Use Zotero in a separate window

zotero-two-screens1

As I’ve written before, I love the free citation manager Zotero.   And the group and sharing features that just dropped as part of v2.0b7, while still a little buggy, are taking the awesomeness up another level.

But one thing about Zotero has always really annoyed me: the horizantally-split screen.  I never feel like I have enough vertical context for either my Zotero library or the web page I’m viewing.   Meanwhile, I’ve got a whole ‘nother monitor just sitting there empty. Some other folks have complained about this too, suggesting a sidebar view for Zotero.

Today, though, I realized that there’s a really obvious solution: just open up a new Firefox window (ctrl+n), put it on my other monitor, and display Zotero full-screen there.  Dual-monitor workflow bliss.
