can you improve the length of the Citation Key in Chinese

[zoushucai]

• Key generation enhancement
• enhancement

Let Citation Key format: [auth:lower][year][veryshorttitle:lower]

However, the Citation Key of Chinese literature is too long. I hope to use only the first one or two character in title,

eg: Article links

**Expected behavior: zhangqisheng2018jiyu **

**Actual behavior: zhangqisheng2018jiyufenjiesixiangdeduomubiaojinhuasuanfayanjiu **

It looks like you did not upload an debug report. The debug report is important; it gives @retorquere your current BBT settings and a copy of the problematic reference as a test case so he can best replicate your problem. Without it, @retorquere is effectively blind. Debug reports are useful for both bug analysis and enhancement requests; in the case of export enhancements, I need the copy of the references you have in mind.

This request is much more likely than not to apply to you, too, even if you think it unlikely, and even if it does not, there's no harm in sending a debug log that turns out to be unnecessary. @retorquere will more often than not just end up saying "please send a debug log first". Let's just skip over the unnecesary delay this entails. Sending a debug log is very easy:

1. If your issue relates to how BBT behaves around a specific reference(s), such as citekey generation or export, select at least one of the problematic reference(s), right-click it, and submit an BBT debug report from that popup menu. If the problem is with export, please do include a sample of what you see exported, and what you expected to see exported for these references.

2. If the issue does not relate to references and is of a more general nature, generate an debug report by restarting Zotero with debugging enabled (Help -> Debug Output Logging -> Restart with logging enabled), reproducing your problem, and selecting "Send Better BibTeX debug report..." from the help menu.

Once done, you will see a debug ID in red. Please post that debug id in the issue here.

Thank you!

Without the requested debug log, I can only guess at what you want. You could try [auth:lower][year][Title:split-ideographs:select=1,3:lower]. If you want something else, I'll need a debug log as outlined above.

Wow, that's just what I want, thank you,
