Is indented word wrap in jupyter lab possible?

[tbrodbeck]

Jupyterlab is doing soft wrap like this (with the setting "lineWrap": "on"):

But I would prefer something like this, like I have it in all my other text editors (emacs, intellij, vim...):

Is this possible? :)

+1000. The most essential feature for all text editors.

We could make this happen for JupyterLab 3.x (using CodeMirror5 editor - demo) and for JupyterLab 4.0 (using CodeMirror 6 editor - discussion). Two questions:

• should this be a new default (I think yes)?
• should there be an option to toggle it on/off (I think yes)?
