Virtual Space is not implemented.

This is a much needed productivity option that has been available in Visual Studio and other editors for many years.

See also the column select issue that requires it:
#5402

Addition from @hediet:

This is (still) the current behavior of VS Code. Only text that exists in the text buffer is selected:

However, the column selection mode should support rectangular selection like this (adding whitespace on demand):

This would fix #5940 (which is just about copy&pasting such blocks) and #115559.

I'm not sure we need a new issue for this if it's just part of #5402. Looks like there's lots of history there already.

Completely fixing #5402 requires this, but this can be implemented without the changes to column selection.

+1 for this feature. Virtual space is a must-have for me. I really like the editor otherwise, but until this is in I'll have to keep using Visual Studio. I hope it makes it out of the Backlog soon!

Still no virt space or am I missing something?
