 | -------- | --------- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
 | `alwaysShowTabs` | _Required_ | Boolean | `true` | When set to `true`, tabs are always displayed. When set to `false` and `showTabsInTitlebar` is set to `false`, tabs only appear after typing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>T</kbd>. |
 | `copyOnSelect` | Optional | Boolean | `false` | When set to `true`, a selection is immediately copied to your clipboard upon creation. When set to `false`, the selection persists and awaits further action. |
+| `copyFormatting` | Optional | Boolean | `false` | When set to `true`, the color and font formatting of selected text is also copied to your clipboard. When set to `false`, only plain text is copied to your clipboard. |
 | `defaultProfile` | _Required_ | String | PowerShell guid | Sets the default profile. Opens by typing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>T</kbd> or by clicking the '+' icon. The guid of the desired default profile is used as the value. |
 | `initialCols` | _Required_ | Integer | `120` | The number of columns displayed in the window upon first load. |
 | `initialPosition` | Optional | String | `","` | The position of the top left corner of the window upon first load. On a system with multiple displays, these coordinates are relative to the top left of the primary display. If `launchMode` is set to `"maximized"`, the window will be maximized on the monitor specified by those coordinates. |
