![]() ![]() Even so, I find Keyboard Maestro can be a little overwhelming at times. I am slowly coming to terms with some of the intricacies of macOS automation. Open Closed Access Journals with EZProxy and Keyboard Maestro Here are a couple of simple methods for doing the same thing using macOs automation tools. All it does is copy the EZproxy address 1 to the start of a url to give you access to resources via your own university library. It’s a simple trick to short circuit the tedious cut and paste method. I shared an iOS Shortcut recently for opening academic journal articles via EZProxy. You need to use one of the earlier versions. Important: If you are an iOS only user, and do not maintain your Zotero database on a desktop, this shortcut will not work for you. #Pdfpen automator action downloadDownload Zotero Better BibTeX Shortcut Zotero Better BibTeX The shortcut should run fine from the share sheet, but the best way to use these shortcuts is via the widget.Īs always, any problems drop me a line.If you want to use the shortcut with multiple text editors, delete the final ‘open in app’ action and use multitasking to paste the keys.You can also look at other versions of these Zotero shortcuts that use a collection instead of the library. The Zotero documentation includes examples of how the URL should look. If you want it to search a particular collection, it is easy enough to change the URL for the API call. Unlike the previous shortcuts, this version searches the entire library by default.This is the most common reason the shortcut doesn’t work Make sure your keys are ‘pinned’ on the desktop, if they have an asterisk next to them they will not get written to the web database, meaning the shortcut will break.For most people that won’t matter, but if have other plugins running there is always a chance the crude regular expression I have written to extract the keys will run into problems. Better BibTeX writes custom citations keys to an ‘extra’ field.If you already use Better BibTeX and you’re looking for an iOS solution, you may find this useful. Or if you want a visual guide, for anything to do with plain scholarship using Zotero I recommend the excellent tutorials by Nicholas Cifuentes-Goodbody If you don’t use it already, you can look into it here. But I digress, the point is Better BibTex improves Zotero significantly, and I find it to be the best way of dealing with Pandoc citations. The Zotero desktop app is a glorified browser, and an ugly one at that, whereas Bookends is a powerful native app. ![]() 1ĭespite the importance of both those things, if it wasn’t for the Better BibTex plugin I would almost certainly be using Bookends. The web API allows me to build these shortcuts, but more importantly Zotero is an antidote to the closed and proprietary reference management systems of big academic publishers. There are a couple simple but important reasons I use Zotero, and the standard BibTeX support is not one of them. If you need more detail, read on, otherwise the shortcut can be downloaded below. I know a fair few people have been waiting on this, apologies it has taken so long to post. This is the long awaited iOS Shortcut for Zotero to extract Better BibTeX citation keys for Pandoc. ![]()
