Shortcut for ‘additional fields' menu?

sskora
Hello,
I'm using Zotero with Word Version 16.32 for Mac.
Since I like using shortcuts for everything, I configured that I can insert a new citation or edit an existin citation with ctrl+c.
But I often have to add a page number or a prefix to the citations, which I do in the menu that opens when you click on the citation in this red framed window.
Is there a shortcut to open this 'additional fields' menu/window for page and prefix/suffix?

Best regards
Sebastian

    Yes. Here's the guidance that appears the first time you use the citation dialog:
    After you've made your selection, click the bubble or press Cmd-↓ to add page numbers, prefixes, or suffixes. You can also include a page number along with your search terms to add it directly.
    (It's Ctrl-↓ on Windows/Linux.)

    If you open the popup, you can Tab/Shift-Tab between fields. (There's an open ticket to make it focus the page number field automatically like it used to.)

    As it says, if you want to add a page number, the easiest thing is to just do that as part of the search string. If you want to do it while editing a citation without opening the popup, it's also possible to just type "p123" if you move around first with the left/right arrows, but the left/right part shouldn't be necessary, so we'll try to fix it to allow you to type "p123" immediately after bringing up the dialog.

    We've fixed this in the latest Zotero beta.
