Copy file paths in Sumatra PDF editor

As a follow-up to Rob Haslam’s tip (see Issue 672) on keyboard shortcuts for the PDF editor Sumatra (www.snipca.com/48052), here’s a tip for copying a file path to your clipboard to make it easy to paste somewhere. Press Ctrl+K, then click Copy File Path (see screenshot below left). And that’s it. Before I discovered this shortcut I was pressing Ctrl+D then clicking Copy To Clipboard, which would copy all the information about the PDF. That can be useful too, but mostly I just need the file path.
