In the editor, you can right-click and select copy filename which copies the path/name of the current file in the editor.

Nice functionality.

Intuitively I had expected this functionality as well if you right click on
- the path/filename in the status bar at the bottom of the editor windo (where line number, insert mode etc are shown)
- perhaps at the editor tab itself...

Would requesting this feature make sense: is it something others would want as well, and is it easy to implement?

Thanks,
Reinier

I think also should be nice if we have a button that calls an OpenDialog and it inserts the selected file's path to help avoid mistakes writing some filepath "by hand" on source...

File -> Open dialog already does that at least here.
