Copy Path with Code

A Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to copy both the relative file path and its content with a single keyboard shortcut.

Features

• Copy file path and content to clipboard
• Support for copying selected text portions with line numbers
• Multiple file copying with automatic duplicate handling
• Clear clipboard with a single shortcut
• Uses keyboard shortcuts:
  • Ctrl+Alt+C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Alt+C (Mac) to copy
  • Ctrl+Alt+Z (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Alt+Z (Mac) to clear clipboard
• Works in any text editor within VS Code and VS Code-based IDEs

Important Note

⚠️ You must click inside the code area of the file (make the text editor active) before using the extension shortcuts. Simply selecting a file in the explorer panel is not sufficient.

another/path/to/file.ext

[entire file content]
