Adding simple "Copy" in addition to "Copy preview" to right-click menu of preview

[mpatas]

Perhaps it would be worth to add a simple "Copy" in addition to "Copy preview" to right-click menu of preview pane. Sometimes it is convenient to copy just a part of preview (selected beforehand), and to use right-click menu for that, as in many other programs. But in JabRef (version 5.1) right-click menu only allows one to copy the whole preview. By the way, Ctrl-C still works, and thus is a workaround.

I would find this feature also very useful! Especially when one wants to copy only a part of the preview (e.g. without abstract)

Is this the proposed behaviour?

[Siedlerchr]

Yes! that is the desired behavior!

@mpatas Thanks to @tmrd993 this issue is now fixed in the latest master!

We would like to ask you to use a development build from https://builds.jabref.org/master and report back if it works for you. Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.

I now use the new "Copy Preview" feature all the time. Several times every day.

Thank you!
