shortcut for copying a url link in the name of bibtexkey

[jhshinn]

This is a sort of feature request.
It would great if JabRef provides a shortcut key for copying the url in the name of bibtexkey.
During discussion with other people in email, I've encountered many occasions that I should direct them to some articles.
I think the url link is useful for this purpose, especially in the name of bibtexkey. e.g. Zaritsky(1994)AJ_108_1619

copying the url in the name of bibtexkey.

What do you mean by that? Can you please elaborate?

I think, when issuing the new "copy key and link" command, a RTF/HTML should be copied.

<a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1994AJ....108.1619Z">Zaritsky(1994)AJ_108_1619</a>

The content of href should be taken from the URL field, the content of the link text is the bibtex key.

[simonharrer]

Ah ok. Should be straight forward then.

@simonharrer I'm sorry not to clarify it enough. It is as @koppor described. Thanks much, @koppor

I will close this as everything seems to be done.

This is now implemented in the latest development version. Note that not every applications support HTML content in the clipboard and thus paste does not always work (e.g. the link appears in Word but not in Notepad). Could you please check the build from http://builds.jabref.org/master/. Thanks! Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version.

Thanks much for your excellent job! I've found that the "copy bibtex key and link" function of the recent build works properly on Windows 10, but not on Ubuntu 16.04 as before. I could not paste anything on Ubuntu. I've checked the function in the new message window of Gmail.
