There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nice idea! Could you please implement this behind a setting, maybe something like editor.wrapOnEscapedLineFeeds or maybe you have a better idea for a name.

Goal
This PR add soft-wrapping on literal
\nin addition to viewport and column based limitation wheneditor.wrapOnEscapedLineFeedsis enabled.So this JSON declaration
would be shown as
previous failed attempts:
There are currently no extension API that would allow a language-specific extension to hint the editor into soft-wrapping at specific offset. So I create a test extension that would inject `` and `\n` in the editor view (using `InlayHints` and `createTextEditorDecorationType`) but none of them worked and were rendered inline
So the only way was to add the wrapping detection in the
createLineBreaksmethod of theMonospaceLineBreaksComputerFactory
