keyboard shortcut to save item from web

joines
I currently get almost everything into my library by clicking on the page icon in the location bar of Firefox. I would love to be able to do this from the keyboard instead of having to use the mouse.

    look at this:
    https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo
    in combination with keyconfig:

    (you don't actually need Zutilo for that particular functionality, but it lists the function to put into keyconfig)

    Thanks, that worked great. Here's what it involved in case anyone else reads this:

    Install the keyconfig extension from http://mozilla.dorando.at/keyconfig.xpi. Details of this extension are at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=72994.

    Configure the extension to map a key combination to the function Zotero_Browser.scrapeThisPage(). I mapped Alt+Z.

    Now when on a journal article website all I have to do is press Alt+Z to save the item to my library instead of navigating to and clicking on the page item in the Address bar.
