How to quickly copy current filename?

[Aleksey Midenkov]

Among the others, Copy from project tree does not do what is expected,
but copies URL. Using URLs in Unix is like using XML for config files
-- non-human friendly, just absurd! Besides, it doesn't compatible
with GDB and GNU fileutils.

And as I said -- it is not instant access. About that shortcut "CTRL +
<", does it open project tab? Because if it doesn't work with project
tab closed, then it is unusable!

Clutter what? Context menu on tab is too meager. In fact, many places
in KDevelop is meager on UI. Four options can result in 2 menu
entries: with Shift or not.

P.S. I just think why I stick to KDevelop? With v3 pro against Eclipse
was lightweight. Now it is heavyweight and slow and in fact doesn't do
much additional value. But additionally buggy, ugly, clumsy and
inconvenient. So, no real reason to not switch to Eclipse...
