Shortcut Keys
This pane allows the user to change Zotero's default keyboard shortcuts.
Open/Close Zotero Pane - Shows/hides the Zotero pane
Toggle Fullscreen Mode - Changes whether the Zotero pane takes up the full browser window, or just a portion of it
Library - Sets the focus to your Zotero library
Quick Search - Sets the focus to the search box
Create a New Item - Creates a new blank item in the current collection
Create a New Note - Creates a new standalone note in the current collection
Toggle Tag Selector - Shows/hides the tag selector
Copy Selected Item Citations to Clipboard - Copies an inline citation for the selected item(s) to the clipboard. (Depending on the style, this could be long and detailed or, if the style demands footnotes, simply a number.)
Copy Selected Items to Clipboard - Copies the full bibliographic citation for the selected item(s) to the clipboard
Import from Clipboard - Imports items from the raw code of any supported format (RIS, BibTeX, etc.) stored in the clipboard
Try to override conflicting shortcuts - Other Firefox add-ons may rely on the same keyboard shortcuts as Zotero. This feature may save you the trouble of finding and disabling the shortcut in the other add-on, assuming that's even an option. (Because Zotero is clearly far more important!)
Any changes made to this page will only take effect when a new browser window is opened.
