Scholar BibTeX Copier Extension

Automatically copy BibTeX citation, instead of having to open new page, manually copy, and then go back to google scholar.

When clicking this BibTeX button the following happens:
- A new tab opens, with the citation content
- The contents are copied to clipboard
- The tab closes

A slight delay exists here to ensure the contents are properly copied, this delay can be tweaked. This extension will work for any of the Google Scholar BibTeX options, i.e. it will work when clicking the \"cite\"->\"BibTeX\" in Google Scholar, or when citing from the Google Scholar PDF-reader. In short: any existing button in Google Scholar which opens a BibTeX citation, will not be copied in this way.

Note: The Import to BibTeX button shown in the first image must be enabled in the settings (see last image).
