This commit builds directly on the changes made in #13677 and fixes:
* TSF resetting to AlphaNumeric ("ASCII") input mode when pressing enter
* Vietnamese IME not composing a new word after pressing whitespace, etc.
Closes#11479Closes#13398
## Validation Steps Performed
* Japanese IME (Full-Width Katakana)
Typing "saitama" produces "サイタマ" ✅
* Korean IME
Typing "gksrmf" produces "한글" ✅
* Vietnamese IME
Typing "xin chaof" produces "xin chào" ✅
* Emoji Picker (Win+.)
✅
While working on #13398 I felt that `TSFInputControl` wasn't up to sniff.
This commit is a minor cleanup of the class:
* default member initializers
* Simplified use of STL classes which already perform boundary checks
* Correctly check text buffer emptiness in `_SendAndClearText`
* Track selection range as mandated by the API

Modified the scope of input control, it used to be `Text`, now it is
`AlphanumericHalfWidth`. This input scope actually accepts any
characters, but English characters are preferred, and the soft keyboard
also displays English by default.
This should improve user friendliness for users using composition mode
input methods.
As a user who uses the composition mode input method, in applications
like windows terminal that should usually be input in English, it is
always required to manually switch to English mode by pressing Shift
before entering commands.
One keystroke is not a problem, but often for some reason there is no or
no successful switching, and additional more keystrokes are required to
clear the wrong input.
The input method that comes with windows will automatically switch to
English mode for a few programs such as conhost, but windows terminal is
not in this list.
This change should have no negative impact. Even if someone does tend to
use a shell oriented towards composition characters or non-alpha
letters, there should also were more users who in the same language are
more inclined to English characters shells, for example, cmd,
powershell, bash that comes with windows.
If there's any reason to have to keep the Text inputScope, maybe making
this setting customizable via `settings.json` would be a good idea, but
I don't see the need to do this, `AlphanumericHalfWidth` is perfect.
Closes#12731
#4015 requires sweeping changes in order to allow a migration of our buffer
coordinates from `int16_t` to `int32_t`. This commit reduces the size of
future commits by using type inference wherever possible, dropping the
need to manually adjust types throughout the project later.
As an added bonus this commit standardizes the alignment of cv qualifiers
to be always left of the type (e.g. `const T&` instead of `T const&`).
The migration to type inference with `auto` was mostly done
using JetBrains Resharper with some manual intervention and the
standardization of cv qualifier alignment using clang-format 14.

## Validation Steps Performed
* Tests pass ✅
This commit makes the following changes to `til::point/size/rectangle`
for the following reasons:
* Rename `rectangle` into `rect`
This will make the naming consistent with a later `small_rect` struct
as well as the existing Win32 POINT/SIZE/RECT structs.
* Standardizes til wrappers on `int32_t` instead of `ptrdiff_t`
Provides a consistent behavior between x86 and x64, preventing accidental
errors on x86, as it's less rigorously tested than x64. Additionally it
improves interop with MIDL3 which only supports fixed width integer types.
* Standardizes til wrappers on throwing `gsl::narrow_error`
Makes the behavior of our code more consistent.
* Makes all eligible functions `constexpr`
Because why not.
* Removes implicit constructors and conversion operators
This is a complex and controversial topic. My reasons are: You can't Ctrl+F
for an implicit conversion. This breaks most non-IDE engines, like the one on
GitHub or those we have internally at MS. This is important for me as these
implicit conversion operators aren't cost free. Narrowing integers itself,
as well as the boundary checks that need to be done have a certain,
fixed overhead each time. Additionally the lack of noexcept prevents
many advanced compiler optimizations. Removing their use entirely
drops conhost's code segment size by around ~6.5%.

It's 92 files with one-line changes, don't be scared.
As VS 2022 doesn't seem to store files with UTF-8 BOM as often anymore, we've
been getting more and more pull requests which seemingly randomly change files.
This cleans the situation up by removing the BOM from all files that have one.
Additionally, `Host.Tests.Feature.rc` was converted from UTF-16 to UTF-8.
1. The TSFInputControl may get a layout event after it has been removed
from service (and no longer has a XAML tree)
* Two fixes:
* first, guard the layour updater from accessing detached xaml
objects
* second, shut down all pending throttled functions during close
(not destruction!¹)
2. The TermControlAutomationPeer may be destructed before its events
fire.
3. The TermControlAutomationPeer may receive a notification after it has
been detached from XAML (and therefore has no dispatcher).
¹ Close happens before the control is removed from the XAML tree;
destruction happens some time later. We must detach all UI-bound events
in Close so that they don't fire between when we detach and when we
destruct.

