[skllcrn]

• OS version and name: macOS 10.14.4
• Hyper.app version: Hyper 3.0.0-canary.8 (stable)

Issue

[xavi-dev]

Same here with satable version: Hyper 3.0.0 (stable)

[ZaLiTHkA]

same thing with 3.0.0 stable on Windows 10 x64, doesn't seem to matter what shell I use (normally bash.exe from my Git program folder). pretty sure this worked in 2.x...

[robinscholz]

same issue

[janboode]

yep I have this issue too

[cansub1974]

Ditto, I've gone back to the previous version and it works fine.

[anthonylauzon]

Same issue

[jmmaynard]

Same issue here.

[bgold0]

This doesnt work in 3.0.0 or 3.0.2

[phamquyhai]

Same issue

[tam-lam]

Hyper 3.0.2 (stable)
Same issue, very inconvenient ,properly stop using this version until the issue is fixed

[cansik]

Really sad that the support for this feature is not back already. This definitely makes hyper useless for me; usually the "copy&paste" work around is not possible, because something else is already in the clipboard.

[Koenkk]

Same here on 3.0.2 (Windows)

[nhterry]

Ditto.

3.0.2 (Stable) Windows 10

[kkuciauskas]

Copy-pasting a folder to terminal using keyboard still works (CMD + C --> CMD + V). A temporary workaround I guess.

[skibitsky]

Same on 3.0.2 on macOS

[Luxcium]

ha ok I am not the only one I hope it will be back soon (either I am too lazy to write the full path or it's just about being more productive I don't know)

on 3.0.2 on macOS 10.14.4
Renderers: Canvas
Plugins:
hyper-opacity (1.0.0),
hyperlayout (0.2.1)

[xavi-dev]

Smalll workarround on macOS: CMD+OPTION+C This will copy the path of the file.

If you are better with mouse, then right click on the file and press option to see how the "copy file" changes to "copy file as path"

[rodolfoviolac]

+1!
Same problem on mac 10.14.4 with hyper 3.0.2

[kubatruhlar]

What a shame the feature has been removed.

[architchandra]

I'm facing the same problem. Please fix this.

Mac OS: 10.14.5
Hyper: 3.0.2 (stable)

[igoticecream]

Same issue

[skllcrn]

Please use 👍 to add your voice to the issue, unless you have additional information to add. Thank you!

[echobb8]

If there is a space in the name of a file/folder, right-clicking and choosing the option to "copy file/folder as path" is not working, because it's not adding a backslash after the words with spaces that come after them.

Example:

$ cd /Users/user/Documents/Test Folder/subfolder
bash: cd: /Users/user/Documents/Test: No such file or directory
$ cd /Users/user/Documents/Test\ Folder/subfolder (Manually added the backslash after "Test")
hostname:subfolder user$

TL;DR:
Fix this bug.

[adeonir]

Smalll workarround on macOS: CMD+C on Finder and CMD+V on Hyper.
This will paste the path with single quotes.

[slang25]

Thanks for addressing this @chabou 🎉

[architchandra]

It's mentioned here that the issue is closed but I'm on the latest available version and this still does not work.

MacOS version: Mojave v10.14.6 (18G87)
Hyper version: 3.0.2 (stable)
Plugins used: hyper-snazzy (1.3.0)

@chabou - It would be great if you can take a look once. Thanks.

@architchandra The solution hasn't been included in any public releases yet. If you want to try it, you need to build hyper from source.

[architchandra]

Ah. Any expected timelines for the public releases?

[eccoscreen]

Is this going to be fixed? This feature is pretty much a deal breaker, I've since moved to using the regular terminal app on macOS.

I agree, I have switched back to what I was previously using. I love hyper for the easy of use but this sucks.

[jamesaspence]

Does anybody know when this fix will be released? I found the commit from late July that appears to resolve it, but no release since May.

[ahorvat]

Very confused why the issue is closed when the fix is not released

I think many people will be happy when the current releases are update with this fix. In the mean time, it's very easy to build a binary from source. Just follow the instructions in the Readme under Contribute. The only extra install (for me a least) was yarn. The rest works brilliantly thanks to the project devs. Thanks guys, and keep up the good work!

[mrpbennett]

I have switched back to iterm2 because of this.

[architchandra]

If I build from source, would Hyper be able to detect when a public release is out and prompt me to update/update automatically? Or will I have to keep an eye out for when the public release happens?

[warpling]

@mrpbennett @mrpbennett @eccoscreen and others in this thread who are whining: Yes it's an annoying bug but take the attitude elsewhere. Hyper is a free project maintained by volunteers. What a thankless job.

[qweasd1]

guys, I create a plugin for this: https://github.com/qweasd1/hyper-drop-file, just hyper install hyper-drop-file and DO RESTART YOUR TERMINAL for the first time use. If you find it's useful, please star this plugin, thanks!

[ruucm]

@qweasd1 cool! though, it doesn't work with zsh?

[cansik]

As others already mentioned, it is quite easy to build hyper on your own and get a fix for this. The main problem I have now is, that I already adapted my workflow to always copy the file/directory and past it into hyper...and this is not supported anymore in the newest build.

So this "bug" forced me to learn something new and now I have to readapt because it is fixed. This leads to a not so great user experience, it would have been better to keep both ways on how to drag / copy a path into the command line (for those who adapted, and for the others).

[qweasd1]

@qweasd1 cool! though, it doesn't work with zsh?

Hi @ruucm, I test my plugin with zsh, it works fine.
I follows the step here to use zsh in hyper: https://tjay.dev/howto-my-terminal-shell-setup-hyper-js-zsh-starship/ and I test it with my plugin, it works fine on my mac.

So if it doesn't work for you, feel free to let me know the details, I will see if I could help!

[ruucm]

@qweasd1

Thanks for the reply. when I reinstall it. it works well :)

Thanks, man!

[qweasd1]

sounds great!
