Description
Every time the open function is executed the starting path is the location where Micro was launched from. Navigating around deeper directory trees gets tedious very quickly if we are interested in opening few files on the same (deep) level.
As quick improvement would it be possible to allow text selection of the file path of the currently opened file and copy it into the clipboard?

Research direction
Start by locating the InfoBar implementation and the open function that establishes the starting path. Trace how the currently opened file path is displayed and check the terminal UI's available input and clipboard handling. Done means the displayed path can be selected and copied without disrupting normal navigation.
