Powertoys: Copy absolute or relative path

Created on 19 Sep 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: microsoft/PowerToys

As a Windows user, I want to right-click a file/folder in File Explorer and copy its relative or absolute path to the system clipboard so that I can paste it in another location (e.g., chat, terminal, code).

This feature request is somewhat related to the "Cmd (or PS or Bash) from here" tool in the backlog. In fact, it would be nice to specify either Windows or *nix style path for ease of use with WSL.

Worth noting that there is already a tool for this called Path Copy Copy, but I think it would be great for this project to exist under the PowerToys banner.

Hi @11rchitwood
are you aware of Shift + right click on a file to enable the Copy as path context menu item?
