Copy File Relative Path

Credits to ChatGPT.

Quickly copy file names or paths relative to the currently active file in VS Code.

Features

• Copy File Name: Right-click on a file in the Explorer and copy its name.
• Copy Path Relative to Active File: Right-click on a file and copy its path relative to the currently active editor.
• Multi-language Support: Shows confirmation messages in your system language (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Russian).

How to Use

1. Right-click on a file in the Explorer.
2. Select "Copy File Name" or "Copy Path (Relative to Active Editor)".
3. A notification will appear showing the copied content.

You can also use the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) and search for:

• Copy File Name
• Copy Path (Relative to Active Editor)

Keyboard Shortcuts (Optional)

You can assign your own shortcuts in keybindings.json, for example:

{
  "key": "ctrl+k ctrl+shift+c",
  "command": "copyRelative.copyFileName",
  "when": "explorerViewletVisible"
}

But I recommend you to directly use the context menu to avoid open/preview the target file.
