I am trying to figure out how to set up citation key generation and file matching to match my own, long entrenched personal methods. When citing papers I pretty much use either AuthorYear Author1AndAuthor2 Author1EtAl Using the key [auth.etal][year] with the regex replacement \.(?!etal) -> And …

Ahhh this is what I was looking for! I believe I want to use [auth.etal:regex("\\.etal","EtAl"):regex("\\.","And)] to get the desired pattern. Much obliged. I will try to add some documentation for other clueless folks like me. Now on to pdf file names!

I’m not sure I understand your question, but wouldn’t [authEtAl][year] do what you need for the third case?
