Duplicate a file/folder

[khaitranhq]

Like the title, can you create a function and mapping to a key to duplicate a selected file/folder?
For example, I want to duplicate a file that has the directory /a/b/file.txt, it should create a new file with the directory /a/b/file_copy.txt.

Should be possible to write function using provided API. Please have a look if you can put something together, I can try at some point next week maybe.

A predefined function to map a key against would be nice

I'm not sure we really need nvim-tree for that; :w file_copy.txt will do the job.

Thank you @alex-courtis. I'm having a busy month so I will try this feature later.
