I'm not sure if this is what your looking for but ALT+A should copy the
absolute path of the current panel's current directory to the command line.
Likewise ALT+SHIFT+A should copy the absolute path of the opposite panel's
current directory... And since {unlike ESC+ENTER} neither of those adds a
trailing space to the inserted text, the two step combo of:
ALT+A ESC+ENTER
should do what you want.
Incidentally I usually use ALT+ENTER instead of ESC+ENTER, to get the same
results. So for me that would be:
ALT+A ALT+ENTER
Thus for example, if I select my systems xorg.conf file, then
simply hold the alt key down with one hand I can just tap "A" then "ENTER"
with the other to get:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
It just feels easier that way than adding the extra keystroke required for
the ESC+ENTER method.
