Hello,
I don't know of any predefined short-cut for this, but you can assign one for yourself.
  • Go into Configuration->Options->Misc.->Redefine hotkeys
  • Choose your hotkey (ex. Ctrl+Shift+C)
  • And for Command scroll down to clipboard section and choose cm_CopyNamesToClip.
The only inconvenience in case of folders is that TC appends a "\" after the name of the folder. I'm not sure how you can get rid of it...
Hope it helps.

:) Hello !
- You can also set a button in the bar for cm_CopyNamesToClip (and for other commands of this family too), that I do always, it's very handy too…

Just have a look at Lefteous Lst2Clip . There you can define strings/chars to move or add to/from the filename.

I was trying to do this myself. Here's the best solution I've found:

Configuration, Misc., set a hotkey CTRL+SHIFT+P and assigned it to cm_CopySrcPathToClip=2029;Copy source path to clipboard
