Is there a shortcut key to copy address in Address Bar?
Is there a shortcut key to copy address in Address Bar?
I've looked at the manual in the section "Using Address Bar" but couldn't find anything.
I realize I can do Ctrl+Tab or Shift+Tab, then Ctrl+C, but that is a lot of keys to be typing very often.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel

I am assuming that you want to compose a DOS/Windows command.
(The Address Bar automatically follows the active pane, and hence there is no need to copy an address from the panes into Address Bar.)
The DOS/Windows commands are not core function of the Address Bar; and hence the UM describes them separately. Please check the techniques provided on p. 154-155. (Using tokens and borrowing the paths from panes).
Also check out the rest of this section (especially automatic script generation)-- It will help you achieve even higher productivity!

Thanks for the info, Narayan, however, I'm not trying to compose a DOS/Windows command. I simply want to copy the active pane's address to paste it into an email to send to someone. I do this a lot to point people to paths on the network. That's all.
I used Servant Salamander in the past and it had a way of copying the address by typing a single key (F6 or something). I believe Total Commander has this same capability.
Any ideas?

I have to say, it would be nice to have a key combo that would copy the current path.
Alt-C works great if a file or folder is selected, but of course does nothing when there is no current selection.
Can Alt-C be altered like the 6 Million Dollar Man (we can build him -- better, stronger, faster) so that it copies the current path when no file or folder is active? That would be ideal -- one keystroke to fit all contexts.
If not, can we not get another key combo to do the same?
With all this power at hand, there must be some way to flay the cat...

I use AutoHotKey for stuff like this.
For instance, the following script would map the functionality you're looking for to CTRL+ALT+c:
Once the script is active, just hit CTRL+ALT+c and you're ready to paste the current path! Of course, you can map this to any key combo you want.
You could also use a VBS script to add this functionality.
For instance, the following script would map the functionality you're looking for to CTRL+ALT+c:
Code: Select all
$^!c::
IfWinNotActive, ahk_class ATL:ExplorerFrame
{
Send, ^!c
return
}
Send, ^{Tab}^c{Tab}
return
You could also use a VBS script to add this functionality.
But there is! Ninotech Path Copy can do whatever you want (there are 8 options to choose from; and all options are available in a single step, from the context menu).There is no single shortcut to copy the address in one shot!
No need to edit/delete anything after copying.
How does it matter whether the function comes from x2 or its "plug-in"?
Anyway, till Nikos develops this function, use Ninotech Path Copy!
See chapter-8 of User Manual for details.
