I use biblatex and I basically use \textcite all the time. It would be quicker (and allow me to use some emacs reftex macros) if I could make \cite display like \textcite does. I use the style=apa option, so what this amounts to is I want \cite to do this: "Author (1999)" whereas it currently does this: "Author, 1999".

How do I redfine \cite to do what I want?

This might be as simple as just \let\cite\textcite -- that defines \cite to have the same value as \textcite has at the point of definition.

  • Just before this I added an alias for `\cite` so that if I did need it, I'd be able to use it. `\let\npcite\cite` – Seamus Jul 21 '10 at 13:01
