Display items in subcollections of currently displayed collection #227

Closed ackern closed 2 years ago

ackern commented 2 years ago

I don't know if I'm in the right place. I have a question, not a feature request. Does Zotilo have any easy way to make Zotero display the items in subcollections of the currently displayed collection? The only way I know is to toggle the preference extensions.zotero.recursiveCollections which does what I want except that it's too many clicks. Can Zotilo set a shortcut for it or in some other way achieve the same effect?

Zotero's "Show Items from Subcollections" preference can be toggled in the View menu. You can also use the keyboard for this: "Alt+V" -> "ArrowUp" -> "Enter".

Currently, there's no Zutilo shortcut for this, but I'm not sure it's worth adding one. If you're switching the option frequently, Alt+V will show you the current state, which could be useful, I think. With a Zutilo shortcut you'd be blind about the current state of the option. Alt+V is also easy to remember.

I think Alt+V is the best option for this as explained above, so I'll close the issue.

Please let us know if you think there's a better solution.
