Notepad++: how to get filename / path of current file and put it into the clipboard in notepad plus plus

Question

Editing files with VIM I can easily copy & paste the name ( or the full path ) of the file I'm working on ( to understand what I mean about VIM you can see: this question or wiki );

Is there an equivalent solution by using Notepad++ ?, how can I do?

Answer 1

Notepad++ has no default shortcut to do that, but:

open menu: "Edit" (Alt-E) then select: "Copy to clipboard" and you have different options to copy the fully qualified file name for current document or parts of it.

See this wiki for exhaustive reference.

Answer 2

Another solution is to right-click on the tab, which will let you get the file name/path from there. However, I have tabs disabled, so I have to go with Franco's solution.

Answer 3

There is no default shortcut key to copy file name or path but you can create one.

Go to Settings->Shortcut mapper scroll down and look for "Current File path to Clipboard" click on the empty cell next to it and provide the shortcut of your choice.
