Efficient workflow without separate Zotero menu?

I've recently upgraded to the current version of Word for Mac. The new layout is fine in principle, but I don't want to need to click back and forth between menus every time that I want to insert a new citation or make text bold, etc. Are there some preferred efficient methods to use it like this? Maybe add keyboard shortcuts to the Zotero functions?
(Previously in Word 2011, I had a separate toolbar floating above the interface so I could click that or the normal formatting or other options at the same time. Now it's Zotero or something else, unless I click back and forth.)

I've found that I can add the add/edit citation macro to the 'quick access toolbar' so it's always visible (the others aren't used often enough that I can't navigate to them as needed). That seems reasonable, unless there are other suggestions!

You can also add keyboard shortcuts to all Zotero functions in Word: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_shortcuts#word_for_mac_2016_and_newer
