I recently switched from JabRef to BibDesk since JabRef is dependent on Java and Apple is dependent on making Java a major pain. I would like to automatically create cite keys that are in the same style as my existing bibliography. Currently my cite keys are like the following examples:
1) McCracken_2004 for a single author 2) McCracken_and_Maxwell_2004 for two authors 3) McCracken_et_al_2004 for 3 or more authors The closest I can get to this with a custom cite key format is using the string: %a[][_et_al]1_%Y This works for works with one or three or more authors well, but this can’t handle instances with 2 authors. Does anyone know how to do this? Is there maybe a way to embed an if statement in my format string? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
