I need to get the citation key inside [ brackets ]

[Saltiola7]

After citing this leaves the active window to zotero not VScode, so I need to click vs code every time after citing.

Also I need to have [ brackets ] around the cite as I got from zotero with cmd+shift+c for proper citation formation. Where can I change the citation to always automatically include brackets?

try add ?format=pandoc&brackets=1 in the extension preferences, it will add brackets. no idea about keeping the zotero background.

add &minimize=true in the end of the url can minimize zotero and back to VS Code after the citation.

?format=pandoc&brackets=1

Does this still apply today? I'm unclear about were this code is inserted; any hints would be appreciated.

It still works, you just need to go the the extension settings of zotero picker, you will see only one line can be editable, then you add &brackets=1&minimize=true, somehow you still have to click the editor window to resume although the zotero picker is minimized. I would recommend another extension, which I use more frequently, i.e., Pandoc citer.

Thanks, that helped! This is what I used (VSCodium)...
