Description

Similar to the addon Tags are mandatory to add a card, however instead of strictly enforcing the rule, the add-on will display a warning if a card is attempted to be added without tags and provide an option to add the card anyway. Based on the add-on from this reddit post, ported to use hooks rather than fragile monkey patching. Works on Anki 2.1.55+ The source code is available on github. Please give the repository a star if you enjoy this add-on :)

README

Assorted Anki Addons

This repository contains a collection of smaller anki add-ons that I have written.

Details

Show Answer With Number Keys

This add-on remaps the number keys (1, 2, 3, 4) to be able to show the answer of a card as well as answering it. A card can then be fully answered by simply double clicking the number key.

Search Cards By Length

Find cards with a field of a given exact/maximum/minimum length in the browser.

Show Warning If No Tags When Adding Cards

Based on the add-on from this reddit post, ported to use hooks rather than fragile monkey patching. Works on Anki 2.1.55+ using the hook introduced in this commit

Currently no listing on ankiweb, so must be manually installed.
