Collection locator not working in Windows

The advice given below is not working for me now on a Windows 7 machine. Selecting an item and holding down the Ctrl key does nothing.

How can I see what collections my item is in?

To see all the collections an item is in, select the item and then hold down the “Option” key (Mac OS X), “Control” key (Windows), or “Alt” key (Linux). This will highlight all collections that contain the selected item.

To include subcollections, expand all collections by clicking in the collections pane and pressing the ”+” (plus) key.
  • Some people have reported this being a bit finnicky on Windows, but it does work. Make sure you hold the key for a while. Also make sure that you can actually see the collection the respective item is in - Zotero will not scroll/jump to the right location in the collection tree.
