Terminal: Ability to disable line wrapping in Windows Terminal

[CHerSun]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Currently Windows Terminal wraps lines by default. It would be great to give an option (in settings json) or a shortcut to toggle line wrapping.

Why? One of the reasons are tables printed in console, like "oc get all" for OpenShift. Table lines get wrapped, sometimes more than once - this makes table unreadable (example from my mini cluster, on normal cluster all the tables would be much longer):

Without line wrapping last table would be perfectly readable.

Another example - Linux messages log. 1 message per line would be perfect, but with line wrapping output becomes a mess.

I saw several closed issues on this, but none of them had clear reason why this feature is requested. Like, #6378 , #1860,

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

How? I don't know internal structure of Windows terminal, but I suspect it should be possible to make width larger than window width and use something like a viewport with horizontal scrollbar.

From configuration point of view - it could be one of the options in settings (i.e. separate profile with wrapping disabled), or like this is done in VScode - a shortcut:

Thanks for the request! This is one of the things we're absolutely not going to do -- it's been discussed in a couple different places across the repository, but it all comes back to the same problem: we're not going to add a horizontal scroll bar, because no terminal anywhere _has_ a horizontal scroll bar. The windows console host caused so much trouble by allowing the text buffer to be wider than the actual screen.
