original specification
> was entirely too verbose when defining both keybindings and commands for
> actions. Consider, for instance, a user that wants to bind the action "duplicate
> the current pane". In that spec, they need to add both a keybinding and a
> command:
>
> ```json
> {
> "keybindings": [
> { "keys": [ "ctrl+alt+t" ], "command": { "action": "splitPane", "split":"auto", "splitMode": "duplicate" } },
> ],
> "commands": [
> { "name": "Duplicate Pane", "action": { "action": "splitPane", "split":"auto", "splitMode": "duplicate" }, "icon": null },
> ]
> }
> ```
>
> These two entries are practically the same, except for two key differentiators:
> * the keybinding has a `keys` property, indicating which key chord activates the
> action.
> * The command has a `name` property, indicating what name to display for the
> command in the Command Palette.
>
> What if the user didn't have to duplicate this action? What if the user could
> just add this action once, in their `keybindings` or `commands`, and have it
> work both as a keybinding AND a command?

This PR aims to move the command palette spec out of the draft state and into a finalized state for inclusion in the 2.0 version of the Windows Terminal.
Notably, I've added sections regarding the ability to run `wt` commandlines using the Command Palette UI, something we hadn't considered in the original draft, because `wt` commandlines didn't land for like _4 months_ after this first draft.

## Summary of the Pull Request
We have a number of bugs in the Terminal that all have the same singular root cause - VT input does not carry the same fidelity that Win32 input does. For Win32 applications there are certain keystrokes that simply cannot be represented with VT sequences.
This is my proposal for how we'll handle all these cases. I'm proposing a _new VT sequence_, which will enable the Terminal to send input with all of the information that an `INPUT_RECORD` might have, to conpty. There, conpty will be able to send input to the client application with the same fidelity they're used to, enabling these keys to work for those applications once again.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This looks like a big diff, but there's a bunch of existing code that
just got moved around, and there's a cool new Utils template.
The tests all pass, and this passed manual validation. I tried weird
things like "making a profile named `{ }`"
(w/ enough spaces to look like a guid), and yeah it doesn't let you
specify that one as a name, but _why would you do that?!_
Okay, this pull request abstracts the conversion of a profile name into
an optional profile guid out of the "New Terminal Tab Args" handler and
into a common space for all of CascadiaSettings to use.
It also cleans up the conversion of indices and names into optional
GUIDs and turns _those_ into further helpers.
It also introduces a cool new template for running value_or multiple
times on a chain of optionals. CoalesceOptionals is a "choose first,
with fallback" for N>1 optionals.
On top of all this, I've built support for an "unparsed default GUID":
we load the user's defaultProfile as a string, and as part of settings
validation we unpack that string using the helpers outlined above.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Please note, I'm a non-practicing C++ developer, there are a number of things I wasn't sure how to handle in the appropriate fashion, mostly around error handling and what probably looks like an incredibly naive (and messy) way to implement the async co_await behavior.
Error handling-wise, I found (don't ask me how!) that if you somehow mismatch the startup task's ID between the manifest and the call to `StartupTask::GetAsync(hstring taskId)`, you'll get a very opaque WinRT exception that boils down to a generic invalid argument message. This isn't likely to happen in the wild, but worth mentioning...
I had enough trouble getting myself familiarized with the project, environment, and C++/WinRT in general didn't want to try to tackle adding tests for this quite yet since (as I mentioned) I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm happy to give it a try with perhaps a bit of assistance in getting started 😃
Further work in this area of the application outside of this immediate PR might need to include adding an additional setting to contain launch args that the startup task can pass to the app so that users can specify a non-default profile to launch on start, window position (e.g., #653).
<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests wherever possible, but list manual validation steps taken as well -->
## Validation Steps Performed
✔️ Default settings:
Given the user does not have the `startOnUserLogin` setting in their profile.json,
When the default settings are opened (via alt+click on Settings),
Then the global settings should contain the `"startOnUserLogin": false` token
✔️ Applying setting on application launch
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task is `disabled` and
the application is not running
When the application is launched
Then the `Windows Terminal` entry in the user's Startup list should be `enabled`
✔️ Applying setting on settings change
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task is `enabled` and
the application is running
When the `startOnUserLogin` setting is changed to `false` and
the settings file is saved to disk
Then the `Windows Terminal` startup task entry should be `disabled`
✔️ Setting is ignored when user has manually disabled startup
Given the `startOnUserLogin` is `true` and
the application is not running and
the `Windows Terminal` startup task has been set to `disabled` via user action
When the application is launched
Then the startup task should remain disabled and
the application should not throw an exception
#### note: Task Manager does not seem to re-scan startup task states after launch; the Settings -> Apps -> Startup page also requires closing or moving away to refresh the status of entries

