A simple Neovim plugin to copy file paths to your system clipboard.

• Copy absolute file paths with :CopyFilePathAbs or <leader>yp
• Copy relative file paths with :CopyFilePathRel or <leader>yr
• Visual feedback via notifications
• Handles edge cases (empty buffers, no file)
• Zero dependencies (uses only Neovim built-in APIs)

Add this to your plugin configuration (e.g., ~/.config/nvim/lua/plugins/copy-filepath.lua):

return {
  "your-username/neovim-plugins",
  dir = "copy-filepath.nvim",
  -- Load on first keymap use (lazy loading)
  keys = {
    { "<leader>yp", desc = "Yank absolute path" },
    { "<leader>yr", desc = "Yank relative path" },
  },
}

If you're developing or using this locally:

return {
  dir = "~/code/neovim-plugins/copy-filepath.nvim",
  name = "copy-filepath",
  keys = {
    { "<leader>yp", desc = "Yank absolute path" },
    { "<leader>yr", desc = "Yank relative path" },
  },
}

Add to your runtimepath:

set rtp+=~/code/neovim-plugins/copy-filepath.nvim

Or use your preferred plugin manager (vim-plug, packer, etc.).

• :CopyFilePathAbs - Copy the absolute path of the current buffer
• :CopyFilePathRel - Copy the relative path of the current buffer

• <leader>yp - Yank (copy) absolute path
• <leader>yr - Yank (copy) relative path

If you prefer to set your own keymaps, disable the defaults:

vim.g.copy_filepath_no_default_keymaps = 1

Then add your custom keymaps:

vim.keymap.set("n", "<your-key>", "<cmd>CopyFilePathAbs<cr>", { desc = "Copy absolute path" })
vim.keymap.set("n", "<your-key>", "<cmd>CopyFilePathRel<cr>", { desc = "Copy relative path" })

You can also call the functions directly from Lua:

local copy_filepath = require("copy-filepath")

-- Copy absolute path
copy_filepath.copy_absolute_path()

-- Copy relative path
copy_filepath.copy_relative_path()

-- Setup function (for future configuration options)
copy_filepath.setup({
  -- Currently no options, but reserved for future extensibility
})
