 ### Help
 
     $ man noice
+
+### Copy current file path to clipboard
+
+noice can pipe the absolute path of the current file to a copier script. For example, you can use `xsel` on Linux or `pbcopy` on OS X.
+
+Sample Linux copier script:
+
+    #!/bin/sh
+
+    echo -n $1 | xsel --clipboard --input
+
+export `NOICE_OPENER`:
+
+    export NOICE_COPIER="/home/vaio/copier.sh"
+
+Start noice and use `Ctrl-k` to copy the absolute path (from `/`) of the file under the cursor to clipboard.
