Have you ever finished a long review session only to realize you forgot to tag dozens of important cards? TagOnTheGo was built to solve exactly that problem, ensuring your collection stays consistently organized.
This add-on acts as a smart assistant that intervenes in your review flow at just the right moment. Instead of interrupting you for every card, a dialog box appears, allowing you to add or edit relevant tags in the heat of the momentβbut only under conditions you define.
Features
- Smart & Configurable Triggers: Choose exactly when the tagging window should appear. Set it to pop up for cards that have no tags and/or for new cards the first time they are reviewed.
- Add and Edit with Ease: The dialog isn't just for adding new tags. It pre-selects a card's existing tags, allowing you to quickly and intuitively review, remove, or change them.
- Quick Search: Have a collection with hundreds of tags? Use the built-in search bar to instantly find the one you need.
- Collapsible Lists: Organize your tag list by creating custom collapsible categories (like "Hidden", "Anatomy", "Pharmacology", etc.) to keep the interface clean and focused by hiding less-used tags.
- Robust Interface: With integrated scroll bars, the window seamlessly handles a large number of tags and long names without layout breaks or clipped text.
How to Use
- Install the add-on and restart Anki.
- During a review session, when you answer a card that matches your configured criteria (e.g., an untagged card, new cards), the TagOnTheGo window will appear.
- Check the existing tags you want to keep, uncheck those you want to remove, select others, or create new ones. Then, click "OK".
- The card will be updated with your selection, and your review will continue as normal.
Configuration
To customize the add-on's behavior and your tag lists:
- In Anki, go to Tools > Add-ons.
- Select TagOnTheGo from the list.
- Click the "Config" button on the right.
- In the configuration window, check the boxes to define when the dialog window should appear.
- Below, add or remove collapsible lists to organize your tags. To move a tag into one of these lists, use the "β" button next to it in the main dialog window.
I hope this tool helps you keep your Anki collection as organized as it keeps mine!
