Is there a shortcut for this?

Raphazoni

Hello.
Is there a shortcut to switch between these windows?

I'm reading on the window in the right (the pdf), and I want to register notes quickly. Can you help me?
Thank you, and continue this amazing work!

In the current beta, you can switch between them using ctrl+tab (or even ctrl+number for a specific tab). I think at least the former is also possible in 6.0.30.

More importantly, you can have a note open right next to the PDF on the right -- that's how note taking is intended.

Thank you, solved!
I forgot the note with the PDF on the right, it's great. Nowadays I prefer this switching because the single note panel is much larger.

I recall the existence of a shortcut for selecting a Font style. For example, I want to select text and edit it to became a citation block. What shortcut should I use?

Note take basic markdown formatting, so putting > in front of text turns it into a blockquote, # Heading 1, ## Heading 2, etc.

Raphazoni

Sorry, can you explain? It did not work.

You're missing a space:

Oh, ok, great, it works.
Do you have a link where I can see all the text format shortcuts?

adamsmith

I think this is basically all implemented: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/

In additional you can use latex formula syntax by using $$[space]

I'm not sure if there are Zotero-specific instructions

Raphazoni

Perfect! Thank you! Please continue this fantastic project!

I don't know if it is updated or not, but since people are asking for it in others threads too, here is the developers' post on github about keyboard shortcuts and markdown formatting syntax. Shortcuts are available in the knowledge base but markdown syntax reference is not.
