File path to clipboard in Emacs
I use this:
(defun my-put-file-name-on-clipboard ()
"Put the current file name on the clipboard"
(interactive)
(let ((filename (if (equal major-mode 'dired-mode)
default-directory
(buffer-file-name))))
(when filename
(with-temp-buffer
(insert filename)
(clipboard-kill-region (point-min) (point-max)))
(message filename))))
Why no one tell the simple solution.
Just go to your dired buffer then press 0 w or C-u 0 w.
This will call dired-copy-filename-as-kill
which gives you full path of a file. If you want current dir, just delete the file at the end of it or you can use the function below, then bind it to any key you like.
(defun my/dired-copy-dirname-as-kill ()
"Copy the current directory into the kill ring."
(interactive)
(kill-new default-directory))
PS: personally I go to current directory from file buffer using dired-jump
