I use this in dired (typing '0 w' with point on a file/dir): ,----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | w runs the command dired-copy-filename-as-kill, which is an | interactive compiled Lisp function in `dired.el'. | | It is bound to w, . | | (dired-copy-filename-as-kill &optional ARG) | | Copy names of marked (or next ARG) files into the kill ring. | The names are separated by a space. | With a zero prefix arg, use the absolute file name of each marked file. | With C-u, use the file name relative to the dired buffer's | `default-directory'. (This still may contain slashes if in a subdirectory.) `----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- cheers, Thorsten