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
When we switched from full-screen repaints to incremental rendering, it seems like we exposed a situation where some display drivers and hardware combinations do not handle scroll and/or dirty regions (from `IDXGISwapChain::Present1`) without blurring the data from the previous frame. As we're really close to ship, I'm offering two options to let people in this situation escape it on their own. We hope in the future to figure out what's actually going on here and mitigate it further in software, but until then, these escape hatches are available.
1. `experimental.rendering.forceFullRepaint` - This one restores the pre-778 behavior to the Terminal. On every single frame paint, we'll invalidate the entire screen and repaint it.
2. `experimental.rendering.software` - This one uses the software WARP renderer instead of using the hardware and display driver directly. The theory is that this will sidestep any driver bugs or hardware variations.
One, the other, or both of these may be field-applied by users who are experiencing this behavior.
Reverting #778 completely would also resolve this, but it would give back our largest performance win in the whole Terminal project. We don't believe that's acceptable when seemingly a majority of the users are experiencing the performance benefit with no detriment to graphical display.
## Validation Steps Performed
- [x] Flipped them on and verified with the debugger that they are being applied to the rendering pipeline
- [ ] Gave a private copy to community members in #5759 and had them try whether one, the other, or both resolved their issue.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
### Background
- We want the Terminal to be fast at drawing. To be fast at drawing, we perform differential drawing, or only drawing what is different from the previous frame. We use DXGI's `Present1` method to help us with this as it helps us compose only the deltas onto the previous frame at drawing time and assists us in scrolling regions from the previous frame without intervention. However, it only works on strictly integer pixel row heights.
- Most of the hit testing and size-calculation logic in both the `conhost` and the Terminal products are based on the size of an individual cell. Historically, a cell was always dictated in a `COORD` structure, or two `SHORT` values... which are integers. As such, when we specify the space for any individual glyph to be displayed inside our terminal drawing region, we want it to fall perfectly inside of an integer box to ensure all these other algorithms work correctly and continue to do so.
- Finally, we want the Terminal to have font fallback and locate glyphs that aren't in the primary selected font from any other font it can find on the system that contains the glyph, per DirectWrite's font fallback mechanisms. These glyphs won't necessarily have the same font or glyph metrics as the base font, but we need them to fit inside the same cell dimensions as if they did because the hit testing and other algorithms aren't aware of which particular font is sourcing each glyph, just the dimensions of the bounding box per cell.
### How does Terminal deal with this?
- When we select a font, we perform some calculations using the design metrics of the font and glyphs to determine how we could fit them inside a cell with integer dimensions. Our process here is that we take the requested font size (which is generally a proxy for height), find the matching glyph width for that height then round it to an integer. We back convert from that now integer width to a height value which is almost certainly now a floating point number. But because we need an integer box value, we add line padding above and below the glyphs to ensure that the height is an integer as well as the width. Finally, we don't add the padding strictly equally. We attempt to align the English baseline of the glyph box directly onto an integer pixel multiple so most characters sit crisply on a line when displayed.
- Note that fonts and their glyphs have a prescribed baseline, line gap, and advance values. We use those as guidelines to get us started, but then to meet our requirements, we pad out from those. This results in fonts that should be properly authored showing gaps. It also results in fonts that are improperly authored looking even worse than they normally would.
### Now how does block and line drawing come in?
- Block and Line drawing glyphs are generally authored so they will look fine when the font and glyph metrics are followed exactly as prescribed by the font. (For some fonts, this still isn't true and we want them to look fine anyway.)
- When we add additional padding or rounding to make glyphs fit inside of a cell, we can be adding more space than was prescribed around these glyphs. This can cause a gap to be visible.
- Additionally, when we move things like baselines to land on a perfect integer pixel, we may be drawing a glyph lower in the bounding box than was prescribed originally.
### And how do we solve it?
- We identify all glyphs in the line and block drawing ranges.
- We find the bounding boxes of both the cell and the glyph.
- We compare the height of the glyph to the height of the cell to see if we need to scale. We prescribe a scale transform if the glyph wouldn't be tall enough to fit the box. (We leave it alone otherwise as some glyphs intentionally overscan the box and scaling them can cause banding effects.)
- We inspect the overhang/underhang above and below the boxes and translate transform them (slide them) so they cover the entire cell area.
- We repeat the previous two steps but in the horizontal direction.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Simple fix to update the example documentation with the recent changes to 0.11.
Literally just <kbd>ctrl+f</kbd> find-and-replace all the old `profiles.json` that are sitting around in the repo with `settings.json`. I didn't touch the specs, since it seemed better to leave them in the state that they were originally authored in.

These were already in the `SettingsSchema.md`, so I just updated the `profiles.schema.json` to have the descriptions as well.

It was brought to our attention that shipping a font with ligatures as our default
font could be an accessibility issue for the visually-impaired. Unfortunately, we
don't have a renderer setting to disable ligatures (#759). Fortunately however, we
DO already have a version of Cascadia that doesn't have ligatures.
If we ship that and set it as our default font, we'll at least let people _opt_ to
have ligatures enabled by switching from `Cascadia Mono` to `Cascadia Code`.
