This is a great option for comments. If you like to write comments, and like them to all line up on the right side of your code, then this trick is for you. The video makes a reference back to showing/hiding white space, which was covered in Trick Number 003.
Visual Studio Tip / Trick #015 English Transcription:
Today Visual Studio trick is repost of Sara Ford's original trickd published in August 2007. Trick no 15 is Visual Studio Virtual Space. By default you can only click in space that have been taken up or space that have been used. So if I click in this white space here you will see it just taking me to the end of what ever line I happen to be clicking on. If you select the Tools menu, than Options, you can turn on virtual space which allow you to then click anywhere and start typing in a specific region. So I can click than click here and start typing in the exact position, now to show you this, I have turned on the white space markers [CTRL]+[R],[W] which will make it little bit easier for us to see what is happening. So if we do click in a white space you will see what happens is visual studio just inserts some spaces before that which allows you to then start typing at any specific place in your document.
