Improving Zotero accesibility

DaniOrama

Hello,

I have been using Zotero for a long time, both for bibliography and file sorting. There could be some changes to make Zotero even better/easier and also allow people who cannot use mouse work with it.

Adding "Show file" in context menu, making supr and shift+supr work for "delete from collection" and "delete from library", copy, cut and paste with keyboard (or context menu) and an undo feature.

Thank you!

Adding "Show file" in context menu

That might be a good idea, but you can also just hit Tab twice (to highlight "Show File") and then hit the spacebar.

making supr and shift+supr work for "delete from collection" and "delete from library"

Supr key is forward-delete, yes? If so, it should work fine already—backspace and forward-delete should be interchangeable.

copy, cut and paste with keyboard (or context menu)

To do what? You can already copy citations and bibliography entries of items to the clipboard using the Quick Copy shortcuts (configurable in the Zotero prefs). Do you mean Windows Explorer–style copying/moving, to copy Zotero items to another collection? I don't think we would implement that, but we probably need an "Add to Collection" menu option.

undo feature

This is planned, along with a Deleted Items folder, but they may not happen for a while.
