Howdy,

If BibDesk is has the proper bib file open or if it's set to automatically open that bib file (e.g., you keep all your bibligraphy data in a single file) then starting the bibliography short name and pressing F5 will give you a list of all matching names. Of course, the more you input initially the shorter the list will be. Not quite sure what the script does that isn't already there.

Good Luck,
