Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.95) OS: Linux select filename text In windows can click, wait, click, double-click control c This may not be desired behavior... still a need for a number of people... note that right click -->copy copies something that lets many programs paste in the whole path (which seems correct)... and presumably if it is an image, paste an image into a file... heard that it is possible on kde 3 to hover over text making it selectable. 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.
How about adding a context menu item 'Copy Filename Text' to achieve this?
This wish sounds similar to or related with bug 205157.
@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

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 ***
