Zotero does not have default keyboard shortcuts in Word. However, you can create your own keyboard shortcuts:

  • Open Word and go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon

  • From this window, you will see "Keyboard Shortcuts: Customize" at the bottom

  • Click on "Customize"

  • Under "Categories," scroll all the way down to the bottom to find "Macros" and select it

  • Under "Macros," scroll all the way down to the bottom to find ZoteroAddEditBibliography, ZoteroAddEditCitation, etc.

  • Select/highlight the preferred operation, e.g. ZoteroAddEditCitation, and then "Specify the Keyboard Sequence" by placing your cursor in the "Press New Shortcut Key" field and enter your keyboard sequence

  • If you choose a sequence that is already being used for a different shortcut, it will show up under the "Current Keys" field as "Currently Assigned To [...]"

  • Keep in mind that you can overwrite a sequence so you might not want to overwrite a sequence you commonly use

You can find these instructions with images at http://bit.ly/hotkeys-word-zotero.
