Here is what I find: If I put the below snippet in a javascript buffer and do a M-x send-region, I am able to retrieve the library and key of the selected item. #+begin_src javascript repl.whereAmI() var ZoteroPane = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator).getMostRecentWindow("navigator:browser").ZoteroPane; var selected_items = ZoteroPane.getSelectedItems(); new String(selected_items.length); selected_items[0].libraryID; selected_items[0].key; #+end_src Here is transaction log: ,---- From *MozRepl* | | Welcome to MozRepl. | | - If you get stuck at the "...>" prompt, enter a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line to force evaluation. | - If you get errors after every character you type, see http://github.com/bard/mozrepl/wikis/troubleshooting (short version: stop using Microsoft telnet, use netcat or putty instead) | | Current working context: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul | Current input mode: syntax | | repl> [object ChromeWindow] - Document title: "fbennett / citeproc-js / source Bitbucket - Mozilla Firefox" | 1 — {0: "1"} | | repl> 579241 | | repl> "TPSFKWXK" | | repl> `---- The problem is in zotero-js-write-to-file. The problem happens even after I increase the sleep out time to 1 sec. See the attached backtrace with With M-x toggle-debug-on-quit RET and a C-g I wonder whether the issue is related to we - Matt(?), Christian(?) and I - using Windows. As can be seen from the transaction log, the shell interaction is fine. I am inclined to think that it has something to do with zotero.el. I am wondering whether there is a way to "capture" the selected item as a zotero link through the jsbridge interface. Anyways with massaging of org-protocol we can get a zotero "select" link by viewing the "report" of the current item.
