Deploy Zotero in Sidebar

Most people are using wide screens.

Zotero takes much space away by deploying in the bottom region of the window. Reports from Zotero are arranged in a narrow form, and most websites are not optimized for wide displays.

Being able to open Zotero on the side (left or right) of the browser window would make it more attractive and space-efficient. Just leave the choice to the users in the preferences.

Users would be able to leave it open and still have a look at their library while browsing. I find myself closing zotero or reducing its size too often just because it takes away too much space, and that limits its usefulness.
