Greetings!
Is there any way to copy the full pathname of the file under point in
dired? For example, when I am in my home home directory and point is
on the file foo, I would like to be able to copy the path
/home/sparkle/foo
Thanks!

This defines a function to do that

(defun dired-copy-filename ()
  "push the path and filename of the file under the point to the kill ring"
  (interactive)
  (message "added %s to kill ring" (kill-new (dired-get-filename))))


And this will bind it to 'c' on entering dired
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
    (define-key dired-mode-map "c" 'dired-copy-filename)))

VERY LIGHTLY TESTED
