Hi;

I know there is a way or a command or something, which can be used to
insert the current path into a terminal command. But, I forget and
can't find it again.

e.g. Using the file browser I find a file I am looking for,
say /usr/applicationfile/foo. Now in the gterminal (open at the same
time) I want to $ cat 'foundfile/foo'. How do I automatically
insert /usr/applicationfile/foo

Remind me how, please ??

Not sure about what you want.

You may check the $PWD environment variable (Print Working Directory),
or the pwd corresponding command, that return the current path.

E.g.:
$ cd ~/foo
$ pwd
/home/username/foo
$ basename $PWD
foo
