Add "Suspend Note" command in the browser

[cqg]

When reviewing you can suspend notes and cards, both options are useful:

However, while suspending cards it’s possible if you are in the browser, the Suspend Note command seems to be missing in the relevant menus:

Still, is possible to suspend all cards of a note while you are in Note mode by pressing CTRL + J (or Card > Toggle Suspend), but I find this workaround kind of confusing, specially for less experienced users.

For the sake of homogeneity and ease of use, I think adding the Suspend Note command (or Toggle Suspend if you prefer) to the Notes menus in the browser will be a logical step.

Thanks for considering!

You can also use Edit>Select Notes.

Yeah, its weird that you can do everything to the note from the contextual menu, except that one thing

I even doubted that you could suspend the note for a couple of days. Then i realized you can actually do it from the reviewer so it is possible and had to double check why this was missing

I suspect it is because it is an implementation detail and internally you cant suspend notes, only individual cards, but as a final user, it is confusing it is in one menu but not the other

On the other hand i just learned about edit > select notes

Any news on this since this was posted? I would be interested in submitting a PR for this since this is an important feature for me, but I am unable to find ankiweb anywhere on github.

I am unable to find ankiweb anywhere on github.

Ankiweb is not on github and isn’t open source either. If you are looking for the desktop app (which this topic is about), then you can find the source code here: GitHub - ankitects/anki: Anki is a smart spaced repetition flashcard program.

I just replied to this topic because the question was relevant, I guess the tag should have been selected more accurately to reflect that it’s about Ankiweb? I also didn’t want to open a new question because it would be a duplicate of this, and there is no Ankiweb topic, only an Syncing and Ankiweb tag for this topic.

There is no mention of AnkiWeb before your post. The suggestion has already been added if I understand this correctly: Add the option to suspend/unsuspend Notes - #2 by abdo.

No, this is not about ankiweb, as I said. This is about anki desktop.

I think that’s the option that existed already when OP wrote his post, since he wrote this:

Ah, I misread then since I assumed OP meant ankiweb when he said “in browser”. For ankiweb the interface currently looks like this so there is no way to perform any action on the card:

I will create a new topic for this issue then, under the Anki Category with the “Syncing and Ankiweb” tag if that makes sense.

I see. They meant the browse window (Browsing - Anki Manual).

I guess it makes sense. If not, someone will move the post to a better category. Though AnkiWeb is very minimal, so it’s possible that your request won’t be included. But always good to open a topic and ask.
