Name Path Copier

This project is a fork of Editor Path Copier by Kosuke Saigusa. It keeps the original one-click toolbar idea and adds file-name copying plus per-button settings.

A VS Code extension that copies the current file's absolute path, relative path, or file name (without extension) from the editor toolbar.

Features

• One-click copy from the editor toolbar (top-right)
• Three copy actions:
  • Absolute path (C:\projekty\app\src\extension.ts)
  • Relative path (src/extension.ts)
  • File name (extension)
• Each button can be shown or hidden, reordered, and given a different Codicon
• Notification confirms what was copied
• Works out of the box; settings are optional

Usage

1. Open any local file in VS Code
2. Use the buttons in the editor toolbar
3. The value is copied to the clipboard

Default order and icons (all buttons default to position 1):

Configuration

Open Settings and search for Name Path Copier, or edit settings.json.

Each action has three settings: enabled, order (1 / 2 / 3), and icon.

{
  "name-path-copier.copyAbsolutePath.enabled": true,
  "name-path-copier.copyAbsolutePath.order": 1,
  "name-path-copier.copyAbsolutePath.icon": "files",

  "name-path-copier.copyRelativePath.enabled": true,
  "name-path-copier.copyRelativePath.order": 1,
  "name-path-copier.copyRelativePath.icon": "files",

  "name-path-copier.copyFileNameWithoutExtension.enabled": true,
  "name-path-copier.copyFileNameWithoutExtension.order": 1,
  "name-path-copier.copyFileNameWithoutExtension.icon": "whole-word"
}

Give visible buttons different order values if you want a fixed left-to-right sequence. Available icons include copy, file, files, link, location, whole-word, folder, and others listed in the setting dropdown.

Changes apply immediately, without reloading the window.

Installation

Install from the Visual Studio Marketplace, or in VS Code open Extensions and search for Name Path Copier.

This project is a fork. The original extension is still on the Marketplace.
