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.
Converts basic notes into cloze notes, lets existing basic cards be edited and transformed, and adds cloze-skip support to almost any non-cloze note type via a button or shortcut.
Automatically converts a Basic note to a Cloze note type when you create a cloze deletion with a basic note type, then switches it back after card creation.
Converts Anki notes between types without triggering a full sync, offering field mapping, presets, review-history preservation, deck/tag retention, browser and reviewer conversion, and one-step undo.
Automatically switches between Basic and Cloze note types based on content and provides customizable one-handed Cloze deletion shortcuts while suppressing unnecessary tooltips during card creation.
Improves cloze display by distinguishing genuine and pseudo clozes, allowing click or keyboard/touchscreen revealing, automatic scrolling, and basic no-cloze notes.
Renders Anki flashcards with enhanced markdown, LaTeX math, syntax highlighting, theme-aware styling, and interactive cloze toggles via React-based note types.
This add-on is an updated version of the original Automatic Basic To Cloze add-on (link) made by trganki. Check out their other add-ons: https://ankiweb.net/shared/byauthor/2105427255
If you make a cloze note with a basic note type, this addon will automatically change the note type for you.
Anki warned you that the cloze won't work until you change the note type. You forgot, but you're lucky. The basic note type magically changed to Cloze.

Automatically convert cloze-y things to cloze type.
This add-on works with Anki's classic editor. It does nothing in the newer
Svelte editor, which is currently behind the SVELTE_EDITOR experimental
feature flag and off by default: that editor gets its note data straight from
the backend and does not run the hooks this add-on relies on.
This add-on breaks when Anki changes, so most of the tests check that the Anki internals it hooks into still exist, against whatever Anki release is current. Worth running when a new Anki comes out:
uv venv
uv pip install pytest anki
uv pip install --no-deps aqt # only read as source text, so PyQt6 isn't needed
uv run --no-project pytest
A failure names the add-on code that depended on whatever Anki removed.
