[feature suggestion]: display note content in the main window

leiswang · July 5, 2022

similar to endnote, user can browser the beginning of the notes just at the main window. Currently Zotero only has the option to display the number the notes e.g. 1, 2, 3, even after an item is expended. Most of the time, I try to recall which entry item i had made a note, I have to click on each item to see the notes. In Endnote, I can quick eye ball the main window to find out the note I was searching for. Thanks very much.

You can click an item in the middle pane and press + on the keyboard to expand all items, which will show you the first line of every note.

if the note is added to the PDF attachment directly, not a separate note, this + way doesn't apply. I have many PDF only entries without a patent item. Thanks
