Create Subdeck (Gear Menu) — Anki Add-on
Adds a Create subdeck… item to the cogwheel (gear) menu on Anki’s Decks screen, so a subdeck can be created quickly from the deck selector.
What it does
- Adds a new menu item:
Create subdeck… - When clicked on a deck, opens Anki’s built-in “create deck” dialog
- Prefills the deck name as
ParentDeck::so only the child name needs to be typed
Install

How to use
- Open Anki and go to the Decks screen.
- Find the deck that should be the parent deck.
