DirectEdit

DirectEdit lets you edit flashcard text directly while studying—no need to open the card browser or edit window. Built to save time during high-volume study, it combines quick in-reviewer text editing, smart cloze tools, simple formatting, and real-time medical spellchecking.

✨ Main Features

1. Edit Cards While Reviewing

• Direct Edit: Ctrl + Click (or Cmd + Click on Mac) on any field while studying to start typing.
• Choose What’s Editable: Pick exactly which note types and card fields can be edited via Tools > DirectEdit > Settings....
• Auto-Save: Click outside the text box or press Esc to save changes to your collection.

2. Quick Formatting Toolbar

A simple toolbar appears right under your text while editing:

• Basic Styling: Bold, italic, underline, superscript, and subscript.
• Colors: Preset color swatches, recent color memory, or pick a custom color.
• Change Case: Easily switch words between lowercase and Title Case.
• Font Size: Quickly make text bigger or smaller.

3. Smart Cloze & List Tools

• Bullet to Cloze: Turn regular lists into vertical bullet points wrapped in clozes.
• Cloze Shortcuts: Add new sequential cloze blanks or duplicate an existing one.
• Split "And / Or": Automatically splits one cloze into two around and or or (e.g., {{c1::fever and chills}} ➔ {{c1::fever}} and {{c1::chills}}).
• Comma & Semicolon Splits: Break comma-separated words into clozes, or turn semicolons into clean line breaks.
• Change Cloze Numbers with Your Mouse: Hover over any {{c1::...}} and use Shift + Scroll Wheel (or Shift + Up/Down) to change the cloze number without highlighting.
