Document word wrap indicators #10306

Description

@ntrogh

Product change

The editor can show an opt-in indicator at the wrapping column of each soft-wrapped line. The editor.wordWrapIndicator setting is off by default and only has an effect when word wrapping is enabled. Themes can customize editorWordWrapIndicator.foreground.

Why the docs need an update

docs/editing/codebasics.md explains how to enable word wrapping but does not explain how to distinguish a soft wrap from a real line break.

Suggested documentation

  • docs/editing/codebasics.md: Add the word wrap indicator setting, its dependency on word wrapping, its default, and the theme color.

Acceptance criteria

  • The word wrap documentation explains how to enable the indicator.
  • The setting default, dependency, and theme color are accurate.
