Feature request: Add keyboard shortcut for "Copy DOI as URL"

Guillaume Gaullier · February 17, 2020

Hello there,

I just discovered reading a GitHub issue [1] that I can copy a fully URL-ized DOI by right-clicking on it in an item's info panel in Zotero. This is great, because I copy DOI links all the time!

It would be even better if there was a keyboard shortcut for this, similar to the default "Copy Selected Items to Clipboard" (Cmd+Shift+C on a Mac), but one that would only copy DOI links (a single link, or a list of links if more than one item is selected). It would only require one additional entry in Preferences / Advanced / Shortcuts.

I hope this can be done, because it would be tremendously useful.

The Zutilo developer should be be able to add a shortcut for this to the plugin. I suggest you open an issue for it on the GitHub page: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo

Thank you for this suggestion.
I just posted the same thing over there: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo/issues/129

One way that you can already do this is using quickcopy and a translator. I think cmd+shift+c is the quickcopy shortcut (ctrl+shift+c elsewhere). Zutilo allows you to do several quickcopy actions (two additional ones).

This doesn't help you if you don't know how to do translators :) but at least it means you don't have to modify the plugin, but can just write some relatively simple javascript.
