BibDesk is very verasatile. And not everything that can be done in all detail can be answered on the wiki. And actually the questions you ask are not about BibDesk, but about bibtex. So the BibDesk wiki won't answer them. > > 1) How can I control output of the TeX formating shown in Bibdesk Preview to > match Chicago Manual of Style? - > http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html > You should use a bibtex style for the chicago style. > 2) Why doesn't first name of author display in TeX preview instead of just > first initial? > In BibDesk Preferences, I've selected Display options for 'Display first > names', and 'Display "Lastname, Firstname" (not 'Abbreviate first names'), > but I'm still getting only initial of first name in preview. > The tex preview is used to preview the generated tex, using bibtex. The output is determined by the chosen bibtex style. The preference does not apply to the tex preview. > 3) Why won't BibDesk cite keys autogenerate immediately?

They are only automatically generated (when you've turned that on) for new items after all relevant information is filled in (and then immediately). Otherwise, you can force it using the menu.
