Try the shortcut:

[Left Alt + Enter]

Solution 2:[2]

In some terminals (default configuration of Windows Terminal) you cannot use:

  • Alt+something combinations
  • modifier+Enter combinations

For such cases there are these sequences:

  • Esc, Enter or Ctrl+x, (Ctrl+)t --- copy the file (dir) name from the cursor to the command line
  • Esc, a or Ctrl+x, (Ctrl+)p --- copy the panel's directory path to the command line

The following combination does this: Alt+Shift+Enter
