Whenever I copy-paste a file path I get this:
x-special/nautilus-clipboard copy
file://<file-path>
instead of just
<file-path>
I have gone to Settings → General → Advanced → Shared clipboard and changed to Bidirectional. Also did the same for Drag'n'Drop and changed it to Bidirectional too.
However I am still unable to copy and paste from my Windows 10 desktop to my VirtualBox 6.1.2 which runs on Ubuntu 20.04.
I basically want to be able to copy and paste from my Windows machine to my virtual Ubuntu machine.
I tried to cut/copy a file from one folder and paste it in another folder using the right-click context menu. However, the paste option is not working. The problem does not happen within same folder. How to solve this issue?
When I copy a file path from the GUI (right-click on file and press 'Copy') and then paste it in the command line (Ctrl + Shift + V), it shows as:
file:///home/user/Documents/file.ext
I would like it to show as:
/home/user/Documents/file.ext
Is there a shortcut for this? I work a lot with images and it is a bit cumbersome to always manually delete 'file://'.
It seems like a typical way that you have some output in the terminal and if you want to select certain phrase you use your mouse to copy it, but is there any way to select without using mouse? For example, I input ls, and get a list of files, and I want to select the second file (second row), is there a way to copy the name without using mouse?
