The AnkiScript addin addresses some of the issues that you mention. Ideally there would be the ability to have a server side addin so that new course modules could be added for both desktop and mobile clients when synching. ---

@BlueGreenMagick Thanks, I upgraded anki to .48 and it works fine, A small note that when I use “Opening the same window multiple time” add on, it is only work in one of the opening add windows not all of them,not a big deal anyway,thanks for your help ---

Add-on suggestion: Command palette i.e. something similar to what’s in Sublime, Atom, VS code etc: A keyboard shortcut to bring up a text field that searches in “everything” for commands, whether add-ons or core Anki (see video for general idea, not specific examples: [Sublime Text Command Palette (Tutorial #4) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYNkebGdl9Q)). Bear in mind I haven’t looked the slightest into the feasibility (the GUI part should be simple enough but how to “find commands” in Anki and add-ons?) so this may very well be practically impossible. ---

I’d like an addon that would allow you to go back one learning step with a given card in the learning phase after you fail it as opposed to either going back to step one or repeating the current step. ---

Are you using the native `tts` filter? AFAIK, this is already supported. See [Field Replacements - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/fields.html#text-to-speech) ---

Wondering if it is possible to create “Crash Course” template as an add-on basically a multiple choice template (5 answers) with an ability to transform to basic card (just the correct answer) and vice-versa (aka hide all the others answers) example ```auto Q: What animal has a really long neck? A: 1. A monkey. 2. A giraffe. 3. A donkey. 4. A snail. ``` ```auto Q: What animal has a really long neck? A: A giraffe. A monkey, A donkey, A snail -> would be hidden ``` (Quiz Mode) ![Screenshot_20211117-191316_Crash Course](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/1/1d98f204a1adc93120a530c88af489d40243c976.jpeg) (Basic card) ![Screenshot_20211117-191322_Crash Course](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/7/7bc6ff7e45ff59e266a44f773e8c95198156e4f5.jpeg) ---

Another add-on idea: Legend as you type (idea partly from the excellent Symbols as you type). Have a configurable list of abbreviations and full name, e.g. `DA: Dopamine HA: Histamine 5-HT: Serotonin NGC: Neutrophil Granulocyte MC: Mast cell Etc…` The add-on then monitors the editor and inserts legend entries when detected in the monitored field, example: the user types `MC release HA` and the add-on inserts the HA and MC entries last in a configurable field. Seems straightforward to write (hook on note save or something like that, not as time critical as the Symbol as you type since the insertions are not in the field you are editing), the main challenges are probably configuration: - List of abbreviations is probably easiest to edit in a plain text file and the add-on parses the file - Determine/configure which fields to monitor and which field to insert legend into - how to handle different note types. - If inserting into a field which is not exclusively used for the legend (like inserting on the backside of a basic card) keep track of which abbreviations have been inserted, taking into consideration that the user may enter non-configured abbreviations manually etc. ---

Hey, thanks for the reply. I gave it a try and it worked but it seems impossible to edit it onto already made cards with the regular Image occlusion addon. Fingers crossed the feature on IMO that is being worked on will be able to do that. otherwise I’ll use closet for sure 🙂 ---

Because of the way that note type is designed it won’t be possible to convert the original IO cards into the one by one type unfortunately. I imagine some very complex add-on could potentially do it, but it would be quite complicated because the IO cards are essentially just multiple images on top of each other ---

It would be immensely useful if there were an add-on that combined the functions of [Bury related notes](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/413416269) and [Delay siblings](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1369579727), namely if it did delay sibling’s core function of delaying cards but instead of siblings generated by the same note, it would be applied to cards of any note type that would share the set tag, opening up the possibility of having the delay sibling function applied across note types with cards that are not siblings but that share a similar content that makes recalling the other card easier, such as a cloze and a basic note type of the same subject, maybe not necessarily using the tagging mechanism since it is applied in all cards generated by the tagged note, maybe a flag could work better since these apply to individual cards. ---

The beta has a duplicate note feature which could somewhat fill this need; I do agree that default values for fields is a good idea though - it’d be great when some JS is need in the field, but no doubt there are lots of other uses.
