One function I always was relying on is the ability to Ctrl+C on a file in the file manager, and to then Ctrl+V in a text editor/ text field to paste it's complete path. I sometimes copied a lot of files to clipboard and than pasted their paths into Kate, to then process the directories (like cut off the unnecessary bits of the path. I used also this to attach files to emails, or to copy file paths to terminal windows. After switching to KDE5 (Linux Mint 18) I've noticed I can no longer do this - I really miss this functionality, and I can't find a way to enable it. It this still possible in Dolphin?

Works for me. If I Ctrl+C a file in Dolphin, I Ctrl+V its full path in Kwrite
