Description

Quick add Tooltip in the Editor (use tippy.js).

This add-on is a Fixed and Enhanced version for Anki25+ of the addon "Anki Tooltips", originally created by Matthias Metelka (kleinerpirat) and credit goes to them.

AnkiTooltip

How to use

alt text

Tooltip-Editor in Editor

Editor button

  • Select text in the editor and press this button to add a tooltip. The added tooltip will be displayed in the editor and reviewer. The default shortcut key is “Ctrl+t”

Tooltip Editor

  • Click on the text with the added tooltip to open the tooltip editor. This function only works in the Editor. You can move the position by dragging this window. Click outside this window to cancel editing.

Check button (bottom right, green)

  • Updates the tooltip text with the entered text. Pressing the button when the text is empty will delete the tooltip. The shortcut key is “Alt+Enter.”

X button (top right, red)

  • Deletes the tooltip and leaves only the text.

Restore button (top left, purple)

  • Restores the text being edited to its previous state.

NoteType manager

alt text

This add-on auto adds CSS and JavaScript to note types to display tooltips on cards. This option allows you to manually disable, enable, or customize them all at once.

Enable Tooltip Notetype (Back)

  • Enabling this will enable tooltips, disabling it will remove the CSS and JavaScript added to the note type.

Front Tooltip

  • Tooltips are displayed by default only on the answers of cards (Back). If you want to display tooltips on the questions of cards, you need to enable this (Front).

Prev-Shortcut, Next-Shortcut

  • If there are multiple tooltips, you can display them using shortcut keys. You can change the shortcut keys by double-clicking this option.

Context Menu

  • These options can be changed in bulk. Select multiple -> Right-click -> Context Menu

Option

alt text

Editor Shortcut key

  • You can change the shortcut key for adding tooltips in the editor, the default is “Ctrl+t”.

Auto add tooltip to NoteType

  • When you add a tooltip in the editor, CSS and JavaScript for displaying the tooltip in the note type will be auto added. This option is enabled by default.

Use JavaScript in Editor

  • This add-on executes JavaScript in the editor to display and edit tooltips. Disabling this option will disable almost all of that JavaScript and switch to a simple mode for adding tooltips only. (e.g. you don't use the tooltip editor at all because you edit HTML directly.)

Notes

  • This add-on edits note types. If you are concerned I recommend backup all your decks before using this and check that it works properly.

  • Text with added tooltips will have HTML such as colors and bold text removed.

  • If you are using advanced shared decks, unexpected problems may occur due to interference, if so please send me your card template so I can look into it.

Technical explanation

Tooltip HTML

alt text

<a data-tippy-content="Fixed by Shigeඞ">Anki Tooltip</a>
  • Adding a tooltip generates code like this. Advanced users can add or edit tooltips by directly editing this HTML. Nesting is not currently supported.

Front Template, or Back Template

alt text

This is the code for the tooltips auto added to the notetype (card template).

<script src="_anki-tooltips.js" data-prev-shortcut="Shift+Tab" data-next-shortcut="Tab"></script>

Styling

@import url("_anki-tooltips.css");

In short, the notetype options and auto-add feature are enabled or disabled by adding or removing these lines of code. Addon options are read from these note templates and displayed, so advanced users can manually add or remove these codes directly.

JavaScript and CSS

  • _anki-tooltips.js and _anki-tooltips.css are automatically generated and saved to the user's media folder. They should also work on mobile devices.

Development

About Svelte

  • The original add-on was developed using Svelte. Svelte is a convenient framework that is often used in the official Anki, but in the latest version of Anki access to Svelte from add-ons is completely broken and probably irreparable (Svelte 5), so this add-on abandons Svelte and almost all of the code has been replaced with plain JavaScript. I made it as similar as possible but it works a bit differently from the original add-on.

Compatibility

  • The tooltips use the same system as the original add-on, so if you have cards created with the original AnkiTooltip they should work normally with this add-on as well.
