When I use Nautilus, or look at Desktop, I see representations of many
files and folders. I want a very quick right-click method to copy the
fullpathname of such items.
Am I missing this? Does it exist already?
It would be very useful to me and probably to many users.
It would also be "culturally consistent" with Mozilla software.

INSTEAD, TODAY, in order to "drop" full text pathnames of these
files/folders into (say) TERMINAL, I must laboriously construct the full
pathname. I must copy the filename (or foldername) and I must also copy
(or, in case of DeskTop, type from memory) the path.
Thus I need two operations to obtain
path / filename
It's crazy. I'm surprised no-one's proposed this before.
I want to skip the labor. I want a facility like FireFox and ThunderBird
provide where, when you
right-click something
you get a drop-down menu which INCLUDES
copy-this-item
which produces a saved ("copied") text
which may be "pasted" elsewhere.
It works for email addresses, URLs
UBUNTU should make this sort of thing work for ALL GUIs which display
files or folders.
