Feature request: copy path on ctrl+enter #33

Closed zorzysty closed 1 year ago

Opening a file or directory are definitely the most important features, but I would find it very useful to have a way to copy the highlighted file path. Sometimes you just need to find some file and paste its path somewhere.

Hi there, copying a file path is a valid use case that I also encounter sometimes.

It doesn't look like there are alternative keybindings that I can assign to a selected result item aside from Enter and Alt+Enter. I believe opening a file is the core feature for this extension, so I think the best approach to this would be to allow users to select their preferred behaviour for the Alt+Enter keybinding. When I have time, I'll raise a PR that lets you set copying the file path when you Alt+Enter. To avoid breaking existing behaviour, this will default Alt+Enter to open the directory.

I've tested the changes locally, and it works fine for me on Python 3.10.

Let me know if there are any issues :slightly_smiling_face:
