zoterolens README

Zoterolens scans Markdown files for possible citationkeys and adds links open then with Zotero. Also a convenient option to immediately open the cited pdf-file.

I recommend using it in combination with an extension such as Citation Picker for Zotero, and/or Pandoc Citer to be able to easily add citations.

Features

• CodeLens to open PDF's based on citekey
• CodeLens to select item in Zotero based on citekey

It should find the page number following cases:

• @test123
• @test1.23
• @test123 89
• @test123, 89
• [@test123, 89]
• @test123 [89]
• [@test123, p.89]
• [@test123, pp.89-92]
• [@test123, pp.89--92]

Requirements

• Zotero
• Zotero's Better-Bibtex plugin

Extension Settings

none.

Known Issues / Wishlist

• It does not yet check if the citekey actually exists in Zotero, nor if it actually has any attachment.
  • This should happen before showing the ref.
• No error if Zotero isn't running, or the Better-Bibtex plugin is not configured.
• Does not yet consider the page number of the citation when opening the pdf.
• Zotero port cannot yet be configured.
• explorer TreeView showing references.
• Possibly use CodeAction instead of Lens: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/programmatic-language-features#possible-actions-on-errors-or-warnings
