I am using LyX and would like to know if it is possible to specify which citation command should be used by default for the "Insert -> Citation" function from the menu.

Specifically I am using natbib and would like to use \citep{key} when using "Insert -> citation"

    It seems to use the previously used citation style, so if you add one citation using the enclosed-in-parenthesis citation style (\citep), that is used for the following citations as well (until you use a different one).

There is no option for this at the moment, though there is an open ticket in the bug tracker requesting the feature:

However, in the last comment on that ticket there is a possible workaround, so you could take a look at that.

Also, LyX will remember the last used style, so if you add one reference and change it to the (<author>, <year>) style, that will be chosen for any new citations you add, until you change the style of a citation.
