I am currently running JabRef-2.10b2 with an Options->BibTeX Key Generator->Default Pattern =
[auth][year:(unk)][shorttitle:abbr:upper] This will set the last name of the author, followed by year, followed by the first letter of the first three non-trivial words (in upper case). That is if there is a year. If not, then it uses unk for the year... If you read up on the documentation of the key generator you can probably figure it out. I am thinking that there is likely a way to do it though.
