Thunar incremental search: how to C-c the selected file?

I love Thunar for its keyboard navigation features.  The incremental search (by simply typing the first letters of the file name until the wanted file is selected) is awesome...

...except: how can I copy that selected file?

The input seems still to be in the text box at the bottom right corner of Thunar.

So, C-c (Control+C), the most intuitive way, does not work.
Pressing Return (still at least somewhat logical to press) leaves the text box, but opens the file.
Pressing Esc works, but it is a bit counter intuitive and far away to easily touch type.

So my question: is there any other way to copy a file that has been selected through Thunar's incremental search?
