Depends on qwerty.

Quick Start

1. Find your anki addon folder, create a new folder and copy everything there.
2. Build (and optionally install) qwerty.
3. Run Anki. You should see "Enable qwerty" in the "Tools" menu.
4. Either run qwerty first before clicking on "Enable qwerty", or go on to configure the add-on to run it for you.

Configuration

Open up the configuration file via "Tools->Add-ons->Config".

answer_field

Set this to the name of the field containing what you'll be typing out.

Go to "Tools->Manage Note Types", select your deck, and click on "Fields" to find out the name.

Defaults to:

"answer_field": "Back"

command

Put your command for running qwerty in a terminal in the "command" field. It should be something like this:

"command": "alacritty -e qwerty"

assuming alacritty is your terminal emulator, and it accepts the command it will run through the -e argument. Change qwerty to the location of your qwerty binary if you haven't installed it.

If set correctly, when the add-on complains about qwerty not running, the command will be executed and brings up the terminal if you click on the "Open" button.

thresholds

Three thresholds of the misspell time for the addon to choose an "ease" (ie: "Again", "Hard", "Good", "Easy") for you.

For example:

• [4, 3, 2]
  • Again: Misspell more than 4 times.
  • Hard: Misspell less than 4 times but more than twice. (3 times)
  • Good: Less than 3 times but more than once. (2 times)
  • Easy: Once or none.
• [2, 2, 1] is the default because this makes the most sense to me.
  • Again: Misspell more than once.
  • Good: Misspell once.
  • Easy: No misspelling at all.
