Hi,

I made a function for this (disclaimer: I'm in no way a lisp hacker :-))

(defun insert-filename ()
  (interactive)
  (insert
   (buffer-file-name)
   )
  )

Regards

Armando

I usually would do C-x C-f, then C-g.

My solution is following:

(setq frame-title-format '("%b " (buffer-file-name ("[" buffer-file-name 
"]"))))

regards

Marc

I'm not sure if you want: (buffer-file-name)

I can't remember offhand how to do it in elisp, but if you just want to 
know every so often when actually editing, try typing C-x C-f (find file) 
and the prompt will start off containing the current directory. Something 
like C-a C-k C-g will drop you back where you started, with the current 
directory on the top of the kill ring.
