Description

⚑ ARROW KEY SETTINGS ⚑

The Ultimate Reviewer Navigation Add-on

Control Anki with your Keyboard

⬆️ UP = AGAIN | ➡️ RIGHT = EASY

⬇️ DOWN = GOOD / SHOW ANSWER

⬅️ LEFT = HARD

📜 SHIFT + ⬆️⬇️ = SMOOTH SCROLLING

🚀 What is this?

This is a complete professional overhaul of the standard navigation. It doesn't just map keys—it gives you a Settings Dashboard, Physics-based Scrolling, and Smart Context Logic to control Anki entirely with your keyboard.

⭐ Professional Features

🧠 Smart Context Engine: The add-on intelligently knows if you are looking at the Question or Answer. You can set Down Arrow to "Show Answer", and then press it again to rate the card "Good".
📜 Smooth Physics Scrolling: Use Shift + Up and Shift + Down to scroll through long cards smoothly. You can customize the speed and smoothness in the settings.
⚙️ Visual Settings UI: No more editing code! Go to Tools → Arrow Key Settings to change keys, adjust scroll speed (%), or toggle animations.
🛡️ Safety Checks: It automatically detects if a card is New (3 buttons) or Review (4 buttons) so you never press a button that doesn't exist.

🛠️ Configuration

You can customize everything in the dedicated menu:

Open Anki.
Click Tools in the top toolbar.
Select Arrow Key Settings.

Here you can remap keys to WASD, change scroll distance (default 12%), or disable smooth animation.
