Re: How to insert buffer name into buffer

[ken]

This function should get you part of the way there:

(defun file-name-into-kill-buffer ()
"Put path/filename of current buffer onto kill-ring so to paste
into an X application."
(interactive)
     (let ((str (buffer-file-name)))
       (and str
            (kill-new str)
            (message "Copied %s to kill ring" str)))
)
