README
Always on Top (by Ankicraft)
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.
