How can i copy a selected track's %filename%?

Hi, i would like to copy a selected track's %filename%.
Right now, via ctrl+c, foobar copies %title%.
I do not want to remove the titles from my files to bypass this.
I have been using these methods and grew tired of them:
right click -> properties -> properties -> filename -> hold shift -> left arrow untill the extension is not marked anymore -> ctrl+c
right click -> open containing folder -> f2 -> hold shift -> left arrow untill the extension is not marked anymore -> ctrl+c
copy via any of the 2 methods above without the hold shift part -> backspace untill the extension is gone

These methods require a bit too much hassle(and start feeling very primitive at some point..) for a customizable program like foobar.
My foobar primarily displays and sorts by %filename% in the playlists and that's what i want to be copied, when i press ctrl+c.
But of course, i don't want to give up the feature of copying files to a new playlist via ctrl+c, either.

So, in simpler terms

Right now:
ctrl+c = copy %title% to clipboard + copy track information, that can be inserted in any playlist
right click -> copy = copy %title% to clipboard + copy track information, that can be inserted in any playlist

I want:
any keyboard shortcut or context menu entry = copy %filename% to clipboard + copy track information, that can be inserted in any playlist
OR alternatively
any keyboard shortcut or context menu entry = copy %filename% to clipboard; any additional keyboard shortcut or context menu entry = copy track information, that can be inserted in any playlist

It's a very simple and basic feature, but i have no idea how i can make it happen.
