Else, make it easy to copy the path

You can drag the file or folder (from the title bar or file list) icon icon into a terminal window and the path of that file/folder will be written to the command line. Not quite the same, but very useful (and a feature I often miss in Windows).

edit: I was mistaken about dragging files/folders into the Windows CLI, I was thinking about something else.



What do you mean it's missed in Win?

I'm a DOS guy not even PowerShell and I usually drag the folders icons to the CLI to browse directly to the location and complete the operation from the terminal ...


Apologies, you're correct. What I was thinking about was dragging folders and files into Open/Save dialogs.
