Change Behaviour of Enter/Return/Space When Answer Shown
Description
This add-on changes the behaviour of the Space, Enter and Return key in the answer state from answering Good to either being ignored or reshowing the answer.
Why
The gamepad button mappings on AnkiMobile has two functions that can be used to show the answer:
- "Show Answer/Answer Good": This is the behaviour of Anki 2.1 when pressing
Space,EnterorReturn. It shows the answer when the question is shown, and answers Good when the answer is shown. - "Show Answer": It shows the answer when the question is shown, and when the answer is shown shows the answer again.
I prefer the second option for two reasons:
- Not having two functions overloaded on the same button prevents accidental double taps from immediatly answering good.
- Showing the answer again has a nice side effect: when audio is set to automatically play, it will replay the answer audio. The regular
Replay Audiocan be set to replay the question audio in answer. Therefore one has two options to replay audio: one with question (regular replay), and one with only the answer (the "Show Answer" shortcut).
On the Desktop version of Anki, there is no built-in option to only show the answer. Space, Enter and Return will always not only show the answer, but also answer Good. This extension changes this behaviour. By default, pressing Space, Enter or Return in the answer-state will reshow the answer, and therefore replay the audio. This can be changed in the configuration to completely ignore the key.
This extension was inspired by the add-on Ignore space/enter when answer shown, which currently does not support Anki 2.1.x. If you find a bug or have a feature request, please report them on on GitHub.
Usage
To change the behaviour of the Space /Enter / Return key in answer mode go to Tools > Add-ons > Anki Space Behaviour and click Config. Set the mode to ignore when the keys should be ignored:
{
"mode": "ignore"
}
and to show_answer when the answer should be shown again (triggering a replay of the answer audio files):
{
"mode": "show_again"
}
Installation
Paste the following code into Anki 2.1:
