Shortcut/Macro to Cite the Previously Cited Source Again

sempleno
Hello!

Is there a Zotero keyboard shortcut in Word that will cite the last source that I cited, without having to search for it again in the search window?

I just switched from EndNote to Zotero and so far I am loving it. this is the ONLY thing that Endnote has that Zotero seems to lack.

Thanks very much for your help
Noel

    You can type "ibid" into the citation dialog.

    Thanks dstillman, this is a helpful shortcut that I didn't know about before. It seems to to re-cite the source cited immediately above in my document. However what I'm really hoping for is something that will re-cite the last thing I cited, even if I did so in a different place in my document.

    I ask because when I am using a source I often want to copy out chunks of text from it, and paste them in various places within my personal notes document. Each time
    I paste a chunk of text I want to include a citation so that I will know where that chunk of text came from. In Endnote I could just hit Ctrl-2 every time and it would keep on inserting the same citation, no matter where I was pasting it inside my notes document. Do you by any chance know if Zotero has something like this?

    Thanks again for your help; I really appreciate it!!
