How to get quick path link to specific file
This will be a weird question but I can't think where else to ask it. For purpose of inserting hyperlinks in e-mail/instant message etc. how can I get TC to output a quick and easy network path link of a specific file for clipboard copying?
I can right click and select properties in the context menu and look at Location: but this doesn't include the filename, only the location. Similarly I can get the filename without the location, but I want the two to be combined together so I can copy the whole location/filename.ext for insertion elsewhere.
The only way I can get this is to create a shortcut, then check the Location info from the context menu for the shortcut to give me the full link for the location+file.ext although contained within quotation marks. So I have to delete the quotation marks and delete the pointless shortcut file afterwards as well. It's all a bit messy and convoluted and annoying. There must be a simple one-step way of doing this, but I'm stuffed if I can find out what it is. Any help please?

Internal command 2018 doesn't work?

It's impossible to lead us astray for we don't care even to choose the way.

Brilliant! Thank you so much. This is going to save me so much much time and repetitive messing about it's ridiculous. You have no idea.

Assign hotkey to cm_CopyFullNamesToClip via Configuration->Misc->Hotkey (There is Help Button also) or make a button on the button bar, eg:
Copy this lines and paste it into button bar. You can change path to icons file to your actual path.
Place cursor on file or select desired files and press Hotkey or Button on the Button bar to copy name(s) to clipboard.
Code: Select all
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_CopyFullNamesToClip
C:\Program Files\Total Commander\Wcmicons3.dll,45
Copy Full Names to Clipboard

Place cursor on file or select desired files and press Hotkey or Button on the Button bar to copy name(s) to clipboard.

Shift+Ctrl+Click on a file will transfer the full path to the command line where you can just copy i from
EDITED: It is Shift+Ctrl+Enter

Re: How to get quick path link to specific file
Nah that doesn't work in my configuration. CTRL+Shift+file in my config selects the file (or group of contiguous files) for movement operations - highlighted red.
But that's OK because I have a configured hotkey now for CTRL+SHFT+C = copy full path/filename to clipboard and it works brilliantly.

Too many extra clicks needed ..., doesn't work for a few files ...
