Mac: control-option-e causes error
I am using the beta version of Zotero (for the Safari connector) and now I am getting errors when trying to edit citations, Zotero tells me I need to place the cursor in a Zotero field - but the cursor was there.
Using the Zotero buttons in the Zotero tab in Word works fine, it is just the keyboard command which causes the error.

Why does the other Macro no longer work - it used to. Is this from an old version? I recently had to upgrade to the latest beta to be able to use the Safari connector, is this the problem?
You should make sure you haven't accidentally flattened your citations. If you have, clicking the toolbar button would bring up an empty citation dialog (since it's "Add" too) rather than one that's populated with the existing citation. ZoteroEditCitation would display an error because there's no citation at the cursor position.
The cursor moved to the footnote number inside the main text and selected that and then I received the error message. This has never happened before, but it happened after I installed the recent beta (because I had the problem of the Zotero extension being gone after I updated Safari).
Using the toolbar button worked fine with exactly the same placement of the cursor, with the existing citiation (and not empty).
Whatever, it is probably a good idea to use the newer extensions. Perhaps the old ones were really, really old. I didn't even realise I was still using old ones.
Can I delete those old Macros, and how would I do that?
