I have tried unsuccessfully to copy the pwd to pbcopy as follows
pwd | !pbcopy
How can you copy your path in Vim's ED editor (: -mode)?

A:
A lot of ways
in terminal
pwd | !pbcopy
and then in vim
"*p
in vim
:!r pwd
or in insert mode
<C-R>=getcwd()<CR>
or
<C-R>=system('pwd')<CR>
Current file location to the clipboard
:let @*=expand('%:p:h')
Current vim dir to the clipboard
:let @*=getcwd()

I did not get the last two commands to work.

while you type press Ctrl+r and then type 'getcwd()' and press enter.

Do you mean to use at Vim : -mode the pwd | !pbcopy? It does not copy the path for me.

Why not :!pwd|pbcopy?
Use the command
cd
to the current working directory if needed with the command
lcd %:p:h

@jmdeldin: What do you mean with the last command? I did not get it to work in Vim.

It lets you change Vim's current working directory. For example: $ cd ~/Documents $ vim ../.vimrcVim's `cwd == ~/Documents/`, so you could `:lcd %:p:h` so `cwd = ~/`. Does that help?
