Re: [clreq] Cursor movement in vertical text (#693)

Ideally, the effect of the arrow keys should be determined by the user’s preferences/settings for “direction,” and the layout engine or UI interaction should adhere to these settings.

- If the user prefers the arrow key behavior to match physical directions, then in vertical text interactions, the up/down keys correspond to the inline direction, while the left/right keys correspond to the block direction.
- For the logical direction preference, up/down keys correspond to the block direction, while left/right keys correspond to the inline direction.

The layout engine or UI should not independently determine the effect of the arrow keys.
