Limited folder name edition
Hi,
First of all, thanks for your work, Zotero 6 is really good.
My only concern is the limited editing of folder names compared to the previous version of Zotero: I can't easily edit a folder name because I can't set the cursor position with my mouse pointer, I can only use keyboard arrows to move the cursor. Therefore, I cannot select a part of the name to delete/copy it. Similarly, I cannot copy the text of the folder name at all. These are very important features for me, because I use a large folder arborizations with long names, and I always need to copy the folder names because the same subfolders are usually duplicated in several the "main" folders. For now, I use an external text editing software in addition to handle the editing/copying of folder names, but I'm sad to have lost theses functionalities with the upgrade.
Last question which is a bit of a suggestion for future features: would it be possible to copy/paste an entire folder arborization. For example if a folder named "x" contains 3 subfolders with multiple items, would it be possible to copy/paste the folder "x" into another folder ?
Thanks in advance,
Antoine

Re: copying, you can use Ctrl/Cmd-C to copy in the meantime, and you can select part of the name with arrow keys and Shift.
Also, the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V shortcuts (Windows user) do not work to copy and paste text from the folder name text field. The selected text appears blue and flashes/blinks when I use the shortcuts, but nothing more happens and the copy buffer is not changed. As for the first problem (closing the text field when I left or right click), it only happens when I try to modify the text of a folder already created and named and not during the initial creation process (launch by "new collection" function).
Best,
