Make the "hide profile from dropdown" profile setting more easily discoverable

[Vap0r1ze]

Description of the new feature

I rarely open my Windows Terminal settings, but when I do it's very frequently to edit what profiles are in the dropdown. Almost everytime I'm like scanning the profile settings looking for a "Show" option or "Enabled/Disabled" option. Eventually the lengthy "Hide profile from dropdown" catches my eye, but it always takes a while because it's at the bottom of all the other appearence options.

Mentally I consider that option as like one of the "main" options of not the main option, and I think it should be a little more easy to change at just a glance.

Proposed technical implementation details

A few ideas, ideally could implement all of them:

• A clickable toggle button that switches between an Eye icon and a, placed either within the profile's sidebar row or next to the Profile Settings page title.
• Move the setting to the top of the settings list.
• Rename to just "Hide profile" so it can be more easily while skimming.
• (Way more work) Adding icons to all of the profile settings to aid skimming, this alone could help but doing the above three is better IMO.

FWIW - this is perhaps a bit more off the beaten track, but if you want tighter control over the content of your dropdown then the New Tab Menu section will give it to you. Removing the "remaining profiles" entry or putting it into a folder will prevent Terminal from showing any profiles you have not selected.

@DHowett I'll say that is a pretty decent alternative, but I do like how the regular profile system auto-detects new installed shells and I really prefer the regular system for ease. Tbh the feature request is all about easy, accessibility, & UX

You're totally right. I don't mean that in an "I am a large language model" sort of way (ew).

There's a few things in this bucket that I think we need to resolve, and unfortunately I feel like they're all vaguely the same thing. Profile Ordering and Management.

I'm leaving this brain dump here and assigning myself as a signpost to do a better job cleaning it up later.

• Profile Index is based on order in the literal profile list, minus hidden profiles
  • We have some other bugs about this; I should go find them.
  • Maybe we should construct the NTM first, and then go through it afterwards and assign the profiles an imputed index.
    • There are maybe 3 people in the world (I hope-guess) that both use NTM customization and have memorized the number associated with each profile. If we do this, we break them.
• There are two ways to hide profiles, either in newTabMenu by omission only or in the profile itself.
  • We cannot build a feature on newTabMenu alone, because that ignores the reality that we have Command Palette and Jump List support. So, hidden needs to remain. It is also the way that Visual Studio (et al) can customize how their applications appear without creating a profile for the user to see/be annoyed with (like VSDebugConsole).
• We're working on redesigning the settings UI and are probably making profiles a top-level page rather than making each one a navigation item.
  • This gives us a better place to put an eyeball button, and reordering handles.
