How it works

  1. Select local files or folders in File Explorer.
  2. Press Alt + Space and type “Copy File Names”.
  3. Review the name-copy options. Running this action replaces the clipboard contents explicitly.
  4. Start the action and check the result.

A practical example

Paste a list of document names into a message without attaching the documents.
