[Feature Request] Show collections in which item appears

Arcanewinds

Hi there,

First of all, thank you for developing this reference manager, it is integral to my work and productivity.

I have a feature request to make which I believe would make a great addition to the functionality of the stand-alone app.

When searching for items in 'My Library' I would like to be able to find out which collections an item appears in. I have several projects represented by collections with subcollections of items, sometimes items appear will in several collections or should (and don't yet). As a result of this plurality and the sheer number of collections, I sometimes find it difficult to find exactly which subcollection(s) contains an item I seek. Searching does indeed allow me to access the item, but I'd find it very useful to be able to examine which collections contain a particular item more easily. Perhaps this could be added a right-click function for an item.

I hope you'll consider this feature for a future release.

Best wishes,
Tim

Ignore my question: I wasn't expecting it to highlight in the left pane. I see it now.

I'm on Windows 10 and for some reason holding down the Control key doesn't seem to work for me as per the kb link. Any other suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Maybe you have Zotero-night plugin. You can check it by disabling this add-on.
