## 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

## PR Checklist
* [x] CLA signed.
* [x] Documentation updates: microsoftdocs/terminal#107
* [x] Schema updated.
#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.
- Add MENU key with "menu" "app" as key bindings.
- Updated profiles.schema.json and documentation.
## Validation Steps Performed
Ran tests locally.
Tested out the new key binding.
```{ "command": "openNewTabDropdown", "keys": "app" }```
Closes#7144
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"]`}
Closes#4191Closes#5262

## Validation Steps Performed
Added the following keybindings:
```json
{ "keys": "p", "command": { "action": "sendInput", "input": "foobar" } },
{ "keys": "q", "command": { "action": "sendInput", "input": "\u001b[A" } },
```
Ensured that when pressing <kbd>P</kbd> "foobar" is echoed to the shell and when pressing <kbd>Q</kbd> the shell history is being navigated backwards.

* no two commits do not contain a misspelling of separate
## 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.
> This document is intended to serve as an addition to the [Command Palette Spec],
> as well as the [New Tab Menu Customization Spec].
>
> As we come to rely more on actions being a mechanism by which the user defines
> "do something in the Terminal", we'll want to make it even easier for users to
> re-use the actions that they've already defined, as to reduce duplicated json as

## 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.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Technically, the action is being done by changing the settings of the current `TerminalSettings` of the `TermControl`. Frankly, it should be operating on a copy of the `TermControl`'s `IControlSettings`, then updating the control's settings, or the Control should just listen for changes to it's setting's properties, and update in real time (without a manual call to `UpdateSettings`. However, both those paths are somewhere unknowable beyond #6904, so we'll just do this for now.
## Validation Steps Performed

## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds support for two actions, `closeOtherTabs` and `closeTabsAfter`. Both these actions accept an `index` parameter.
* `closeOtherTabs`: Close tabs other than `index`
* `closeTabsAfter`: Close tabs after `index` (This is also "Close tabs to the right")

* [ ] We should file an issue for "make the `index` param to `closeOtherTabs`, `closeTabsAfter` optional" to make them both work on the _active_ tab when there's no `index` provided
## Validation Steps Performed
* _Verified that_ closing all tabs when I have the `index`'th tab selected _works as expected_
* _Verified that_ closing all tabs when I have a tab other than the `index`'th tab selected _works as expected_
* _Verified that_ closing tabs to the right when I have the `index`'th tab selected _works as expected_
* _Verified that_ closing tabs to the right when I have a tab other than the `index`'th tab selected _works as expected_
- This one has one caveat: for whatever reason, if you run this action when the tab that's currently focused is _before_ the `index` param, then the tabs will expand to fill the entire width of the tab row, until you mouse over them. Probably has something to do with tabs not resizing down until there's a mouse exit event.
I've typed this up way too many times now. I'm sticking this comment in Niksa.md, and if it's ever an insufficient explanation of the differences, we can elaborate.

## 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` | 
`false` |

## 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.
## PR Checklist
* [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.
Closes#2349
## Summary of the Pull Request
Adds a pair of `ShortcutAction`s for setting the tab color.
* `setTabColor`: This changes the color of the current tab to the provided color, or can be used to clear the color.
* `openTabColorPicker`: This keybinding immediately activates the tab color picker for the currently focused tab.

## 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?

## Summary of the Pull Request
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
