A VS Code extension that allows you to easily copy file paths from the editor toolbar.
Features
📋 One-click copy - Add buttons to the editor toolbar for instant path copying
🎯 Two copy modes - Copy absolute or relative paths as needed
💬 Instant feedback - Notification displays the copied path for confirmation
⚡ Lightweight - No configuration needed, works out of the box
Usage
Open any file in VS Code
Look for the copy icons in the editor toolbar (top-right area)
Click to copy either:
First icon: Absolute path (full system path)
Second icon: Relative path (relative to workspace root)
The path is automatically copied to your clipboard
