I use Zotero with BetterBibTeX (BBT) to manage my references and generate 
.bib / .json files. 

For text editing I use Emacs to write in Markdown and have incorporated 
helm-bibtex to allow me to enter citations easily: 
https://github.com/tmalsburg/helm-bibtex

I'm not certain that this kind of set-up will solve your problem (as I use 
pretty standard Zotero styles for my citekeys), but as others have noted, 
BBT allows you to change the formatting of citekeys. I haven't experimented 
too much with helm-bibtex, but it works well with Emacs. Emacs is kind of a 
world in itself to get into, but I am comforted at least by the probability 
that it won't disappear any time soon and I can continue using my hard-won 
knowledge till at least the end of my academic career. :-)
