It seems that the position is highlighted in the scroll bar, but when I navigate to that area I cannot find the blinking cursor?

I'm trying to find a column position in an single-line XML document with no line breaks

Currently, if you try to move to (let's say) column 40 in a line that is 20 characters in length, the cursor is just moved to the end of line.

Could you please add a hotkey or a option that spaces are added until the line has enough length to move the cursor to the user-selected position? Like:

if (len(line) > selected_position):
   move_to_end_of_line
   add "selected_position-len(line)" spaces
   move cursor to selected_position

This way I could use the extension for ASM programming, where comments are typically added in column 35 or 40 next to the instructions, like:

    call Byte2ASCII_Hex           ; Convert A to Hex string
    ld hl, Byte2ASCII_output      ; HL points to String
 
    ld a, (hl)
    rst 16                        ; Print first Hex value
    inc hl                        ; Next char
    ld a, (hl)
    rst 16                        ; Print second Hex value

This way commends could be added easily after typing an instruction with hotkey + 40(enter) and then typing ';' plus the comment, without requiring to use the mouse or write several spaces to reach the desired column.

Thanks!
