How to make Photoshop not crop transparent pixels?

If in Photoshop you select some element + some transparent area along the perimeter, and copy it to the clipboard , then it will automatically crop the selection to the size of an opaque area. And the "extra" transparency around will be discarded.
It happens that such behavior is convenient, but not always. How to make it put everything on the clipboard, including transparency? That is, so that the size of the image in the buffer exactly matches the original selection.

Selection is not cut off after all.
But only pixels are copied to the buffer when pressing Ctrl + C, and not "lack of pixels".

Unfortunately, you can’t copy it like that
. Only with “crutches” - put a couple of marks diagonally, for example
, or “crop” and “save as”

1. Save as png with transparency and load into a new layout.
2. Make a smart object out of the element, go into it and enlarge the canvas by the required number of pixels.
3. Make a background of the required size under the required object, set the fill to zero for this background, combine the resulting transparent background and the object into a group.

or I misunderstood you, or when selecting something, press Ctrl + Shift + C, then everything will be copied with all layers
