Description

Image

You're reviewing a card and notice a typo. You stop, open the note editor, find the field, fix it, close β€” and by now you've completely lost your focus. There has to be a better way. πŸ–ŠοΈ

Edit field during review gives Anki the inline editing it's always been missing.

  • πŸ–±οΈ Click any text on the card to edit it in place β€” no extra windows, no interruptions to your review session.
  • ✏️ Works on every field and every note type β€” basic, cloze, reverse, and any custom template.
  • 🏷️ Edit tags too β€” click the tag area, type the tags separated by spaces, done.
  • πŸ”΅ Cloze-safe editing β€” clicking a cloze field shows its raw syntax ({{c1::...}}), so you can fix it without breaking the deletion.
  • πŸ’Ύ Saves automatically when you click away, press Enter, flip the card, or move to the next one β€” no confirmation needed.
  • ↩️ Fully undoable β€” every change goes through Anki's undo system. Ctrl+Z brings it back.
  • ⚑ No flicker, no reload β€” the card never redraws itself; only the edited region updates.

HOW TO USE

  1. Install the add-on and restart Anki.
  2. Start a review session as usual.
  3. Click on any text you want to change β€” a blue outline marks the editable area.
  4. Type your correction and click away (or press Enter) to save. Press Escape to also save and exit.

SETTINGS

No configuration needed. The add-on works out of the box on every note type without touching your templates.
