pwd equivalent command

pwd equivalent command

[Bryan W. Lepore]

is there a "pwd" equivalent in emacs that doesn't require opening up a new
shell or using the mouse, preferably showing the result in the mode line?

the best i can figure to use is "C-x d" to start to go to a new directory,
and then quit it with "C-g" but that starts to get annoying if you're 
jumping around a lot.

thanks

The M-x pwd is interesting.  A quick key version is C-x C-f followed
by C-g.

Unless you're using (ffap-bindings), which is very cool, and happen to
have the cursor placed above an URL or a filename.

Yes that could prove difficult since C-x C-f is would open such a file.
ffap is indeed cool -- I use it in a custom mouse pop-up menu.
