Breadcrumb: Add "Copy path" context menu

vdavid · vdavid · commit eb4d3c921e8e · 2026-04-12T03:15:54.000+02:00
- New `file.copyCurrentDirectoryPath` command (no default shortcut, configurable in Settings)
- Right-click breadcrumb header shows native "Copy path" context menu
- Copies full absolute path (no `~` shorthand) of the current directory
- Shortcut label auto-displays in context menu if user configures one
