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. :-) pedro....-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org schrieb am Samstag, 7.
