Export md to clipboard

Open mikebarkmin opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I am using Zotero in combination with Obsidian. I used mdnotes to quickly copy over metadata from my Zotero database into my Vault. For this, I am exporting an item of my library to a temporary md file. Afterward, I copy the content of this md file into my vault.

Describe the solution you'd like For me, it would be much faster, if I could not create a md file but copy the md content directly to the clipboard.

I need this capability too. It will be more convenient if mdnotes support exporting md content to clipboard. Hope to use this capability early.

I'd also very much like that, as my workflow currently is

  1. annotating the pdf
  2. extracting annotations to a note with ZotFile
  3. export to a markdown file
  4. copy the contents into my Obsidian note
  5. delete the temporary file and the link to it inside Zotero

Would be really nice if I could remove 3. and 5. from that list.

This feature would be really useful

Edit: I've just found out that you can copy annotations in new PDF reader (Zotero 6.0) and paste them into Obsidian notes with zotero links by pressing Shift+Ctrl+V. However, I still think this feature would be useful if someone wanted to export annotations to the clipboard using templates.
