copy what is selected verbatim Does that include all trailing whitespace in the rectangle you selected? Should your selection automatically minimize to unselect said trailing whitespace (even before copying, I mean)? Should a selection preserve tab characters or replace them with spaces? What if the selection does not start at a tab boundary, should it ignore or include the half-selected tab instance? I don't think there is a singular answer to what "copy selection verbatim" means.
