A 'Never Type Answer' Botton is required

Anki Suggestions

We need a botton ‘Never Type Answer’ on Anki for Mac, like what we have on our ios/ipados one’s. It is very crucial.

Greatly improve review efficiency by cutting redundant typing operations and simplifying the card interaction process

  1. Reduce unexpected deck errors, glitches and potential bugs caused by invalid keyboard input

  2. Eliminate severe lagging when pressing Enter to reveal answers, optimizing the overall response speed of Anki

  3. Avoid accidental wrong input or keyboard interference that disrupts normal flashcard review

  4. Streamline the review workflow with a smoother, more stable card browsing experience

The workarounds for this are so straightforward that it’s unlikely you really need this added to the app.

First, if you don’t want to type on either platform, the simplest solution is to stop using the type-answer functionality in your card templates.

But if you want to type sometimes on desktop, you can leave your card templates as they are. Then, when you don’t want to type an answer, just don’t type. Ignore the type answer field and just proceed through studying the card.

The reasoning for having a switch to disable the feature on the mobile apps has to do with the intrusiveness of the on-screen keyboard, especially on smaller screens. But there’s no such concern in the desktop app.

If you have some other use-case that you feel can’t be addressed by the suggestions above, please let us know what that is.

Some cards are not easy to stop using the type-answer functionality in the card templates, so we need that botton.

Disable autofocus on the input field.

The cards were encrypted, so I can not edit anything to it
