Description

You're studying in another app, referencing notes on the side, and every time you want to add a card, the Add Card window disappears behind everything else. 🗂️

Always on Top gives Anki the window pinning it's missing.

📌 Pins the Add Card window above all other windows — no more hunting for it.
⌨️ Toggle on/off with a fully customizable keyboard shortcut (default: Ctrl+Shift+T).
🔔 On-screen tooltip confirms the state every time you toggle.
⚙️ One-field config dialog — no clutter.
🌍 UI translated into 50+ languages.
🖥️ Native Windows API (SetWindowPos) for reliable topmost behavior; Qt flags + wmctrl fallback on macOS/Linux.

How to Use

Open the Add Card window (press A or Tools → Add).
Press Ctrl+Shift+T to pin it on top — a tooltip confirms.
Press again to unpin.
Customize the shortcut any time via Config.

Settings

Go to Tools → Add-ons → Always on Top (by Ankicraft) → Config to change the shortcut key.

Compatibility

Tested on Anki 24.x (Windows). Should work on macOS and Linux via Qt/wmctrl fallback.
