I really don't see why you call the current way "normal" when it is
clearly different from what almost all other Gtk programs do.  Yes, it
is convenient for some workflows, but then it is also inconvenient for at
least one other workflow (mine).

Maybe just add another menu item, call it "Path To Clipboard" or something?

Sorry, how does that help?

Ah, but now I can add my own BTW :-)

You can actually paste the Clipboard selection in a shell.  Just run the
shell inside Emacs and use the clipboard-yank command.
