A Lazy Man's zotero

antingxu
I wish I could use zotero as the following way:

When I am serving the internet, zotero automatically adds the items it recognizes, and puts them all into a category called "uncategorized". When I call zotero by "Ctrl+Alt+Z", I can see the "uncategorized" category first and classify all the items I want.

It should also has a button to clear all uncategorized items. So I can easily clean the unrelated items.

    @antingxu: It seems that capturing *everything,* if you could do it, would be pretty resource intensive (CPU for sure, perhaps also bandwidth). Depending on what you are browsing, Zotoero can recognize a lot, especially if you factor in the lists/folders from search results. On my computer that would bring Firefox to its knees, and it would be a lot of work to clean up afterwards! I'm not sure it'd be best for *this* lazy man. What might work nicely would be if Zotero would just alert me when it recognizes an item, and then give me a one-click way to put that into my collection. *That'd* be the perfect lazy-man's Zotero.

    Oh, wait...

    (I do however like the idea of built-in unclassified/untagged item collections)
