Anki Spell Checker - hot keys?

Anki Add-ons
1

Does Anki Spell Checker have any hot keys? I don’t like using my mouse. I would like to move my cursor over to a misspelled word, then use some key combination, to have it open different spelling suggestions, then select one with the arrow keys some how.

Is this possible?

Ok, is there a hotkey for using Windows text suggestions once its enabled?

I’m sorry, I tested it now and it seems like Anki doesn’t even open the windows text suggestion.

This addon might be useful.

There are several versions of the add-on spell checker, maybe you are talking about the version I fixed? (add-on: :white_check_mark:Anki Spell Checker - Check misspelled in the Editor (Fixed by Shigeඞ)) If so I haven’t developed the shortcut key yet, I’ll look into it later. If you are referring to another version of the spell checker you should contact the author. (each add-on is developed by a different developer)

Hello @Shigeyuki, yes I am referring to the one you created / fixed.
Thank you for the feedback. Seems the git repo does not have a discussions or ticket link so I didn’t know where else to submit the feature request. If you have time to look into this that would be great. If you want any user testing / feedback let me know. Thanks!

If you are using Windows you can open the right click menu with the application key on the keyboard. If there is no key or if you are using a Mac I need to develop a new hotkey.

Can you elaborate on what the “application key” is? I use windows, there is a Windows key, but that only opens up the start menu. What key are you referring to?

Some keyboards may not have that key? I need to develop a shortcut key, please wait.

Thanks. I found the key. I am posting a reply for context for others. It looks like this:

On my keyboard its an FN combination, and the key is far away from the other keys.

Yes, a hot key would be great, but take your time. Appreciate you looking into this feature. :slight_smile:

UPDATE: Think I workaround solution. If you use AutoHotKey, you can create a shortcut to the apps key easily with this script:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe anki.exe
^s::Send {AppsKey}
#IfWinActive

Now when pressing CTRL+s, only in Anki program, the apps key is pressed instead.
