- saagarjha 7y agoNo. The action of pasting or dropping the file is what gives access.
- spsful 7y agoI wasn't saying that to suggest a practical use of this "bug", just to point out that if it were as intentional as the above commend suggested then it should have been expanded to other methods of listing the file directory like typing it in.
- thenewnewguy 7y agoUnless you want the OS to spy on the keyboard this is near-impossible to pull off. And even then it's very hard to do well (backspace, tab auto-completion of paths, copy+paste, etc).
- ken 7y agoYou can do this via any file dialog, if you like. I don’t know offhand if Terminal has any open file dialogs, though.
