Once you have found an entry in the citation picker, Alfred modifier keys let you control exactly what gets pasted into your document — from a plain citekey to a multi-citation bracket with page numbers.Documentation Index

Basic Insertion
Press ↵ on any highlighted entry to paste the citekey in your currently configured citation format. For example, with Pandoc format selected:Multi-Citation
Press ⌥↵ instead of ↵ to add the selected entry to an open citation bracket rather than closing it immediately. You are then returned to the search field to select another entry. When you finish with ↵, all selected citekeys are combined in a single bracket:Inline Citation
Press ⇧⌘↵ to paste the citation without surrounding bracket formatting. This is the “inline” form that some Pandoc documents require for citations that serve as grammatical subjects in a sentence:Page Numbers
Press ⌘↵ to open a page-number prompt before pasting. Type the page number or range and then use one of these confirmations:| Confirmation | Result |
|---|---|
| ⌥↵ | Paste with page number, then return to picker to add another citation |
| ⌘↵ | Paste with page number and close |
| ⇧⌘↵ | Paste as an inline citation with page number, e.g. @Grieser2022 [p. 42] |
Not all formats support every citation action. Inline citations and multi-cite are not available for LaTeX and Multi-Markdown (which use
page_before_citekey mode). Page numbers are not meaningful for wikilinks, tags, and bare citekeys. See Citation Formats for per-format details.URL Actions
Every entry can carry a URL or DOI. The following actions open or copy that link:| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| ⌃↵ | Open the entry’s URL in your default browser |
| ⌘C | Copy the entry’s URL to the clipboard |
doi field but no url field, the picker automatically constructs a https://doi.org/… link and uses that instead.
