Prenote and postnote options?

[adamSneller]

If I select an entry, using helm-bibtex, while visiting a LaTeX buffer and then select Insert Citation, I see a list of possible citation types. Selecting textcite or parencite then gives me the option of entering a Prenote or a Postnote.

From within an org buffer, the workflow is similar. In order to see the list of citation types, I type Ctrl-u [enter]. But if I then select citep or citet, the citation is inserted directly (without any option to add Prenote or Postnote).

How can I change this to also prompt for a Pre- or Postnote when using org-ref?

Thanks!

Okay, I read through the docs and have "discovered" a work-around. Apparently, I can get exactly what I need by just using org-insert-link (C-c C-l), then selecting citep or citet and then entering my pre/post text as the Description, when prompted.

Not sure why this does not also work by starting from helm-bibtex?

org-ref does not modify the actions of helm-bibtex anymore. It only looks like you use helm-bibtex because the org-ref insert command does use helm-bibtex actions, but it doesn't actually use helm-bibtex. There isn't really a way to prompt for these notes when inserting. You can click or press enter on a cite link, then press P, or type M-x org-ref-edit-pre-post-notes on a key to be prompted for these.
