Improved column selection (Alt+select)
The column selection implemented in #1515 is a start, but it's a bit awkward and unintuitive compared to other editors. With the following editors or IDEs, you can create a column selection starting from where the mouse is clicked/dragged: - Atom (with Sublime Style Column Selection) - Eclipse - Notepad++ - Programmer's Notepad - Sublime - Visual Studio 2015 At least Eclipse, Programmer's Notepad, and VS2015 support virtual whitespace as well, creating a complete square/rectangle. Some of them also don't show multiple cursors, which I think looks better. Other users were also expecting this behaviour (see [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/1515#issuecomment-199464559) and [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/1515#issuecomment-205910037)).
