Summary: Right-Click On Tab Presents "Copy Path" Menu Item

Initial Comment:
3 SUGGESTIONS

(1)
I'm creating a couple batch files and I wanted the path
to the batch file. So that results in this silly
feature request. It appears simple to encode, by
putting the FQFN into the clipboard.

The way I see it happening, present it in the drop down
menu for the Tab as "Copy FQFN" or "Copy Path". I don't
see any reason for more than one item. There's no need
to differentiate between file name and path. So this
keeps it very simple, very sweet.

(2)
The second suggestion involves putting the "Copy Path"
menu item in the right click of the "edit window".
However, upon further thoughts, I think the tab would
be a better place for it, as the menu's should be kept
simple and sweet without getting overloaded with a
burden of items.

Feel free to debate this issue with yourself and others.

(3)
A third suggestion parallels this suggestion and
involves another menu item. This item would be be
better inside the "editing window", but might work
inside the "application window" (whereby it becomes
availble anywhere a right click occurs inside the
"application window"). This suggestion involves "Copy
Line" and provides a way to copy a line without having
to highlight the whole line. It can be beneficial and
save some time for those that use the mouse. I'm going
to sit weakly on this suggestion and strongly on the
first suggestion. Yeah, I tend to use the keyboard to
capture a line of text, the HOME and END keys work fine
for me.

I don't want to see anything like "Delete Line" or "Cut
Line" but perhaps it could something that the enduser
can provide by editing a Properties file.

The arguments I percieve against the "Copy Line" menu item:

(1) It erases what was previously in the menu,
(2) It adds another item to the list of items, but it
could be a very useful item, so the usefulness versus
the extra menu item is subject to debate.

Thanks for the great editor.
