“Copy Selected Items to Clipboard” (Cmd+Shift+C) no longer works

nickbart · July 1, 2015

After upgrading to 4.0.27.1, neither “Copy Selected Items to Clipboard” (Cmd+Shift+C on a Mac) nor “Copy Selected Item Citations to Clipboard” (Cmd+Shift+A) work any more. Other Cmd+Shift+… shortcuts do not seem to be affected.

Are you able to submit a report ID after attempting to use those shortcuts? https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems#provide_a_report_id

What do you have set under Preferences -> Export -> Quick Copy ?

I have this same problem.

Error report: 2055101536

Under Preferences > Export, I have the default output set to APA 6th edition, in English. "Copy as HTML" is unchecked. I have no Stie-Specific Settings. And Disable Quick Copy when dragging is set to 50 items. Display character encoding is unchecked.

Thanks for your help!

Looks like this happens in tab mode. If you temporarily switch out of tab mode, it will work. This is fixed for 4.0.27.2, which should be out soon. Thanks for reporting.

Fixed in Zotero 4.0.27.2, available now.

I can't use this function (ctrl+shift+C) even after updated to 4.0.27.2 in tab mode. Could someone confirm it too?
