Bug#522094: gedit: copy document location to clipboard

[Tyler MacDonald]

Package: gedit
Version: 2.24.3-1
Severity: wishlist


Hi,

	It would be really nice if I could right click on a tab / document
body in gedit and select "copy document location" to get the document's full
path in my clipboard.  It seems the closest I can get is going to "File ->
Open" -- which will allow me to drag-and-drop a path into a terminal window,
but I can't drag it into a chat window since pidgin thinks I'm trying to
start a file transfer, or into another document in gedit since gedit thinks
I'm trying to re-open the file...

	Thanks,
		Tyler
