Reproducible: Didn't try This is a conceptual feature request, actual implementation is subjective. I hope to tackle this, and am considering using the icon panel/ with configuration capabilities.. I have copied many many file names on windows in a file-wrangling job (bosses were too dumb to let us use scripts)... so I am used to being able to copy filenames. clicking on text and not having it do anything other than be selectable is part of my long term thinking. 1007813 1 gfarrell 2010-08-22 08:12:44 +0000 How about adding a context menu item 'Copy Filename Text' to achieve this? 1200601 2 adaptee 2011-12-16 17:08:51 +0000 This wish sounds similar to or related with bug 205157. 1212283 3 alpeterson 2012-01-10 05:59:55 +0000 @Jekyll, This is not exactly the same as the two clicks to rename a file bug... This bug is just about getting the filename into the clipboard. a plugin architecture could let us create a "column", "tooltip", or "gwenview like mini icon" that would copy the filename into the clipboard. Bug 290846 is about the pugins 1291034 4 vanmeeuwen 2012-08-24 16:19:54 +0000 Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719 1695367 5 nate 2017-08-18 18:05:58 +0000 This would and will be resolved by implementing https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205157, which will bring usage in line with how inline file renaming works in Windows, macOS, and many other Linux file managers. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 205157 ***
