Add "copy" to contextual menu
Currently I can use drag and drop to create bibliography entries from zotero items in my text editor. However, drag and drop is problematic if Firefox and the text editor are both full screen since I cannot use Expose and drag and drop at the same time. A solution would be to add a new item "copy" to the contextual menu of zotero items. This would enable me to use the work flow that I normally do: 1) copy something from program A 2) use expose to switch to program B 3) paste the copied thing in program B)
I know that I can drag and drop while using cmd+tab application switcher, so this is more of an usability suggestion.

Copy could be just a wrapper to Generate bibliography with the default format and placing it in the clipboard.

Please don't get me wrong, I like the software a lot and recommend it to others. This post was not critique of the software but a suggestion on how to make it easier for a new user to learn how to use it.

From the perspective of usability and new users, it is a good thing if the software works in a similar way as other software that you are familiar with.