**BE NOT AFRAID**. I know that there's 107 files in this PR, but almost
all of it is just find/replacing `TerminalControl` with `Control`.
This is the start of the work to move TermControl into multiple pieces,
for #5000. The PR starts this work by:
* Splits `TerminalControl` into separate lib and dll projects. We'll
want control tests in the future, and for that, we'll need a lib.
* Moves `ICoreSettings` back into the `Microsoft.Terminal.Core`
namespace. We'll have other types in there soon too.
* I could not tell you why this works suddenly. New VS versions? New
cppwinrt version? Maybe we're just better at dealing with mdmerge
bugs these days.
* RENAMES `Microsoft.Terminal.TerminalControl` to
`Microsoft.Terminal.Control`. This touches pretty much every file in
the sln. Sorry about that (not sorry).
An upcoming PR will move much of the logic in TermControl into a new
`ControlCore` class that we'll add in `Microsoft.Terminal.Core`.
`ControlCore` will then be unittest-able in the
`UnitTests_TerminalCore`, which will help prevent regressions like #9455
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
You're really gonna want to clean the sln first, then merge this into
your branch, then rebuild. It's very likely that old winmds will get
left behind. If you see something like
```
Error MDM2007 Cannot create type
Microsoft.Terminal.TerminalControl.KeyModifiers in read-only metadata
file Microsoft.Terminal.TerminalControl.
```
then that's what happened to you.
## Summary of the Pull Request
Move `ICoreSettings` and `IControlSettings` from the TerminalSettings project to the TerminalCore and TerminalControl projects respectively. Also entirely removes the TerminalSettings project.
The purpose of these interfaces is unchanged. `ICoreSettings` is used to instantiate a terminal. `IControlSettings` (which requires an `ICoreSettings`) is used to instantiate a UWP terminal control.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
A lot of the work here was having to deal with winmd files across all of these projects. The TerminalCore project now outputs a Microsoft.Terminal.TerminalControl.winmd. Some magic happens in TerminalControl.vcxproj to get this to work properly.
## Validation Steps Performed
Deployed Windows Terminal and opened a few new tabs.
This PR fixes a couple of issues with TSFInputControl alignment:
1. The emoji picker IME in particular would show up overlapping the
current buffer row because I stupidly didn't realize that
`TextBlock.ActualHeight` is 0 right after initialization and before
it has any text. So, the emoji picker will show up on the bottom of
the 0 height TextBlock, which overlaps the current buffer row. This
isn't a problem with CJK because inputting text _causes_ the IME to
show up, so by the time the IME shows up, the TextBlock has text and
accordingly has a height.
2. It turns out the emoji picker IME doesn't follow the `TextBlock`
bottom, unlike Chinese and Japanese IME, so if a user were to compose
near the edge of the screen and let the `TextBlock` start line
wrapping, the emoji IME doesn't follow the bottom of the `TextBlock`
as it grows. This means that the `TextBlock` position doesn't update
in the middle of composition, and the `LayoutRequested` event that it
fires at the beginning of composition is the only chance we get to
tell the emoji IME where to place itself. It turns out when we reset
`TextBlock.Text`, the ActualHeight doesn't get immediately reset back
to the min size. So if a user were to bring up the emoji IME before
`ActualHeight` is reset, the IME will show up way below the current
buffer row.
3. We don't currently `TryRedrawCanvas` when the window position changes
(resizing, dragging the window around), so sometimes dragging or
resizing the Terminal doesn't update the position of the IME. Ideally
it should be listening to some "window position changed" event, but
alas we don't have that and it would be much harder than this
incoming fix. We'll just track the window bounds as part of
`TryRedrawCanvas` and redraw if it changes. For the most part, this
will allow the IME to update to where the new window position is, but
it'll only be called if we receive a `LayoutRequested` event.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
**WAS:**
- We were using implicit DPI scaling on the `ID2D1RenderTarget` and running all of our processing in DIPs (Device-Independent Pixels). That's all well and good for getting things bootstrapped quickly, but it leaves the actual scaling of the draw commands up to the discretion of the rendering target.
- When we don't get to explicitly choose exactly how many pixels tall/wide and our X/Y placement perfectly, the nature of floating point multiplication and division required to do the presentation can cause us to drift off slightly out of our control depending on what the final display resolution actually is.
- Differential drawing cannot work unless we can know the exact integer pixels that need to be copied/moved/preserved/replaced between frames to give to the `IDXGISwapChain1::Present1` method. If things spill into fractional pixels or the sizes of rows/columns vary as they are rounded up and down implicitly, then we cannot do the differential rendering.
**NOW:**
- When deciding on a font, the `DxEngine` will take the scale factor into account and adjust the proposed height of the requested font. Then the remainder of the existing code that adjusts the baseline and integer-ifies each character cell will run naturally from there. That code already works correctly to align the height at normal DPI and scale out the font heights and advances to take an exact integer of pixels.
- `TermControl` has to use the scale now, in some places, and stop scaling in other places. This has to do with how the target's nature used to be implicit and is now explicit. For instance, determining where the cursor click hits must be scaled now. And determining the pixel size of the display canvas must no longer be scaled.
- `DxEngine` will no longer attempt to scale the invalid regions per my attempts in #5185 because the cell size is scaled. So it should work the same as at 96 DPI.
- The block is removed from the `DxEngine` that was causing a full invalidate on every frame at High DPI.
- A TODO was removed from `TermControl` that was invalidating everything when the DPI changed because the underlying renderer will already do that.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR will allow TSFInputControl to redraw its Canvas and TextBlock in response to when the Terminal cursor position updates. This will fix the issue where during Korean composition, the first symbol of the next composition will appear on top of the previous composed character. Since the Terminal Cursor updates a lot, I've added some checks to see if the TSFInputControl really needs to redraw. This will also decrease the number of actual redraws since we receive a bunch of `LayoutRequested` events when there's no difference between them.

