Copy-paste of inline format recognized by RTF Scan?
Hi all,
I'm new to Zotero and trying to figure out how I can use it to free myself from Endnote. The RTF Scan feature will basically allow me to do this, but I am hoping to streamline the process of inserting the inline citations that RTF scan recognizes.
I would like to be able to find a ref in Zotero, hit a keyboard shortcut, then paste the ref into my text document with the format that RFT Scan recognizes. This is basically how I used to work with Endnote, but I can't figure out how to get the inline ref from Zotero and onto my clipboard in the format that RTF Scan recognizes. Any ideas?
Sorry if I have missed something here, or a solution in a different thread, but I can't seem to find anything on this in the documentation. It only talks about typing the format recognized by RTF scan.
With my beginners knowledge, it seems that I could do this with a modified style (set as my Quick Copy style in Zotero preferences), where the inline style uses the curled brackets recognized by RTF Scan rather then the normal smooth brackets. Then I could use the existing Cmd+Shift+A shortcut. A dedicated new shortcut would be great too if it is relatively easy to add (i.e. a dedicated shortcut that mimicking the temporary citation copy-paste function of Endnote).

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
And you're right that you could do it with a custom style until this is implemented.
