Answer 2

I use the following phrase to copy a directory's contents to the clipboard.

1. Copy the path,
2. run the phrase
3. Paste the path of the directory in the dialog
4. Hit enter in the command prompt

The clipboard now contains the list of files of the specified directory, which you can simply paste in notepad or whatever.

{#setclipboard {#input -head Folder Path -single}}

{#run "cmd"}{#sleep 250}
cmd /c dir "{#insertclipboard}" /b /a:-d /o:n | clipnn
