Does Visual Studio Code support selecting columns of text?
I have not yet found this feature, so I am wondering if it is hidden somewhere. I am familiar with holding down Alt while selecting text, but Visual Studio Code does not behave this way.

Visual Studio Code has basic PHP support built in, but as of now, I don't think there is a specific Symfony Plugin that would give you the deep framework integration you'd get with the Symfony Eclipse Plugin or PHPStorm.
If someone ever creates such an extension, the Visual Studio Marketplace would probably be the right place to look for it.
Yes, it has built in git integration. Please refer to this tutorial. There are also plethora of extensions, like Git History and Git Project Manager

In Visual Studio Code version 1.0, you can now select columns by holding down Shift+Alt, then click and drag with the mouse. This can also be done using just the keyboard by holding down Ctrl+Shift+Alt and then using the arrow keys.
On latest version of vscode - 1.45.1, you can achieve same by Shift+Alt itself ( verified in May 2020)