## Validation Steps Performed
Startup, teardown, CJK IME gibberish testing, making sure the IME block shows up in the right place.
This PR has evolved to encapsulate two related fixes that I can't really
untie anymore.
#2455 - Duplicating a tab that doesn't exist anymore
This was the bug I was originally fixing in #4429.
When the user tries to `duplicateTab` with a profile that doesn't exist
anymore (like might happen after a settings reload), don't crash.
As I was going about adding tests for this, got blocked by the fact that
the Terminal couldn't open _any_ panes while the `TerminalPage` was size
0x0. This had two theoretical solutions:
* Fake the `TerminalPage` into thinking it had a real size in the test -
probably possible, though I'm unsure how it would work in practice.
* Change `Pane`s to not require an `ActualWidth`, `ActualHeight` on
initialization.
Fortuately, the second option was something else that was already on my
backlog of bugs.
#4618 - `wt` command-line can't consistently parse more than one arg
Presently, the Terminal just arbitrarily dispatches a bunch of handlers
to try and handle all the commands provided on the commandline. That's
lead to a bunch of reports that not all the commands will always get
executed, nor will they all get executed in the same order.
This PR also changes the `TerminalPage` to be able to dispatch all the
commands sequentially, all at once in the startup. No longer will there
be a hot second where the commands seem to execute themselves in from of
the user - they'll all happen behind the scenes on startup.
This involved a couple other changes areound the `TerminalPage`
* I had to make sure that panes could be opened at a 0x0 size. Now they
use a star sizing based off the percentage of the parent they're
supposed to consume, so that when the parent _does_ get laid out,
they'll take the appropriate size of that parent.
* I had to do some math ahead of time to try and calculate what a
`SplitState::Automatic` would be evaluated as, despite the fact that
we don't actually know how big the pane will be.
* I had to ensure that `focus-tab` commands appropriately mark a single
tab as focused while we're in startup, without roundtripping to the
Dispatcher thread and back
## References

helpful for this PR.
## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
`CascadiaSettings::BuildSettings` can throw if the GUID doesn't exist.
This wraps those calls up with a try/catch.
It also adds a couple tests - a few `SettingsTests` for try/catching
this state. It also adds a XAML-y test in `TabTests` that creates a
`TerminalPage` and then performs som UI-like actions on it. This test
required a minor change to how we generate the new tab dropdown - in the
tests, `Application::Current()` is _not_ a `TerminalApp::App`, so it
doesn't have a `Logic()` to query. So wrap that in a try/catch as well.
While working on these tests, I found that we'd crash pretty agressively
for mysterious reasons if the TestHostApp became focused while the test
was running. This was due to a call in
`TSFInputControl::NotifyFocusEnter` that would callback to
`TSFInputControl::_layoutRequested`, which would crash on setting the
`MaxSize` of the canvas to a negative value. This PR includes a hotfix
for that bug as well.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR fixes an out of bounds access when deleting composition during Chinese IME. What's happening is that we're receiving a CompositionCompleted before receiving the TextUpdate to tell us to delete the last character in the composition. This creates two problems for us:
1. The final character gets sent to the Terminal when it should have been deleted.
2. `_activeTextStart` gets set to `_inputBuffer.length()` when sending the character to the terminal, so when the `TextUpdate` comes right after the `CompositionCompleted` event, `_activeTextStart` is out of sync.
This PR fixes the second issue, by updating `_activeTextStart` during a `TextUpdate` in case we run into this issue.
The first issue is trickier to resolve since we assume that if the text server api tells us a composition is completed, we should send what we have. It'll be tracked here: #5110.
At the very least, this PR will let users continue to type in Chinese IME without it breaking, but it will still be annoying to see the first letter of your composition reappear after deleting it.

