Anki Plugins

This repository is a fork of the original Anki Plugins project by ssricardo, with additional custom plugins.

Plugins

Fill the Blanks Expanded

Enhanced cloze deletion add-on with input fields and instant feedback, including:

• ✨ Progress indicator showing answered/total fields
• 🎯 Enhanced instant feedback
• 💡 Improved hint system
• 🎨 Additional UI improvements

All new features are built upon the excellent foundation created by the original author.

Example

{{c1::Guten}} {{c2::Morgen}}, wie {{c3::geht}} es {{c4::dir}}?

Das ist {{c5::sehr}} {{c6::schön}}!

How it works?

• Instant Feedback: As you type, each field changes color:

  • 🟨 Yellow: incomplete or incorrect answer
  • 🟩 Green: correct answer
  • 🟥 Red: completely wrong answer

• Settings Used:

  • feedback-enabled: true (real-time visual feedback)
  • feedback-ignore-case: false (distinguishes uppercase/lowercase)
  • feedback-ignore-accents: true (ignores accents)

📊 Progress Indicator

• Visual counter showing answered/total fields (e.g., "2/5")
• Located in the top-right corner
• Turns green when all answers are complete

💡 Smart Hints

• Double-click any field to reveal the answer
• Ctrl+? to get the next character hint
• Configurable idle hint delays

🌍 Language Support

• Ignore case sensitivity option
• Ignore accents/diacritics option
• Asian characters support

🎨 Dropdown Support

Use hints with "/" separator to create dropdown menus: {{c1::Paris::London/Paris/Berlin/Madrid}}

🔁 Duplicate Cloze Autofill

When the same ordinal appears more than once (e.g., c1 repeated), typing in one field instantly mirrors the input in the other(s). A small superscript number appears to the right of each repeated cloze to indicate the shared ordinal.

Example 1: {{c1::Paris}} is the capital of France. {{c1::Paris}} is in Europe. Example 2: {{c1::Paris::London/Paris/Rio de Janeiro}} is the capital of France. {{c1::Paris::London/Paris/Rio de Janeiro}} is in Europe.

Notes:

• Autofill only happens for the same ordinal (e.g., c1 with c1).
• Different ordinals (e.g., c1 and c2) are not linked.

How to Use

1. Create or edit a Cloze note type
2. In the card template, replace {{cloze:YourField}} with {{type:cloze:YourField}}
3. Add the filter: {{type:cloze:YourField|fill-blanks}}
4. Create cloze deletions as usual: {{c1::answer}}
5. Review your cards - each cloze becomes an input field!
