In Intellij IDEA, is there a way to copy the path of the current editor tab to the clipboard?

Question

I'm doing some writing and would like to copy the path of the current editor tab (as shown in the tooltip here) to the clipboard:

Anyone happen to know a shortcut for this?

right click and pull down to "Copy Path" - or there's a shortcut key, but it may vary by machine. On Mac, it's shift-command-C. — Don Roby, Oct 11 '14 at 18:45

Ctrl+Shift+C works on Windows, even if your focus is on the editor.

I assume Cmd+Shift+C will also work on a Mac.

Press Alt+Home to select current file on Navigation Bar:

Then Shift+Command+C to copy path to a file and Esc come back to editor.

see sam's answer, going to the navigation bar first isn't necessary. – user1489829 Apr 29 '20 at 19:58

I found Ctl+Shift+Alt+C can copy path with UNIX slash, not backslash.
