Feature Request: Vertical Display of Editor Area Texts (Vertical Texts)

[UltimatePea]

Some programming language prefer to display texts vertically, especially Asian programming languages, e.g. wenyan. And several IDEs support vertical editing, (see here). It would be nice for VSCode to support vertical editing.

A prototype implementation would be adding the following css to the Editor Area as suggested here

writing-mode: vertical-rl;
text-orientation: upright;

Visual effect of displaying vertical texts:
