Making References in a Note

abcepsilon

Is there a possibility to make a reference to an item in my library in the notes of another item?

188BET靠谱吗Yes, there's an Insert Citation button in the new note editor in Zotero 6.It will be preserved as an active citation if you insert the note into a word processor document using the new Add Note button.

Is there a similar way to insert a reference in a note added to the pdf in the pdf viewer?

@alexander.winkler: No, sorry.Annotations use a much simpler editor that doesn't support citations.Not impossible we'll be able to support them at some point, but no guarantees.

ok, I understand, thank you!

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the "insert citation" button in the markdown note interface/editor?188BET靠谱吗I have scoured google, the official zotero help pages for shortcuts, and looked through zutilo, but I cannot find anything for this.

188BET靠谱吗It is a small thing, but as a heavy keyboard user, who uses a lot of cross-referencing in my zotero notes, it would be great to be able to add citations using the keyboard.

I noticed when you are inside of the note editor, when you press esc, focus switches to top bar of editor.Then I tab through it to add citation.Also you can use Alt+F10 to focus toolbar.188BET靠谱吗And in Zotero 7, you can write a script with Action and Tags plugin for the function.

Agree with @SorenKF- this is a small thing, but agree that it interrupts the otherwise excellent note-taking flow!
