Regarding how additional spaces are handeld, I'd like to ask that there is a way to preserve spaces at the beginning or end of fragments when they are put into the clipboard. Fro isntance. If one _adds_ something to the clipboard, then if this addition starts with a space I'd like this one to be preserved because it means I am trying to accumulate words. Or maybe there would be a mode where one can say that we accumulate words. I already mentionned that I use that to accumulate file names. At the moment I need to explicitly include spaces but I'd like this to be understood somehow. Or am I asking for something that even clipboard for sighted users do not provide?
