Is there a way I can input text on vertical direction automatically？

Not that I know of.

Just in case: This can be done by rotating the (text) layer 90 degrees (or 270, depending) after you’ve created the text.

  • create text
  • use shift-r (or the icon) to switch to rotate tool: rotate text
  • select text layer
  • re-adjust/place text using the move tool (m)

Is this the right click in text tool and vertical text? No great problem to enable as required, however the text orientation is a tool property that can be saved.

Set Gimp up the way you want it to start. That includes font, size, orientation.

Then: Edit → Preferences → Tool Options, Untick Save tool options on exit. Click on Save Tool Options Now
and: Edit → Preferences → Input Devices, Untick Save input Device Settings on exit. Click on Save Input Device Settings Now
Ok Preference.

Gimp restarts with those settings.

Just got it into the imgur 60 second limit: https://i.imgur.com/MMpgqXe.mp4
