I see no need for a hack such as
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "k" using {command down}
if you check your BibDesk preference
"Cite Key -> Cite Key Autogeneration -> Autogenerate the cite key wehn enough
fields are supplied"

I'm writing an applescript to do the following
1) import bibtex from a webpage in safari
2) generate a cite key according to the auto generation rule set in preferences
Below is the part of applescript
tell document 1 of application "BibDesk"
activate
set myPub to first item of (import from theBibTeXString)
set selection to {myPub}
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "k" using {command down}
end tell
However, I ran into the following problem. I use keyword groups. If
BibDesk is already running and one of the keyword groups is selected,
then the the last line won't run because, unless the imported entry
has the same keyword, it won't be selected. I checked the BibDesk
dictionary in Applescript Editor. It seems that I can first select
the "library group" right after "activate". But I cannot figure out
the proper way to do it. Any help is appreciated.
