Because copying directory paths is a cumbersome task (double-click address bar, select path, copy, escape etc.), I'd suggest to implement a simple action that allows to copy directory paths by only hovering them in order to Ctrl+C (copy).

Because a directory path consists of sub paths, it could also be imaginable that one hovers certain parts of a path in order to copy path only as far.

Hover + action is not standard on Windows, so besides not being discoverable, it also has chance to cause accidentaly copy when user's cusor just happens to be in wrong place. You can use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C to copy current path or  Ctrl+Shift+C to copy path to selected file

Thanks for the hotkeys, they are a great feature. Regarding accidental copies: I'd say, this could be true for new users, while for advanced users, the Hover + Hotkey (also for sub-paths) still could be an option they could go for, even for newbies, when they could to de-/activate such an option under the app settings.
