Hi, I use Zotero between computers.
I use BetterBibtex plugin. I have my library on two computers
While on Mac for different non-paper entries I have citekeys like zotero-1234, the same entries on windows have non-defined citekeys (citekeys appear as �)
How I could solve that?

    If you want your citation keys to sync between setups, you should use BBT's autoPinDelay option. (This was formerly known as the autopin option.) With 'autoPinDelay' set to a positive integer number N, the citation key will be written to the Extra field N seconds after it is generated. Only citation keys in Extra will sync.

    For me, citation keys only appear as � for items in the trash. If this is not the case for you, there might be a problem. You could open an issue on github. The BBT developer should be interested in troubleshooting the problem.

    @danieltomasz did encounter a problem in citekey generation that I have found & fixed, but the � in the Trash is expected; � just means "no citekey assigned", and items that go to the trash relinquish their citekey.
