Feature Request: Get file paths from all open tabs

[mere-human]

Description of the Issue

I want have an ability to copy paths of all opened documents.
This was discussed on a community forum:
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/21447/how-to-get-file-paths-from-all-open-tabs
There are other suggestion there. Please, see my suggestion below.

Actual Behavior

This copies file path only for current document:
Edit > Copy to Clipboard > Current Full File path to Clipboard

Expected Behavior

Add a way to copy the file path for all opened document.

Suggestion:
Make the text from Window > Windows copyable.
It already supports multi-select. The only thing missing is Ctrl+C and put a list of of file paths to clipboard.

We don't have any separator between copied names/paths. In Search Panel, when we copied paths, separator is new line (CRLF). This is probably the most sensible in the further processing of this copy.

Edit: this happend when I past to Notepad, but not for other editors. Weird, when I copy paths from Search Panel to Notepad problem not exists, any thoughts?

@ArkadiuszMichalski This is because LF is used as a separator for copied paths.
It's a pity that Notepad doesn't understand these. But luckily, most of the modern text editors including Notepad++ do.
If this is really a problem, you can create a new issue and I can change the separator to CRLF.

I don't know, in general, the CRLF combination in Windows is probably the right one, and since Notepad++ is created for Windows ...

This Window is modal, so after copying I instinctively pasted it into Notepad, and here I got merged all in one line. Since copying from Search Panel works in any program, maybe it is worth doing the same here.

@ArkadiuszMichalski What version of Notepad do you use (Help > About Notepad)?
Could you place the screenshot of how it looks?
I tried it locally, and it seems like Notepad handles the LF just fine.

Ahh sorry, on Win7, looks like Notepad in Win10 has been improved.

Anyway, I've already implemented a fix for consistency.
