Forks can add features or work in a different way. Read the description before you change to another version. Fork detection is incomplete, so other versions can exist.
Maps mouse clicks, wheel actions, and trackpad swipes to Anki review commands across question, answer, overview, and congratulations screens, plus deck-browser navigation and middle-click drag scrolling.
Assigns Anki review actions—answer ratings, show answer, undo, or nothing—to mouse buttons, scroll-wheel movements, and long presses, configurable separately for question and answer sides.
Lets you review cards with the mouse wheel: scroll forward to undo the previous action, and scroll backward to show the answer or rate "good."
Enables hands-free Anki reviews by using a webcam to detect head and hand gestures, with customizable gesture-to-action mapping, sensitivity settings, recalibration, and optional camera preview.
Merges mouse-hotkey review controls with time-based automatic difficulty rating, scoring cards by answer speed and allowing Easy and Hard ratings to be disabled.
Adds native gamepad support to Anki, mapping controller buttons and analog sticks to keyboard shortcuts, card actions, and smooth scrolling, with multi-profile detection, a modifier layer, and press-to-bind setup.
Use mouse shortcuts to review comfortably. Scroll down to show answer, then scroll up to answer again
Below is the default configuration:
You can customize the mouse shortcuts in the add-on config. This add-on provides 20+ actions that can be mapped to any mouse shortcuts.
A hotkey is comprised of mouse press and mouse wheel events. When you press a mouse button (mousedown), the add-on searches for a hotkey where all the buttons you pressed beforehand are written as 'press [button name]' and the last button you pressed as 'click [button name]'. The same thing happens when you scroll: it searches for a hotkey where all the buttons that are being pressed are written as 'press [button name]' and the scroll direction as 'wheel [direction]'. If such hotkey exists, its corresponding action is executed.
