Sometimes I need to use the name of the file that I'm editing in another application (compiler, e-mail attachment, reference in a document, etc).
These mappings are useful for copying the file name to the clipboard.
" Convert slashes to backslashes for Windows. if has('win32') nmap ,cs :let @*=substitute(expand("%"), "/", "\\", g)<CR> nmap ,cl :let @*=substiture(expand("%:p"), "/", "\\", g)<CR> " This will copy the path in 8.3 short format, for DOS and Windows 9x nmap ,c8 :let @*=substitute(expand("%:p:8"), "/", "\\", g)<CR> else nmap ,cs :let @*=expand("%")<CR> nmap ,cl :let @*=expand("%:p")<CR>
This maps the following keys:
- ,cs copies just the filename.
- ,cl copies the filename including it's full path.
- ,c8 copies the filename in 8.3 format for DOS and Windows 9x
You can then simply paste the name into another document using the regular paste command.
