The Shift Around Add Copy File Name Context Menu Item
Right-click on a file in the list, and most users scroll past menu options that only repeat paths - no clean way to grab just the name. But what if you need myScript.tsx without /docs/myScript.tsx? That’s where a new context menu item comes in: Copy File Name. This subtle addition lets you extract just the filename and extension - perfect for sharing snippets in pull requests or emails. It’s already standard on mobile apps, so users will recognize it instantly. No clutter, just precision. Here’s how it works: when you right-click a file, the menu now shows ‘Copy File Name’ alongside existing options. Clicking it copies the name only - no subfolders, no extras. This small change cuts friction in collaboration, especially when naming variables or tagging in comments. But here is a blind spot: many users assume ‘file name’ means just the base name, not including extensions. Clarifying this prevents accidental omissions in automated scripts. When typing in a .tsx file, always use this shortcut - your workflow just gets cleaner. Is your file list missing this quiet productivity win? It might be time to ask your dev team to add it.
