Remaps arrow keys for answering and rating cards, adding smart question/answer context, customizable smooth scrolling, and a visual settings dashboard.
Adds configurable extra keyboard shortcuts, such as hjkl, for rating review cards, optionally revealing the answer first or rating immediately, and adjusting 2/3 key behavior by button count.
Remaps numeric keypad keys for reviews, shifting ease shortcuts, enabling undo, answer display, audio replay, and cascading ease selection, with each change optionally configurable; fixes ease-button clicking bug.
Enables keyboard-driven Anki reviewing with hjkl answer keys, front-side grading, configurable shortcuts, hidden or disabled buttons, Pass-Fail mode, answer color coding, zoom controls, and last-grade display.
Adds an Explain button and dockable sidebar that uses Gemini AI to generate flashcard explanations, mnemonics, related concepts, and follow-up chat, with streaming responses and customizable prompts.
Remaps the number keys 1 through 4 to show a card's answer and answer it, so double-pressing a key completes a card.
Custom Controls — answer with the arrow keys
keybindings shortcuts arrow-keys reviewer zoom accessibility
Answer cards with the arrow keys, and remap every other reviewer shortcut from one dialog.
Out of the box: Left = Again, Down = Hard, Up = Good, Right = Easy, with 1–4 still working alongside them. While the question is showing, an answer key reveals the answer instead of doing nothing — so a card is Up, then Up, rather than Space, then Up.
Remap all 36 reviewer actions. Answering, undo, edit, flags 1–7, bury and suspend, set due date, delete, card info, audio playback, seek and record, auto advance. Click a box and press the key you want. "+" gives an action a second key, "×" removes one, and an empty row unbinds the action entirely — including keys Anki normally provides. Duplicate bindings are refused on save, with a list of what clashes.
The answer buttons show your keys. Anki labels its ease buttons 1 2 3 4, which is misleading once they are remapped. They become "← Again", "↓ Hard", "↑ Good", "→ Easy", or whatever you bound.
A zoom level that persists. Anki's View → Zoom is forgotten when Anki restarts. Set the zoom here — slider, percentage box, live preview on the card behind the dialog — and it comes back next launch. Zoom set from Anki's own menu, or with ctrl+scroll, is kept as well rather than being overridden.
Also included. A cheat sheet of everything currently bound (Tools → Review Keys), a search box for the action list, and import/export of your keymap as a file. Since Up and Down are taken, Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down scroll long cards, and bound keys no longer scroll the card — except inside a type-in-answer field, where typing keeps working normally.
Only the reviewer's keys are changed. Keys elsewhere in Anki, and any reviewer key this add-on does not manage — alternate keyboard layouts, other add-ons — are left alone.
Open it from Tools → Customize Controls, or the Config button in the add-on manager.
Developed and tested on Anki 26.08.1 (Qt6). It uses only public hooks, and any action a given Anki version does not provide is skipped rather than raising an error.
