Why Featherpad

[Richard]

The Copy Path thunar action command is great.
I didn't even have to restart Thunar nor Featherpad.

DoubleCommander has had a CopyPath function for years.

Why are you guys copying paths to editors? I don't think I've ever felt the need to do that...

If one wants to do this (and I personally would find it handy on rare occasions) add a Thunar custom action.

Code: Select all

Name: Copy Name and Path to Clipboard
Description: Copies file's name and path to clipboard
Command: echo -n %f | xclip -i  -selection clipboard
Appearance Conditions: select everything

Now install xclip from the stable repo, close and restart Thunar, and Bob's your uncle.

Edit: whoops! I didn't see andyprough's post #14. Though actually, mine might be better. I use CopyQ not Clipit and it mine still works, though I haven't tested his with alternate clipboard managers. His might also work with CopyQ for all I know. But there, y'all have two alternatives to choose from.

I actually tweaked one for xclip to work with clipit, so that the user wouldn't have to install any different clipboard manager than the MX default. But I think yours is probably the more ideal, as from my understanding xclip is more configurable.
