    Yay, basic features needing weird workarounds!

    Edit: it seems like it, but we were wrong. You dont need a filepath, you can literally copy the file and paste it to a

    • Terminal
    • Editor

    Can someone give me a situation where you cant paste a file and it inserts the filepath instead?

          How is it better if you are going to paste it anyway? I mean, on GNOME you would have to just copy the file, instead of the two clicks on KDE.

          Am I missing something?

            If for some reason you paste a file in telegram/slack/discord/teams, it tries to send the file, so I have no way of sending the path to the file (which might be on a shared device) to someone unless I paste it in a text editor first and then copy the text.

              That’s a very logical use case. Are there any keyboard modifiers you could use? Maybe pasting with CTRL+SHIFT+V for example?
