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.
Lets you sticky and unsticky note editor fields to save keystrokes, and deletes the cloze environment when adding a new card.
Adds a button to freeze and unfreeze fields, controlling whether content is kept when adding notes, with compatibility for other add-ons like multi-column editor and LaTeX/MathJax in editor.
Freezes selected Anki editor fields via configurable shortcuts, toggling current or all fields, while remaining compatible with other add-ons that modify editor behavior.
Search Jisho.org directly from the Anki editor and fill note fields with selected meanings, readings and forms using custom field mapping, keyboard shortcuts and a themed results window.
Displays multiple note fields per line, lets users toggle fields between short and full-width, shows LaTeX compilation results in editor and browser, and saves column settings with the note type.
Assigns configurable hotkeys to individual note types so pressing them in the Add Cards editor switches the note being edited to that type.
Frozen Fields allows you to conveniently sticky and unsticky a field right from the note editor:

IMPORTANT (2021-03-09): Anki 2.1.41 was just released, and while it comes with some cool changes, it does break a lot of add-ons, Frozen Fields included. I am working on a fix as we speak. If your workflow depends on Frozen Fields or any of the other affected add-ons, please hold off on upgrading and/or install Anki 2.1.40 for now.

OVERVIEW
Anki supports sticky fields. A sticky field is a field whose value is not deleted when you switch to a different note. This can be very useful if you are making many notes in which a field either has the same value or changes very little.
Unfortunaly, marking a field as sticky is quite complex and breaks your workflow. Frozen Fields allows you to conveniently mark a field as sticky (freeze) or not sticky (unfreeze) right from the note editor. It’s much more convenient than the default way.
To freeze/unfreeze a field, just click the adjacent snowflake or use the corresponding hotkey (F9 by default). A blue snowflake means that the field is frozen and a grey snowflake means that the field is unfrozen.
HOTKEYS
F9: toggle field between frozen and unfrozenShift + F9: toggle status for all fields
