Description

The Shell Path Copy plugin makes it easier to copy file and folder paths in formats that match your target system, whether you're working on Windows, macOS, Linux, or even a mobile device connected to a remote server. It integrates directly into the right-click menu and command palette, offering relative paths, absolute paths, and file:// URLs, all formatted appropriately for the platform. You can configure which options appear, choose how paths are wrapped to handle spaces, and get visual confirmation when a path is copied. This helps avoid manual edits when pasting into terminals, scripts, or AI assistants like Claude Code or Gemini CLI.
