    Is there any way to simply add the contents of the clipboard as a new bibtex entry? All the GUI "add new entry" options automatically insert code I don't need (@ARTICLE{, ), so I have to paste in the bibtex code and then go back and delete the pre-formatted stuff. If there was a button for "add entry from clipboard", that would make the interface truly blazing.

      Hi,

      if you click the main table so it has the keyboard focus, you can paste Bibtex formatted text directly.

        This is an awesome feature, but it isn't obvious that it exists - I only found out about it when I discovered this thread.

        I think that it would be great if there was a button/menu option somewhere in the UI that says "New entry from clipboard" - even if it just does the same action as "Paste".
