Please add a "remove leading and trailing whitespace setting" when copying a single line of text

Frequently I use "git branch" to list out branches, and then triple click on one of them to highlight it, and then right-click to copy it. I then do "git checkout" followed by Ctrl+V to checkout this branch.

When I do this, there's always whitespace at the front of the branch name that was copied.

This is just one concrete example, but this happens all the time. When copying a single line of text it is very rare that the user is trying top copy the entire line of output as-is.

Can you please add a setting that removes leading whitespace when copying. It should apply only to single-line copies.

We could probably add a "trimWhitespace": "none" | "trailing" | "leading" | "all" param to copy. That seems kinda sensible. The equal of the paste property.
