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.
Keeps the editor window persistent during review, obscuring fields on the front side and revealing them on the back, with shortcuts for toggling.
Improves cloze display by distinguishing genuine and pseudo clozes, allowing click or keyboard/touchscreen revealing, automatic scrolling, and basic no-cloze notes.
Provides a distraction-free full-screen review interface by hiding menu bars, overlaying adjustable, draggable, touch-friendly answer buttons, and hiding the idle cursor, with customizable settings.
Displays the note editor in multiple columns using automatic, manual, or custom grid-area layouts, with shortcuts to toggle modes and temporarily widen a field.
Displays PDFs from a configured folder in a separate window at chosen pages, lets notes link to them, and offers basic drawing and text-box annotations.
Enables editing cards directly during review via double-click in-place editing or a persistent editor window that auto-loads the current card and hides fields on the front.
Note: This is a fix of the original addon: Persistent Editor created by: Hgiesel.
Please Note: This add-on is provided "as is" without any guarantees or warranty. While I have tested the add-on to the best of my ability, there may still be bugs or issues that could cause unexpected behavior. Use at your own risk. If you encounter any problems, please report them on the GitHub issue tracker. However, I cannot guarantee that all issues will be resolved.
Thank you for understanding and for your support!
This add-on will make the editor window for review persistent. On the front of the card, the fields will be obscured, so the answer to the flashcard cannot be read. On the back of the card, all fields will be revealed.
Important shortcuts
e: will trigger the editor window.
This is identical to the standard Anki behavior.
Clicking e again will bring focus to the editor window.
c: will flip the card, going to the front, if you're on the back and vice versa.
Before creating this add-on, I typically used the editor shortcut to go back to the front of the card. This is no longer possible, the editor shortcut won't change which side of the card is displayed. For this reason, you can use this shortcut to have the old functionality.
This shortcut is configurable in the add-on settings under "Tools > Add-ons > Persistent Editor > Config".Obscuring mode vs Presentation mode
If you do not like the obscuring behavior, you can use "presentation mode". This makes the Editor work the same for the back and front side. Under "Tools > Add-ons > Persistent Editor > Config" you can put the editor window into presentation mode by default. There is a shortcut to easily switch between those modes, which defaults to Ctrl+P.
Updates
2020-02-12: Support for 2.1.41. Uses different strategy to obscure field, using visibility: hidden