## Summary of the Pull Request
This PR turns on TextWrapping on `TSFInputControl::TextBlock`. Once the TextBlock hits the end of the Terminal window, it will wrap downwards, but the TextBlock will have as much width as it had when composition started. Unfortunately, this means if composition starts right at the end of the Terminal with enough width for just one character, there will be a vertical line of characters down the right side of the Terminal 😅. It's definitely not ideal, and I imagine this won't be the last time we visit this issue, but for now users can see what they're typing.

## Summary of the Pull Request
I originally thought that setting `TSFInputControl::_editContext.InputPaneDisplayPolicy` to be Automatic would allow the InputPanel to show and hide automatically when `TSFInputControl` gains and loses focus. It doesn't seem to behave that way, so we'll show the InputPanel manually.
I'll show the panel during `PointerPressedHandler` and during `GotFocusHandler`. A user will have the on-screen keyboard pop up when getting focus, but if they close the keyboard, they can simply re-tap on the terminal to bring it back up.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Emoji composition was only being shown one letter at a time. This is because of the way I expected `CoreTextTextUpdatingEventArgs.Range` to be provided to TSFInputControl during composition (for Chinese/Japanese IME). Emoji IME composition gives the `StartCaretPosition` as the same as `EndCaretPosition`, unlike how for Chinese/Japanese IME, `StartCaretPosition` is usually the start of the composition and `EndCaretPosition` is the latest character in the composition. The solution is to change the `_inputBuffer.substr()` call to simply grab all of the buffer starting from `_activeTextStart`. This way I can ensure that I grab all of the "active text", instead of trusting the given `args.Range` to tell me the active text.

## Summary of the Pull Request
Korean IME was not working correctly due to way we were clearing the input buffer inside of `TSFInputControl`. We wanted to clear our input buffer and tell TSF to clear its input buffer as well when we receive a `CompositionCompleted` event. This works fine in some IME languages such as Chinese and Japanese. However, Korean IME composes characters differently in such a way where we can't tell TSF to clear their buffer during a `CompositionCompleted` event because it would clear the character that triggered the `CompositionCompleted` event in the first place.
The solution in this PR is to keep our `_inputBuffer` intact until the user presses <kbd>Enter</kbd> or <kbd>Esc</kbd>, in which case we clear our buffer and the TSF buffer. I've chosen these two keys because it seems to make sense to clear the buffer after text is sent to the terminal with <kbd>Enter</kbd>, and <kbd>Esc</kbd> usually means to cancel a current composition anyway.
This means we need to keep track of our last known "Composition Start Point", which is represented by `_activeTextStart`. Whenever we complete a composition, we'll send the portion of the input buffer between `_activeTextStart` and the end of the input buffer to the terminal. Then, we'll update `_activeTextStart` to be the end of the input buffer so that the next time we send text to the terminal, we'll only send the portion of our buffer that's "active".

## Summary of the Pull Request
Currently, while in IME mode, selections with the Emoji/Kaomoji/Symbol Picker (which is brought up with <kbd>win+.</kbd>) are not displayed until the user starts a new composition. This is due to the fact that we hide the TextBlock when we receive a CompositionCompleted event, and we only show the TextBlock when we receive a CompositionStarted event. Input from the picker does not count as a composition, so we were never showing the text box, even if the symbols were thrown into the inputBuffer. In addition, we weren't receiving CompositionStarted events when we expected to.
We should be showing the TextBlock when we receive _any_ text, so we should make the TextBlock visible inside of `TextUpdatingHandler`. Furthermore, some really helpful discussion in #3745 around wrapping the `NotifyTextChanged` call with a `NotifyFocusLeave` and a `NotifyFocusEnter` allowed the control to much more consistently determine when a CompositionStarted and a CompositionEnded.
I've also went around and replaced casts with saturating casts, and have removed the line that sets the `textBlock.Width()` so that it would automatically set its width. This resolves the issue where while composing a sentence, the textBlock would be too small to contain all the text, so it would be cut off, but the composition is still valid and still able to continue.

