How to (easily) get current file path in Sublime Text 3

I don't often use ST console (I used it only once to install package manager), but I suppose it could be good way to :

• get current file path like some kind pwd command.
• But it doesn't work.

---

Does anyone know an easy way to get current file path?

• to clipboard : better not a strict objective in the answer
• not necessary by ST command, maybe package?

Solution 1

Right click somewhere in the file (not on the title tab) --> Copy file path

If you don't want to use the mouse, you could set up a keyboard shortcut as explained here https://superuser.com/questions/636057/how-to-set-shortcut-for-copy-file-path-in-sublime-text-3

Solution 2

To easily copy the current file path, add the following to Key Bindings - User:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+c"], "command": "copy_path" },

Source

Key Bindings - User can be opened via the command palette (command + p on OSX)

Solution 3

Easy to understand using image. On Right Click you will get this.

Transcribed code in image for convenience:

import sublime, sublime_plugin, os

class CopyFilenameCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
    def run(self, edit):
        if len(self.view.file_name()) > 0:
            filename = os.path.split(self.view.file_name())[1]
            sublime.set_clipboard(filename)
            sublime.status_message("Copied file name: %s" % filename)

    def is_enabled(self):
        return self.view.file_name()...  # can't see

Mac OS X - Sublime Text 3

Right click > Copy File Path

Solution 5

A lot of these answers involve touching the mouse. Here's how to do get the path without any mouse clicks using SideBarEnhancements

1. Install SideBarEnhancements using PackageControl.
2. Click super + shift + P to open the command palette
3. In the command palette begin typing path until you see File: Copy Path
4. Select File: Copy Path

Now the path to file you are working in is copied into your clipboard.

Works in sublime text 2 as well. So awesome, yet so simple

Right clicking images doesn't seem to work though :/

@aug keyword being 'text' in the name Sublime Text.

How do you know that copy_path is the right command ? How do we know what available ? Is there any docs that I miss ?

[cheshireoctopus]

@ihue - good question; wasn't able to locate copy_path in the docs; if you check out the source I provided above, that user turned on command logging via sublime.log_commands(True).

been here before...damn I keep clicking on the title tab to get it

[Rafiki]

too bad it's not possible on the tab, you have to switch tab before doing that, sometimes it's a little bit annoying

Is there a way to show it on screen? (preferably a keyboard shortcut). Reason is because I have many files of the same name in the same directory, and most commonly have stuff I want to keep on the clipboard)

[stevec]

I just realised hovering over the tab gives the full file path
