Add Editor Field Content

Hi Community,

How to fetch the filed content within the add editor?

For example, the text inside ‘Front’.

Best Regards,
Jack

Use something like editor.note["Front"]

See How to identify Editor instance in Editor gui_hooks for a possible way to get the editor instance.

When you are in the editor you might want to use editor.saveNow to save unsaved edits.

Check out how Anki opens the the built-in html source code window (ctrl+shift+x) and displays the code,

github.com

ankitects/anki/blob/f65f101a1693e2efdece9668bdad418c61c95328/qt/aqt/editor.py#L531


    return True
def cleanup(self):
    self.setNote(None)
    # prevent any remaining evalWithCallback() events from firing after C++ object deleted
    self.web = None
# HTML editing
######################################################################
def onHtmlEdit(self):
    field = self.currentField
    self.saveNow(lambda: self._onHtmlEdit(field))
def _onHtmlEdit(self, field):
    d = QDialog(self.widget, Qt.Window)
    form = aqt.forms.edithtml.Ui_Dialog()
    form.setupUi(d)
    restoreGeom(d, "htmlEditor")
    qconnect(form.buttonBox.helpRequested, lambda: openHelp("editing?id=features"))
    form.textEdit.setPlainText(self.note.fields[field])

slightly offtopic, but maybe also interesting: open the browser or add window from the debug console
