Description

This video of mine:

  • shows how Zotero Picker + Better BibTeX can be used to CAYW (Cite As You Write) with TeXstudio (tested only on Linux, though),
  • is based on a Macro Script but, IMO, it is worth for it to be integrated to TXS, just as LanguageTool is. Note this requires curl which is available on numerous OSes, including the ones where TXS is available.

WDYT?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked video and the Macro Script described in the issue, then compare the proposed workflow with TeXstudio's existing LanguageTool integration. The issue provides no source file or test entry point; done would require an agreed design for integrating Zotero Picker and Better BibTeX CAYW support into TXS, including the curl dependency.
