[Run][New Plugin] Windows Terminal: show "profiles" as entries in results

[trajano]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Detect Windows Terminal is set up and add the "profiles" as entries in Powershell Run.

So if I type in "Windows Powershell" it would show as an option to open up the profile in Windows Terminal.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

@trajano can you clarify? not 100% familiar with WT profiles

Here is the documentation for it https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/profile-settings#dropdown-settings

Specifically I think what we are looking for is "name", the UUID mapping and the icon.

So i sync'ed with Terminal. and we think this is a great idea. I think there are a few things that would need to do.

1. Create a plugin for terminal that some how extends / tweaks the search results.
2. tweak how plugins interact with final results to enable this 'enhancement' style query
3. figure out a way to get the profile data from Terminal itself. Maybe via an extension point.

@DHowett for vis.

A few months ago I started a POC that is left abandoned for query Terminal profiles in PowerToys Run.
It support both Terminal and Terminal Preview and it's based on settings.json file.

@crutkas any thought on my previous post? I can review and cleanup the code and create a draft PR if we are fine with retrieving terminal profiles from settings JSON. This could be replaced with another implementation in future.

@davidegiacometti I know I said that many times, but I will say it hundred times more, if you don't do it: Add the In progress label and assign yourself to an issue if you start working on the issue. Please just do it. This help maintaining this repository. And if you don't want to, just write something like:

@Aaron-Junker I'm now working on this

and you're good to go. (You can even add this as a saved reply if you want).

I know you said that here and it should have been added before here, but it's not just about this issue.

I really appreciate your contributions, but this is just a little detail you have to do, please.

A Terminal profile icon could be a resource inside Terminal package or an image file.
Since retrieve icons from the package could be tricky, for the sake of simplicity I would use plugin icon or Terminal icon.

Let's vote:

• Plugin icon: 🎉
• Terminal icon: 🚀
