I’m happy to say that the ability to customize the pattern of your BibTeX keys is now available in [beta](https://forum.paperpile.com/t/the-new-paperpile-now-in-private-beta/8294). After signing up, waiting for your data to sync and activating the new Paperpile web app, go to **Settings \> Feature Preview** where you can switch on the new “Customize BibTeX citation keys” feature. After doing that, go to **Settings \> General** in the new app to set your citation pattern.
