Copy/paste with citation and page number

I came cross this nice feature, where pasting text copied from Zotero is supposed to include the citation and page number:

However, I am unable to get this to work (Linux, version 6.0.10). No matter where I paste the text into (e.g., vim, or another zotero annotation), all I get is the selected text without the citation and page number. Is there a setting for this, or am I simply doing something wrong?

    Never mind, I didn't read the post carefully. It seems I have to highlight the text after selecting it.

    Did you highlight the text first, using the "Highlight Text" function? This is a mandatory step in order to get the citation and page number

    Thanks @poettli, indeed I forgot to highlight the text.

    On Windows, Zotero 6.0.35 I need to follow those steps:
    1. Select some text
    2. Highlight it with any color
    3. Click the highlighted text
    4. Press CTRL+C
    5. Paste somewhere and get rid of the Markdown formatting and the text to have a citation in the format (Authors, date, p. page)
