Converts numbered pinyin into tone-marked pinyin, including apostrophes and ΓΌ, across all "pinyin" fields or whole decks automatically.
Scans text files or pasted text for Chinese words missing from your Anki collection and adds them as notes with tone colors, audio, and configurable note-type mapping.
Pins the Add Card window above all other windows, with a customizable keyboard shortcut and on-screen tooltip confirming each toggle.
Displays PDFs from a configured folder in a separate window at chosen pages, lets notes link to them, and offers basic drawing and text-box annotations.
Inserts synthetic review log entries for chosen dates, with configurable deck, card text, day start, timing, and spacing, so heatmaps and statistics show restored streaks.
Turns pasted CSV into notes by auto-detecting delimiters, suggesting note types, creating subdecks, and importing through quick import or Ankiβs standard dialog.
Pin Default Note Type
Always start adding cards with the note type YOU chose.
Anki uses its own rules to decide which note type appears when you open the Add window β and sometimes it picks the wrong one. The result is familiar: you build a whole batch of cards and only then notice the note type was wrong the entire time.
This add-on fixes that. Pick the note type you normally use, and it will be selected automatically every single time you open the Add window.
β What it does
β’ Lets you pin one default note type per profile. β’ Applies it automatically every time the Add window opens. β’ Overrides Anki's built-in guesswork β your choice always wins. β’ If you switch the type manually, it resets to your pinned default the next time the Add window opens. β’ Saved per profile, so each profile can have its own default.
β How to use
That's it. From now on the Add window always starts with your type.
To restore Anki's automatic behavior, open Config again and choose "(none β use Anki's default behavior)".
β Compatibility
Requires Anki 2.1.65 or newer (Qt6).
β Notes
If the pinned note type is later renamed or deleted, the add-on lets you know and falls back to Anki's default until you set a new one.
