Lets users edit fields directly during card review using {{edit:Field}} template syntax, saving by clicking outside or pressing Esc, with undo and field-switching shortcuts.
Integrates the memory palace technique into Anki, letting users mark difficult cards, build palaces, assign cards by drag-and-drop, and optionally generate AI symbols and images.
Turns Anki notes into interactive mind maps with customizable connections, minimap navigation, rich content rendering, and in-context review.
Removes cloze formatting around the cursor or within selections, handling nested clozes and MathJax, and strips cloze markup from pasted content in non-cloze fields.
Embeds Anki’s native editor directly in the review window so you can edit note fields during review, with configurable triggers, exclusions, undo options, and Image Occlusion support.
Detects empty, unused note types and lets users review, search, and selectively delete them, protecting default templates and creating an undo checkpoint for safe restoration.
Description
Edit card fields right on the card, during review and in the Browser's Preview window. No Ctrl needed, and fields with formulas stay editable.
Mark a field in the card template as {{edit:Field}} (for example {{edit:Back}}), then click its text on the card and type.
- Formula-safe: MathJax
\(...\)/\[...\]and old Anki LaTeX[$]...[/$],[$$]...[/$$],[latex]...[/latex]become protected "islands". They render as usual and can't be changed by a click. You edit the text around them, and on save every formula goes back into the field exactly as it was written. (Edit Field During Review refuses to edit a field that contains even one formula.) - Works in review and in the Browser's Preview window.
- No modifier key: just click the text.
- To save, click outside the field or press Esc. It is a normal "Update Note" operation, so Ctrl+Z undoes it.
- While you type, keys don't trigger Anki shortcuts (Space, rating keys).
- Cloze fields
{{c1::…}}and sound/video[sound:…]are left read-only to protect them. - Without the add-on (mobile, another computer),
{{edit:Field}}is ignored and the field shows normally.
Conflicts with Edit Field During Review (1020366288) and its Cloze variant (385888438). Disable those before you use this one.
Tested with Anki 26.09. Requires 23.10+.

RU: правка полей прямо на карточке при повторении и в «Просмотре», без Ctrl; формулы остаются нетронутыми.
README
Edit In Place (formula-safe)
An Anki add-on for editing card fields right on the card, both during review and in the browser's Preview window, without opening the editor. Mark a field in the card template as {{edit:Field}} and click its text to edit it. No Ctrl is needed.
The difference from Edit Field During Review is that fields with MathJax formulas stay editable. Each formula (MathJax \(...\) / \[...\] and old Anki LaTeX [$]...[/$], [$$]...[/$$], [latex]...[/latex]) becomes a protected "island": it is rendered as usual, but you can't change it by clicking. You edit the text around it, and on save every formula goes back into the field exactly as it was written. The original add-on refuses to edit any field that contains even one formula.
- Save: click outside the field or press Esc. This is a normal "Update Note" operation, so Ctrl+Z undoes it.
- While you type in a field, keys don't trigger Anki shortcuts (Space, rating keys).
- Not editable, to protect them: cloze fields
{{c1::…}}and sound/video[sound:…]. - Without the add-on (mobile, another computer),
{{edit:Field}}is ignored and the field shows normally.
Install from AnkiWeb: code 1244274740 (ankiweb.net/shared/info/1244274740).
Development: run_tests.bat, build.bat. Requires Anki 23.10+. Tested with 26.09: formulas, preview and review were checked in a real Anki instance.
Правка на карточке с формулами (RU)
Поле {{edit:Поле}} правится щелчком при повторении и в окне «Просмотр», без Ctrl. Формулы становятся нередактируемыми «островками»: правится текст вокруг них, а сами формулы при сохранении возвращаются в поле в исходном виде. Сохранение — щелчок мимо или Esc, отмена — Ctrl+Z.
