How can I duplicate a file within a folder?

#1

Using: V4 on Win 10.

When I right-click on a file in the folders pane, there is no option to copy or duplicate the file (See screenshot below - I want to make a copy of counmodel.txt). CTRL+c / CTRL+v doesn’t work either. I can’t find an option to do it in the menus either … I assume I am looking in the wrong place! How do we do this?

My current solution is:

  1. open containing folder.
  2. make a copy of the file in the explorer window.
  3. close the containing foler.
  4. refresh the folder view in Sublime.

This is a pain in the butt and I want to do it directly via sublime.

https://packagecontrol.io/packages/FileManager implements that and more file/dir related operations.

That is so useful! Thank you. I think it should be part of Sublime by default.