## Validation Steps Performed
Validated through manual terminal teardown within and without the debugger, given a crazy number of panes and tabs.
The first argument to `NotifyTextChanged` incorrectly was `[0,0]`
instead of the length of the text to be removed from the
`CoreTextEditContext`.
Best source of documentation for `NotifyTextChanged`:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/input/custom-text-input#overriding-text-updates
FYI @DHowett-MSFT (just in case): C++/WinRT uses `winrt::param::hstring`
for string parameters which intelligently borrows strings. As such you
can simply pass a `std::wstring` to most WinRT methods without the need
of having to allocate an intermediate `hstring`. 🙂
## Validation Steps Performed

the issue doesn't happen anymore.
Closes#3645Closes#3706Closes#3745
TerminalControl doesn't use any of the built in text input and edit
controls provided by XAML for text input, which means TermianlControl
needs to communicate with the Text Services Framework (TSF) in order to
provide Input Method Editor (IME) support. Just like the rest of
Terminal we get to take advantage of newer APIs (Windows.UI.Text.Core)
namespace to provide support vs. the old TSF 1.0.
Windows.UI.Text.Core handles communication between a text edit control
and the text services primarily through a CoreTextEditContext object.
This change introduces a new UserControl TSFInputControl which is a
custom EditControl similar to the CustomEditControl sample[1].
TSFInputControl is similar (overlay with IME text) to how old console
(conimeinfo) handled IME.
# Details
TSFInputControl is a Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.UserControl
TSFInputControl contains a Canvas control for absolution positioning a
TextBlock control within its containing control (TerminalControl).
The TextBlock control is used for displaying candidate text from the
IME. When the user makes a choice in the IME the TextBlock is cleared
and the text is written to the Terminal buffer like normal text.
TSFInputControl creates an instance of the CoreTextEditContext and
attaches appropriate event handlers to CoreTextEditContext in order to
interact with the IME.
A good write-up on how to interact with CoreTextEditContext can be found
here[2].
## Text Updates
Text updates from the IME come in on the TextUpdating event handler,
text updates are stored in an internal buffer (_inputBuffer).
## Completed Text
Once a user selects a text in the IME, the CompositionCompleted handler
is invoked. The input buffer (_inputBuffer) is written to the Terminal
buffer, _inputBuffer is cleared and Canvas and TextBlock controls are
hidden until the user starts a composition session again.
## Positioning
Telling the IME where to properly position itself was the hardest part
of this change. The IME expects to know it's location in screen
coordinates as supposed to client coordinates. This is pretty easy if
you are a pure UWP, but since we are hosted inside a XAMLIsland the
client to screen coordinate translation is a little harder.
### Calculating Screen Coordinates
1. Obtaining the Window position in Screen coordinates.
2. Determining the Client coordinate of the cursor.
3. Converting the Client coordinate of the cursor to Screen coordinates.
4. Offsetting the X and Y coordinate of the cursor by the position of
the TerminalControl within the window (tabs if present, margins, etc..).
5. Applying any scale factor of the display.
Once we have the right position in screen coordinates, this is supplied
in the LayoutBounds of the CoreTextLayoutRequestedEventArgs which lets
the IME know where to position itself on the Screen.
## Font Information/Cursor/Writing to Terminal
3 events were added to the TSFInputControl to create a loosely-coupled
implementation between the TerminalControl and the TSFInputControl.
These events are used for obtaining Font information from the
TerminalControl, getting the Cursor position and writing to the terminal
buffer.
## Known Issues
- Width of TextBlock is hardcoded to 200 pixels and most likely should
adjust to the available width of the current input line on the console
(#3640)
- Entering text in the middle of an existing set of text has TextBlock
render under existing text. Current Console behavior here isn't good
experience either (writes over text)
- Text input at edges of window is clipped versus wrapping around to
next line. This isn't any worse than the original command line, but
Terminal should be better (#3657)
## Future Considerations
Ideally, we'd be able to interact with the console buffer directly and
replace characters as the user types.
## Validation
General steps to try functionality
- Open Console
- Switch to Simplified Chinese (Shortcut: Windows+Spacebar)
- Switch to Chinese mode on language bar
Scenarios validated:
- As user types unformatted candidates appear on command line and IME
renders in correct position under unformatted characters.
- User can dismiss IME and text doesn't appear on command line
- Switch back to English mode, functions like normal
- New tab has proper behavior
- Switching between tabs has proper behavior
- Switching away from Terminal Window with IME present causes IME to
disappear
