Focus on the central panel

rutyggi
How can I focus on the central panel (the one with the papers) using the keyboard?

The [documentation](https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/keyboard_shortcuts) has only a keyboard shorcut to focus on the left pane.

Currently to focus on the central pane I have to do CTRL+SHIFT+L to focus on the left pane, and then click TAB 4 (four) times.

I can't even figure out what is being focused the first three times.

    Not natively in Zotero, but the Zutilo add-on has a configurable short cut to "focus Item pane," that for me works to focus on the center panel (not clear on terminology here, I thought the item panel was on the right)
    I can't even figure out what is being focused the first three times.
    It goes into the tag selector -- 1. tags, 2. tag search 3. tag options

    Thank you very much!

    It looks like in Zutilo parlance, "Item pane" is the right panel, while "Items pane" is the central one (notice the additional `s` in the end).

    For future reference, the item to bind is called "Items pane: Focus".

    For some reason, if I bind it to CTRL+SHIFT+K, it doens't issue any warning, but the search bar is focused instead of the panel.

    It works if I bind it to CTRL+SHIFT+J ...

    Edit: Thanks for pointing out the s, I had indeed missed that.

    CTRL+Shift+K is Zotero's built in focus on the quick search bar, so that's just Zutilo missing the conflict for some reason.

    They say Zotero uses different ways to register shortcuts: https://github.com/wshanks/Zutilo/issues/238#issuecomment-1270852380
