Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've set my editor.wordWrap setting, but I found out that my gq operations don't honor this.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the &textwidth setting from Vim to be synced with editor.wordWrap. I don't see why they should be seperate. It feels like Vim lacks integration with VSCode here.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the gq operation and the handling of Vim's &textwidth and VS Code's editor.wordWrap settings; done means gq uses the VS Code word-wrap value consistently.
