Description

Use multiple columns in the note editor. You can easily change the number of columns shown using the Columns field added by the add-on, and you can have a different number of columns for different note types and window types (browser, note adder, etc). If you have any fields that take up a lot of space, you can configure them to take up an entire row by clicking on the small link "Β»-Β«" near it, or the shortcut (by default F10) If you want to use the add-on Frozen Field, please use the version https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/389392894 Current version: 2.6 Changes in 2.6: - Fix image overflow Changes in 2.5: - Anki 2.1 support. The add-on will no longer receive updates for Anki 2.0.x Changes in 2.4: - You can now choose fields to take up an entire row. Changes in 2.3: - Remember column count on a per-note-type basis (in addition to screen). Changes in 2.2: - Column count setting is in the corner now instead of own line (more space!) - Don't stretch the table vertically (that was annoying and looked bad). Changes in 2.1: - Remember the column count depending on context (i.e., separate counts for browser, note adder, etc).

Rationale

If you're the kind of person who likes to have dozens and dozens of field in your card type, this add-on is for you. In my personal use, most field get very few content, such as a page number, a symbol, etc... Those fields does not need to take the full width of the window. This add-on simply allow you to have multiple field on a single line.

Of course, some fields may contain a lot of text. In this case you may want to take the full window width. This add-on also permit it. You will have small fields and big fields.

Frozen Field

Current version of the add-on "Frozen Field" is not compatible with this add-on. Please use add-on 389392894 instead.

Configuration

On the bottom right of the editor/add card/browser, you will see a number. Changing this number change the number of columns.

Near field names, you will see either »-« or «-». Those two buttons allows to switch the field between short and big size. I.e. decide whether the field shares its line or take the line alone.

A shortcut (by default F10) allow to switch the currently select field's size.

Internal

The configuration is saved in anki's note type, so that when you synchronize your collection, you'll have the same number of column when you change your computer.

It redefines the editor.js's method setField
