Adding new cards from the browse mode on the app

I like to look at my cards in the browse mode, to edit stuff as I go. But I often I find myself switching between the “Add” window and the “browse” window, because I find that the next bit of information actually fit a previous card better and so I go looking for that. I find the constant switching a bit finnicky and the Browse mode doesn’t update either so I have to close it and open it again each time to see the newest cards I have added.

So, I was wondering whether there was a way to add new cards in the Browse mode without having to go into the Add window. (I hope it makes sense)

There may be add-ons that integrate the Add Note window with the Browse window (I’m not aware of any in particular).

The built-in ways to deal with this –

  • Leave your Add Note window open, and use the “History” button to jump back to specific notes you added recently.
  • Search added:1 in the Browse window and re-run that search to refresh the list of notes/cards you added today. [No need to close-open the whole window.]

You can refresh the browse window’s results by pressing enter in the search bar. Or you could try this addon: Auto-refresh browser - AnkiWeb
