Hi

I am the developer of ZoteroQuickLook plugin. I would like to update the plugin to be compatible with Zotero Standalone. Is there currently any mechanism in the standalone to load third-party code? Also, is there a XUL overlay or similar for the new citation dialog?

Same question here... (zotfile and zotfile reader).
I would also be interested to know whether the update mechanism stays
the same (through Mozilla's add-on site).

See http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/changes_in_zotero_3.0#add-on_support_in_zotero_standalone for loading third-party code. You can overlay chrome://zotero/content/integration/quickFormat.xul for the new citation dialog. If you have trouble with anything, feel free to post here or find me on #zotero-dev and I'll see what I can do.

I updated the plugin to support Standalone and QuickFormat. However,
there is a problem:

When user browses the list of articles that appear below the
QuickFormat bar and activates QuickLook, pressing esc closes the
article list instead of closing the QuickLook dialog. I tried a couple
of approaches, but could not figure how to capture the esc key and
prevent it closing the article list.

The code and an xpi are available at
