You'll need to spawn a new shell for the change to take effect. You should start `nnn` as `n` (or modify the function name to something else). To change directory on quit press `Q` (it's _capital_) or `^G` while exiting.
 
 As you might notice, `nnn` uses the environment variable `NNN_TMPFILE` to write the last visited directory path. You can change it.
 
-#### copy file paths to clipboard
+#### copy file paths

+File paths can be copied to the clipboard or to a specific temporary file (if X is unavailable, for example). When in multi-copy mode, currently copied file paths can be listed by pressing `y`.

+##### to clipboard
 
 `nnn` can pipe the absolute path of the current file or multiple files to a copier script. For example, you can use `xsel` on Linux or `pbcopy` on OS X.

 Note that the filename is not escaped. So copying may still fail for filenames having quote(s) in them.

 A very common scenario on headless remote servers connected via SSH. As the clipboard is missing, `nnn` copies the path names to the tmp file `DIR/.nnncp`, where `DIR` (by priority) is:
