Zutilo is a Zotero plugin that adds power-user editing features such as tag batch operations, item relations, clipboard export, and keyboard shortcuts. It is distributed as an .xpi add-on and customizable through a preferences window.

Use cases

• batch copy, paste, or remove tags on Zotero items
• relate multiple Zotero items via right-click
• copy Zotero items to clipboard in various formats
• add keyboard shortcuts for Zotero item editing
• hide or show Zotero UI elements with shortcuts
• customize which menu items appear in Zotero

When to choose

• you are a heavy Zotero user needing batch tag editing
• you want keyboard-driven workflows in Zotero
• you need to copy items to the clipboard in multiple citation formats
• you want to link many items as related at once

When to avoid

• you use Zotero 7+ and rely on keyboard shortcuts, which are partially broken
• you need a plugin guaranteed to stay compatible with future Zotero releases
• you only need basic Zotero features already in the core app
