Copy the file and paste into the same folder #20

@dreamjade

Description

@dreamjade

Describe your feature request:

I would like to be able to copy a file and paste it into the same folder in MarkText. This would be useful for creating new files from existing ones, or for making copies of files to edit without modifying the originals.
Like the "duplicate" method in the jupyter notebook

What problem does this feature solve?

Currently, the only way to copy and paste a file in MarkText is to copy it to the clipboard and then create a new file in the desired folder and paste the contents of the clipboard into it. This is a two-step process that can be tedious if you need to copy and paste multiple files.

Additional context:

  • Here are some possible ways to implement this feature:
    Allow users to right-click on a file in MarkText and then drag it to the desired location in the same folder to create a copy of the file.
    I hope you will consider adding this feature to MarkText. It would be a very useful addition for many users.

  • Additionally:
    To rename the newly created file, you could add a dialog box that pops up after the file is copied and pasted, asking the user for a new name for the file.
