"cb2bib takes the contents of your desktop clipboard and puts it
into a BibTeX database, working automatically to put information
into the correct format if you are lucky, or with your manual input
if you are not. Since your manual input is added to the automatic
search patterns, in theory the automatic formatting should improve
as you use cb2bib, although in practice I was unable to detect any
improvement. Possibly I did not use it long enough for major
improvements to happen.
"The c2bib window is dominated by fields for bibliographical
information. While that arrangement might seem reasonable at first,
in practice you might wish for a larger field for viewing clipboard
information if you have to do any manual formatting. As things are,
the clipboard viewing field can only display three lines at a time,
which can be inconvenient if you are working with more than two or
three of bibliographical references at the same time. Below the
clipboard viewer is a field for the path to the BibTeX database,
and, below that, a toolbar of buttons. The toolbar is carelessly
organized, with the exit button in the middle, but, unlike the
clipboard viewer, at least large enough to be convenient for
use."
