Copy Settings

A set of options related to copying items' references

Always Copy

This option applies to Library Search only. If toggled, when a search result is selected, its reference will be copied to the clipboard - even if Quick Copy isn't in use. The format used to copy the reference will be the default format (see below).

Default Format

This setting will determine the format used in Always Copy, Quick Copy, and the "Copy as default" button when viewing item metadata. You can use one of the presets, or create your own template.

Presets

// Citation
[Author et al. (2022)]([[@itemCitekey]])

// Citekey
@itemCitekey

// Page reference
[[@itemCitekey]]

// Raw
itemCitekey

// Tag
#[[@itemCitekey]]

Custom template

If the presets don't fit your needs, you can also specify a custom template. Here are the replacements you can use:

• {{key}} - the item's citekey (itemCitekey)

• {{authors}} - the item's creators summary (Author et al.)

• {{title}} - the item's title

• {{year}} - the item's year of publication, if available

// [{{authors}} ({{year}})]([[@{{key}}]])
[Author et al. (2022)]([[@itemCitekey]])

// {{=: {{authors}} ({{year}}) | {{embed: [[@{{key}}]] }} }}
{{=: Author et al. (2022) | {{embed: [[@itemCitekey]] }} }}

Override QuickCopy

If the specified key is pressed when selecting an item from Search results, the extension will always show the item's metadata - even if Quick Copy is enabled.

You can use this to occasionally override Quick Copy.

Use Quick Copy (default)

If toggled, Quick Copy will be enabled by default.
