Feature request: easy navigation through collections
Hello,
I've been working with Zotero for a number of years now and I have accumulated a few thousand references that I have sorted in a multitude of collections.
Depending on the project(such as a systematic review) I'm working on there are typically a few collections that I systematically come back to. It would be great if Zotero had the following features:
- custom key shortcuts to instantaneously open a given collection (or the root of a library)
- links to collection to be able to switch between collections without having to scroll up and down the right navigation pane
I hope this request will find its way in the development plan.
Best regards

bwiernikAn option to search collections is planned, which should make it easier to do the sorts of things you want.

dstillmanNote that you the collections pane supports find-as-you-type, so if you want to switch to a given library or collection you can press Cmd-Shift-L/Ctrl-Shift-L to highlight the collections pane and then start typing the name of the library or collection to select it. (If a library was collapsed and you wanted to get to a collection, you'd need to type the name of the library and then press right-arrow or + to expand collections (depending on how nested the one you were looking for was) and then type the collection name.)
