It did change for me fairly recently, with the mouseover process, but it is possible a full reinstall of Bibdesk changed my previous set up..
I changed the preview option from RTF to RTFD and I can copy. It's a case of a user doing something the coders don't expect, I think. :-) See below.

That is not going to change. It is to not have to use space for something you don’t often use. This is not really meant for copying cite keys. Can’t you just copy (Cmd-C) an item from the table? That is the designated method to copy citations, at least if you have set it up this way.

We have not changed anything about copying citations in a long time. And as far as I know we don't have a zoom option by hovering, just the items from the font edit submenu.

In recent versions, instead of being able to select the key with the mouse, when I mouse over the key, it changes to a scale percentage for zooming the record. 1. The zoom control is set in a menu option in most other applications 2. Not being able to copy the key without copying the entire line (i.e., adding a CR) is maddening. 3. Alternatively, the copy cite command option in the Action drop down is useful but would be better as a single click action, not a drop down option. It is also rather cumbersome for multiple reference citations. I'm not sure if this (#2) is a result of hidden changes in MacOS or if it was a design choice by the developers, but could it please be changed back to the way it used to work? Also, the citation key defaults to a small grey font: could this be enlarged?
