The current behaviour is to split words at whitespace, resulting in non-word characters ending up as part of words in the IDs, which can break autosuggestion in editors and generally doesn't look nice. IDs should be concise and not contain special characters as they are used for in-code referencing. If a user wants special characters in between words in IDs, there is a configuration option already provided in the ID suggestion editor. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use the following example bibtex entry: @article{testarticle, author = {Doe, John}, title = {{Long-Term Measurements: A Better Technique}}, year = {2020} } 2. Create an ID suggestion like "Alw00|Y|Tlw01" (taken from ~/.config/kbibtexrc) (first lowercased author, 4-digit year, then all title words with small words removed) and set it as default. 3. Format the ID of the entry. OBSERVED RESULT The ID is formatted as "doe2020long-termmeasurements:bettertechnique" EXPECTED RESULT ID gets formatted as "doe2020longtermmeasurementsbettertechnique" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS up-to-date Manjaro XFCE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION kbibtex-git built from the AUR with this PKGBUILD fix: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kbibtex-git/#comment-754938 1942529 1 fischer 2020-07-08 19:16:26 +0000 Patch is under way, see merge request 1 at invent.kde.org: https://invent.kde.org/office/kbibtex/-/merge_requests/1 1942599 2 fischer 2020-07-09 10:04:40 +0000 Git commit 6d6ba2fb63308b4f929a94741ea32d0f066b0925 by Thomas Fischer, on behalf of Yann Büchau.
