In 10.10, when opening a directory in Nautilus, I was wondering how to copy the current path?
My address bar, pictured here, is not copyable:

Assuming you are using 11.10:
Install the dconf-tools
package and then open
dconf-editor:
Navigate to org ➜ gnome ➜ nautilus ➜ preferences and check the always-use-location-entry checkbox:
I cannot find an easy way of getting nautilus to tell you this. However, there are other ways of finding out.
In Ubuntu 12.10, the "actual path" is under /run/user/USERNAME/gvfs. In 12.04, I think it was under /home/USERNAME/.gvfs (invisible unless you check View->Show Hidden Files in nautilus). The folder names inside these directories look something like smb-share:server=servername.local,share=volume_1.

I'd say the quickest way is to press Ctrl+L, then you can copy it (Ctrl+C).
