Description

This add-on allows to add on demand the furigana during the creation of Japanese vocabulary cards.

1/ The user types vocabulary or sentence e.g. "ๆŒฏใ‚Šไปฎๅ" in a field. 2/ The user selects the word he wants to add the furigana to (here the word "ๆŒฏใ‚Šไปฎๅ"). The user press the Furigana Creator button, or press the shortkey set in the configuration. 3/ The field becomes "ๆŒฏ[ใต]ใ‚Š ไปฎ[ใŒ] ๅ[ใช]".

The button icon is a "ใ" in the editor, and the default hotkey is ctrl+1.

This addon relies on jisho.org to place the kana on top of the right kanji. Maybe there is a better way.
