Keyboard shortcuts for field searching

Feature requests

When you want to search a folder for words in citation title, author, year and so on, it’s a bit tedious to have to type title: author: etc. It would be much more convenient if you could use a keyboard shortcut (eg dot t to bring up title:, .a to bring up author: etc)

That is what is happening in this 30 sec video

.t > title: .a > author .y > year

In my case this is achieved by using FastKeys (and could do something similar using Autohotkey if on Windows) but it would be good if this capability was built in

@Rob_Penfold thanks for the feedback and video! This would indeed be neat. I’ve noted it down on our tracker for the team to consider over future updates.
