Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
InitialPosition follows the same style as LaunchSize, with a number box for the x coordinate and a number box for the y coordinate. When there is no value for either of these coordinates, the respective number box is empty (and displays the text Undefined).

Available dictionaries could cover words not in the dictionary
This includes both expected items (2856) from .github/actions/spelling/expect/alphabet.txt .github/actions/spelling/expect/expect.txt .github/actions/spelling/expect/web.txt and unrecognized words (2)
cspell:filetypes/filetypes.txt (337) covers 36 of them cspell:django/django.txt (2342) covers 23 of them cspell:html/html.txt (542) covers 22 of them cspell:aws/aws.txt (1485) covers 20 of them cspell:fullstack/fullstack.txt (181) covers 19 of them
Consider adding them using (in .github/workflows/spelling2.yml):
with:
extra_dictionaries:
cspell:filetypes/filetypes.txt
cspell:django/django.txt
cspell:html/html.txt
cspell:aws/aws.txt
cspell:fullstack/fullstack.txt
To stop checking additional dictionaries, add:
with:
check_extra_dictionaries: ''

By default the command suggestion will generate a file named based on your commit. That's generally ok as long as you add the file to your commit. Someone can reorganize it later.
:warning: The command is written for posix shells. If it doesn't work for you, you can manually add (one word per line) / remove items to expect.txt and the excludes.txt files.
If the listed items are:
- ... misspelled, then please correct them instead of using the command.
- ... names, please add them to
.github/actions/spelling/allow/names.txt. - ... APIs, you can add them to a file in
.github/actions/spelling/allow/. - ... just things you're using, please add them to an appropriate file in
.github/actions/spelling/expect/. - ... tokens you only need in one place and shouldn't generally be used, you can add an item in an appropriate file in
.github/actions/spelling/patterns/.
See the README.md in each directory for more information.
:microscope: You can test your commits without appending to a PR by creating a new branch with that extra change and pushing it to your fork. The check-spelling action will run in response to your push -- it doesn't require an open pull request. By using such a branch, you can limit the number of typos your peers see you make. :wink:

Should we put Center on Launch inside the expander for position? it's categorically related
Consensus from discussion:
- Remove
CenterOnLaunchas a setting in the UI, add it as an enum option toLaunchModeand the VM can handle the backend of mapping that enum to our internalCenterOnLaunch - Combine the
LaunchModecombo box and theLaunchPositionnumber boxes into one expander
Follow up in a future PR:
- Add a button
Use current positionthat will populate the fields according to the Terminal's current position
(Given the consensus opinion, How do you propose to have "centered focus mode" as a launch mode in the drop-down?)
How do you propose to have "centered focus mode" as a launch mode in the drop-down?
Okay fine, we need "Centered focus mode" in there too. But "Centered Maximized*" seemed viable to leave out. Technically yea you can have it launch centered (and maximize itself), and then restore down to centered. This design occludes that particular combination of settings for presenting the user something more sensible.
If we're dead set on including that as a separate toggle, I'd instead propose:
A set of controls under the Launch Positioning expander.
- The "launch mode" dropdown
- Positioning radio buttons
- Position manually
- An X/Y input
- The "use current position" button
- An X/Y input
- Use system default
- Position manually
- A toggle for "center on launch
Heck, it doesn't even need to be one expando then. Could be three:
- mode
- position (with the system default checkbox, ala the "desktopBackground" checkbox in the profile appearance page, and eventually the "use current pos" button)
- center on launch
Maybe we hoped on the "add center to the dropdown" crazy idea train too fast. <discuss more>
