## Remove trailing white-spaces when copying text in rectangular selection to clipboard (preview)

When this is set to `true` and you copy text in a rectangular (block) selection to the clipboard, trailing white-spaces are removed from each line. When it's set to `false`, the white-spaces are preserved, ensuring that all lines have the same length. To copy text in a rectangular (block) selection, hold down the `Alt` key, right-click and drag your mouse over the text area you want to select. This can be useful for selecting text columns, etc.

**Property name:** `trimBlockSelection`

**Necessity:** Optional

**Accepts:** `true`, `false`

**Default value:** `false`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This feature is only available in [Windows Terminal Preview](https://aka.ms/terminal-preview).
