Description
Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe.
Some authors have double names separated by a whitespace or a hyphen which generates long citation keys. Truncating the keys after N characters leads to more or less cryptic keys.
Describe the solution you'd like
To have more natrual keys I'd like to have a key marker that truncates the authors last name after the first non-ASCII character. I tried achiving this through a regex but did not succeed.
