At least once a day in emacs I need to get the name of the file visited by the current buffer and paste it somewhere. This bit of code puts the current buffer's filename at the top of the kill ring, ready for yanking:
(defun copy-current-buffer-name () "Copy the name of the current buffer into the kill ring, ready for yanking." (interactive) (let ((name (buffer-name (current-buffer)))) (kill-new name) (message "%s" name))) (global-set-key "\C-ch" 'copy-current-buffer-name)
I'm using the less-than-obvious C-c h since my C-c keymap
is just about full.
