Forks can add features or work in a different way. Read the description before you change to another version. Fork detection is incomplete, so other versions can exist.
Enables editing fields during review by Ctrl- or Cmd-clicking them, supporting clozes, images, LaTeX, highlighting, and card preview after configuring editable fields.
Enables editing card text and drawing directly in Anki's review screen with tools, annotations, shortcuts, and savable images.
Lets you type code answers in an IDE-style field during review and shows an instant character-level diff against the solution, with syntax highlighting and coding shortcuts.
Embeds Anki’s native editor directly in the review window so you can edit note fields during review, with configurable triggers, exclusions, undo options, and Image Occlusion support.
Provides CSS-based syntax highlighting for code in Anki cards, including night mode, with batch template configuration.
Converts Anki notes between types without triggering a full sync, offering field mapping, presets, review-history preservation, deck/tag retention, browser and reviewer conversion, and one-step undo.
An Anki add-on to edit a field during review without opening the edit window.

The Notion page includes a few examples of Anki flashcards that I happened to make in the past -- for free, for a cup of coffee in return or upon request and on commission.
For more information, please see https://kelciour.notion.site/Home-53d745ea252082848ca881b35c336e79
Alternatively, I can probably convert something to Anki, if it can be batch processed or automated and doesn't take too much time.

To avoid any conflicts, please uninstall or disable this add-on first.
HOW TO USE
Open the Card Template and replace {{Field}} with {{edit:Field}}. This is similar to {{type:Foreign Word}} or {{hint:MyField}}.
During review click on the field, edit it and click outside of it or press Esc to save it, or press Ctrl+Z to undo any changes.
Press Tab or Shift+Tab to switch between different editable fields. And it looks like it's possible to use Ctrl+B (bold), Ctrl+I (italic) and Ctrl+U (underline) shortcuts too.

The add-on is very simple and has a limited functionality.
The addon just replaces any {{edit:Field}} with <div contenteditable="true">{{Field}}</div> to make it editable.
Tag "div" can be replaced with tag "span" to make it inline by updating the add-on's config file (Tools - Add-ons - Edit Field During Review - Config).

OTHER NOTES
By default, if the contenteditable field isn't active anymore, it's possible to undo the last edit by using Edit - Undo option. But if the current card has been edited and this option is enabled, it'll be impossible to Undo Review and move back to the previous card. Please edit the add-on's config file and change "undo": true to "undo": false to disable it or maybe open the cards browser and search for rated:1 (cards answered today) and maybe sort by the "changed" column ("changed" tracks the last time changes were made to the card (e.g., when you reviewed the card and the review history and interval were updated)).
The latest version of the add-on should prevent this by making the field to be uneditable, but just in case...
Don't use the add-on with cloze fields, don't change {{cloze:Text}} to {{edit:cloze:Text}}, it won't work and some data will be lost after editing, either the text inside clozes will be lost or cloze tags will be lost, and it can only be restored from a backup - https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#backups
If you use the add-on with audio fields, the "[sound:...]" tag will be lost after editing.
Instead, use the Edit Field During Review (Cloze) - https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/385888438
