Feature Request: Export BibTex to clipboard

hy144328 · November 22, 2016

When I want to add an individual entry from my Zotero library to a BibTex file, I have to export into a text file first, open it and copy its contents. In Mendeley, you can just right-click in the library, and copy & paste into your BibTex file. I think this would be a very nifty feature.

You can set Bibtex as default output in quick format and then simply drag&drop or use ctrl+shift+c to copy to the clipboard:

If you do not want to change your default quick format to BibTeX, you can install a BibTeX citation style. This then allows one to use it when selecting the entry and creating a bibliography to the clipboard.

@penguinpreferred where could I find such a style?

That's pretty cool but it doesn't look like it will be replacing BBT in the foreseeable future :) thanks though.
