export one citation to clipboard
If I want to export just one citation, I can right-click, choose "export item" from the menu, and pick a format (and the choice persists!:)), which is super.
However, I then have to choose a place to save it, open the file, swipe, and copy to get it in the clipboard. This isn't a problem unless repeated a few dozen times.
For when I just want to paste it somewhere, it would be nice to have a choice-persistent tickbox to export to the clipboard instead of a file, or failing that a dropdown box to show the entire citation so I could copy it manually.
This would be really useful for Mediawiki editing.

adamsmithyou can select any export format as the default output format for quick copy in the "Export" tab of the Zotero preferences. (Export formats are listed below the citation styles). Once selected, you can just use drag&drop.
