Description

Automatically removing trailing whitespaces is not always desirable as pointed out int

https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/1012#issuecomment-2696454892

Should we support `s` flag in nth templates? e.g. `--with-nth '{s1} {2}'`

Research direction

Start by tracing how nth templates are parsed and how trailing whitespace is currently removed, using the `--with-nth '{s1} {2}'` example as the target behavior. Done means an `s` flag can control preservation of trailing whitespace without changing existing nth template behavior.
