Feature request: Show the path to the file.  #639

Mousepad has the option, here is a comparison:

I use a window manager without titlebars so this is very useful as sometimes I'm editing similar files in different paths and I'm not sure which one is which.

I think the simplest solution would be showing the full path to the file in the tab title instead of a new bar like mousepad does.

^^ boost.

Right-click [ doc_tab ] -> "Copy full path to clipboard"
(often available there in apps)

For web development work, i'm not sure why necessarily, but i feel like i always want to have the full path to file available at the fingertips, if not even in various formats.

I couldn't find it at all. I don't think it's there. That's fine. it seems to be more popular, or "always present" in windows native apps, perhaps.

Not sure why Linux Destkop environment text editors tend to skip it.
Other than that particular feat (which may be there and i cant find it )

Cheers and best regards, and thank you for a great editor! I can't believe i have used Leafpad/Featherpad/Mousepad whatever all these years, and didn't realize this existed. :)

Just hover the tab and wait for second or two, a "text bubble" will appear with:

  • Fullname (including FULL path 9even if using sftp://....)
  • MIME Type
  • Encoding

Enjoy ! 😉
