I've marked this as upstream because I think this is much better done in VSCode itself. I don't think we can do a satisfying job ourselves (for instance, making it work with mouse clicks is impossible, and to get a cursor over there, we'd actually have to add that whitespace to the document, since VSCode doesn't actually have virtual space, which would likely cause problems or at least VERY significant complexity).
