Description

banner_shigeyuki_2

Always keep Anki on top of other apps.

This add-on is a fixed and Enhanced version for Anki25+ of the addon "Always On Top" and credit goes to them. (AGPL, Copyright: Damien Elmes 2009, Glutanimate 2017 , Unknow 2019 )

How to use

Installing the add-on enables Always on top. To enable or disable it, use the Add-on action in Tools or the shortcut key. (default: Alt+A)

Option

  • Shortcut keys: You can change the shortcut keys. If the shortcut keys don't work they may be interfering with other add-ons, if so please try changing them to different keys.
  • Enable V2: Disabling this will revert to the older version of Always on top. (need to restart Anki)
  • Activate main Windows: After enable or disable Always on top, focus the Anki window. (because sometimes it doesn't get focus)
