Upgrade Storage[Feature request] button to export bibtex citation on clipboard
Hey everyone,
I'd like to propose a new feature, that will take an intern like a few hours to implement lol and that will be very very useful on my daily life as a researcher.
When I'm writing a paper, I'd like to be able to browse trough my Zotero library and quickly extract a Bibtex citation to my clipboard with a simple button, or a right-clic.
For my knowledge, this is actually not possible on Zotero. Now it's pretty painful, like you have to export a .bib file that contains the only reference you're looking for. Then you have to save that file somewhere, open it on notepad, copy it, paste it where you want, then remove the created file.... Well you got my point, there could be a better user experience with the help of a single button.

- The Better BibTeX plugin has added a "Copy BibTeX to clipboard" in the right-click menu on items:

- The Actions & Tags plugin can assign a different shortcut to additional quick copy formats, if you want to keep the standard Quick Copy to copy a formatted reference for example:
