BibTex citation keys for words with hyphen/dash
Hello everyone,
I am using Zotero Standalone with BetterBibTex to manage my bibliography.
I have BetterBibTex automatically generate citation keys, and would like them to be in the format: author_first-word-of-title_year.
So far I have specified the citation key format as
[auth:lower]\_[veryshorttitle]_[year]
in the Zotero->BetterBibTex preferences following the advice given here , which works fine in most cases.
However, for titles that begin with a hyphenated word, the automatic key generation skips the first element of the word and generates a key based on the element of the second element. So a reference like
Author, Between-group competition, 2010
generates the key:
author_group_2010
Instead, I would like to have a key generated that concatenates the two elements of the hyphenated word, i.e.
author_betweengroup_2010
(this was how BetterBibTex behaved previous to an update in the beginning of the year).
Does anyone know the BetterBibTex/Jabref key formatting commands to achieve this?

maxleosedited August 24, 2016Thank you for your advice. As it's just me not knowing the correct syntax and not a problem with Better BibLatex, I'm not sure opening an issue is appropriate. I tried it anyway, and re-posted the question here: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/issues/551 .
