The `xclip` package is used for this purpose. Alternatively, the `xsel` package can be used. ### Instructions 1. **Create a `.desktop` file:** Create the directory `$HOME/.local/share/file-manager/actions/` if it doesn't already exist. This name is expected by LXQt and pcmanfm-qt. Create a file named `copy-path.desktop` within that directory with the following content: ``` [Desktop Entry] Type=Action Profiles=profile1 Name=Copy path Name[de]=Pfad kopieren Icon=edit-copy [X-Action-Profile profile1] MimeTypes=all/allfiles;inode/directory; Exec=sh -c 'echo -n %f | xclip -selection clipboard' ``` 2. **Ensure the file is executable:** Run the following command in the terminal to make the file executable: ``` chmod +x $HOME/.local/share/file-manager/actions/copy-path.desktop ``` 3. **Install `xclip`:** Install `xclip` if it is not already installed: ``` sudo apt install xclip ``` ### Notes - **Directory structure:** The file must be located in the directory `$HOME/.local/share/file-manager/actions/`. - **Permissions:** Ensure the file is executable (`chmod +x`). - **Dependencies:** `xclip` or an alternative must be installed (`sudo apt install xclip`). ### References - [lxqt/pcmanfm-qt custom Actions](https://github.com/lxqt/pcmanfm-qt/wiki/custom_actions) - [xclip](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/xclip.1.html)
