Describe the feature

I'd like to have an editor option that allows moving the cursor caret beyond the line end in a non-wrapping manner.

This behavior was the standard for early editors like DOS TurboC/Pascal, Delphi/CBuilder and even KDevelop/Katepart, but then KDE ditched that option for no good reason.

Being a programmer for ~30 years I am so used to this behavior that the modern wrapping cursor makes me sick. Please consider an option to bring this behavior back :pray:

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Something like this with the exception that when a newline is inserted, cursor should inherit previous line's indentation:
