Description

Contanki Rumble

Contanki Rumble allows Anki to be used with a gamepad or other controller device. This fork of Contanki adds support for immersive haptic feedback (rumble) to your study sessions.

🚀 Features

  • 🌀 Immersive Haptic Feedback: Feel your answers! Experience over 15 distinct vibration patterns for actions like Answer Good, Answer Again, Undo, and Deck Complete.
  • 🎮 Comfortable Reviews: Review your cards using a gamepad — no more sore hands, backs, or eyes from sitting at a desk.
  • 🎯 Intelligent Overlays: Pull up a helpful on-screen overlay to remind you of your control mapping in real time.
  • ⚙️ Fully Customizable: Bind almost any Anki feature to any button. Create different profiles for different controllers or study modes.
  • 🖱️ Precision Cursor Control: Use analog sticks for mouse movement and scrolling where a controller normally falls short.
  • 🚀 Quick Select Menu: A radial menu (Right Trigger by default) for fast access to flags, tags, and custom shortcuts.

🌀 Haptic Feedback Patterns

Each major action has a customizable tactile signature to help you stay focused; for example:

  • ✅ Good: A solid, confident pulse.
  • ❌ Again: A disappointing ramp-down vibration.
  • ⚠️ Hard: Two quick, bumpy pulses.
  • 🎉 Deck Complete: A celebratory “victory” sequence.
  • 🔄 Undo: Three quick, light pulses.

📖 Usage Notes

  1. Connect your controller via USB or Bluetooth.
  2. Install the add-on and restart Anki.
  3. Press any button to “wake” the controller and get started.

Controls can be reassigned using the add-on’s config dialog (Tools > Controller Options). You can assign controls for each context (Review, Deck Browser, etc.) as well as global settings.

🕹️ Analog Sticks & D-Pads

Sticks can be reassigned or put into Button Mode, mapping actions to the four directions. Both traditional button-based D-Pads and axis-based D-Pads are fully supported.

🎮 Choosing a Controller

Dualshock/Xbox One/Switch/8BitDo devices are fully supported, though verify rumble capabilities independently. I personally use IINE's Chronos remote.

🛠️ Troubleshooting & Compatibility

  • Anki 2.1.66+ is required due to modern toolkit requirements.
  • macOS: Volume controls are exclusive to macOS.
  • Known Issues: Limited interaction with the Browser/Preferences windows; unable to open webview context menus.
  • Conflicts:
    • Not compatible with Anjoy.
    • For Customize Keyboard Shortcuts, use Custom Actions in this add‑on to match your shortcuts.
    • If using AJT Flexible Grading and you get errors when burying cards/notes, disable flexible_reviewer in its config.
