Description

Anki Accent Popup – Education Perfect-Style Accent & Symbol Picker

This add-on adds a modern accent and symbol picker to Anki, similar to Education Perfect and macOS.
Hold a key to see alternate characters, then select them with number keys or by clicking.

It works while:

  • Reviewing cards
  • Editing notes
  • Creating new notes
  • Using the browser editor

No special keyboards needed.

How to Use

Hold a key to show variants (e.g. hold “e”).
Release the key and the popup will stay open.

Select a variant by:

  • Pressing 1–0, -, =, `, [, ], or \
  • Clicking the character
  • Press Esc to close the popup

Typing another key automatically closes the popup.

Greek Mode

You can enable Greek Mode in the add-on settings (config.json):

"greek_mode": true

When Greek Mode is enabled, holding Latin letters shows Greek letters (e.g. a → α, p → π).
