Is there an easy way to add spaces to multiple lines so that each line has equal amount of characters?

Motivation, say I want to add '*' at end of each line

/***************************
* This is line 1. *
* Line2. *
* May be line3. *
* For sure this is line 4. *
****************************/

Without using any custom format program, is there a way in VS code to add different number of spaces just before the last '*' like so:

/***************************
* This is line 1.          *
* Line2                    *
* May be line3             *
* For sure this is line 4. *
****************************/

• select all the * at the lines that are incorrect
• add as much spaces as needed to get all *'s beyond the correct position
• Esc to get out of multi cursor
• Place Multi Cursor on all lines at the position where you want the *'s
• press Ctrl Delete
• Esc to get out of multi cursor

You can do this fairly simply with an extension I wrote,

You can do multiple selections at a time too.
