Screencast Mode only settings

[karbassi]

It would be amazing to be able to set "screencast mode"-only settings.

For example, my editor.fontSize is set to 16, but when I'm presenting (in person or over video), I'd like the font size to be 20.

Since the config supposes [language] support, would it be possible to do something like the following?

{

  "editor.fontSize": 16,
  "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 16,

  "[screencast]": {
    "terminal.integrated.fontSize": 20,
    "editor.fontSize": 20
  }
 
}

This would open up to more configuration options such as setting the theme, font family, etc.

I support this!

When screencasting on a projector dark mode isn't very good. But in a video it's fine.
So the ability to go into screencast mode using different setting profiles would be nice.

This should also support extension settings. Cause you might want to turn off GitLens etc when screencasting

One could potentially use the upcoming new Profiles feature to achieve this.
