Shortcuts to copy bibtex and citation key in Zotero

In Mendeley I can type ctrl+c to copy an article's bibtex entry, and ctrl+k to copy a latex cite command with that article's cite key.

How can I do the same in Zotero? I am running Better Bibtex.

I had the same problem. First, make sure the Better BibTeX add-on works and is there to help you with the quick-copy:

Edit > Prefernences > BetterBibteX > Export > Quick-Copy (to configure):

Quick-copy configuration

Then, in Edit > Preferences > Export > Quick Copy / Item format, pick the right better-bibtex format for you in the dropdown menu:

select_export_format_screenshot

Then your Ctrl + Shift + C should copy the key no problem:
