In sublime you can select all whitespace to the left and the right of the cursor as long as the cursor doesn't border a character.

Here it is working in Sublime (and not in VSCode)

Research direction

Start by locating the VS Code keybinding definitions and commands in the extension, then compare the reported Sublime behavior with the current mappings. Done means CMD+D selects the contiguous whitespace on both sides of the cursor when it is not adjacent to a character, with the behavior verified in VS Code.
