Is the citation key created by Better BibTex?

Just so that I understand the relationship between Zotero, Better BibTex and Quarto.

This thing:

is created by Better BibTex, not by Zotero itself, right?

    Yes that’s correct

    Also a tip for working with Quarto—you should use CSL-JSON or CSL YAML to export your data from Zotero/BBT to Quarto, not BibTeX or BibLaTeX. When Quarto/pandoc formats your citations, it needs to convert BibTeX data into CSL format. This isn’t a perfect conversion, and items other than journal articles and books will usually be at least somewhat incorrect.
