>Another helpful thing would be if one could also keep
the clipboard open, and have it automatically show
the formatted contents. I would sometimes rather read
the human-readable bibliography form of a reference,
rather than the database-oriented list of fields.

Avi has suggested keeping the clipboard open and choosing copy formatted to do
this. I use a QuicKeys sequence which combines the Copy Formatted and Show
Clipboard commands. For any selected reference, I simply press a key (I use
F15) and the formatted citation is displayed instantly. This is very quck, and
convenient, too! Of course you have to have a macro program to do it, but it's
very easy to set up, and only takes a couple of minutes--even for novices like
me.
