I would like to disable the keyboard shortcut for “bury”. I often press the option key (on a Mac) for special characters, and I often accidentally bury cards when reviewing. I have the add-on [Customize Keyboard Shortcuts](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/24411424), and I tried to turn off burying with “”, but it didn’t work. Here are my configurations: > { > “editor \_duplicates”: {}, > “editor \_extras”: { > “paste custom text”: “” > }, > “editor \_pastes”: {}, > “editor add card close window”: “”, > “editor add media”: “”, > “editor block indent”: “”, > “editor block outdent”: “”, > “editor bold”: “Ctrl+B”, > “editor card layout”: “”, > “editor change col”: “”, > “editor change deck”: “”, > “editor change note type”: “”, > “editor cloze”: “”, > “editor cloze alt”: “”, > “editor cloze forced increment”: “”, > “editor cloze no increment”: “”, > “editor confirm add card”: “”, > “editor focus tags”: “”, > “editor foreground”: “”, > “editor html edit”: “”, > “editor insert latex”: “”, > “editor insert latex equation”: “”, > “editor insert latex math environment”: “”, > “editor insert mathjax block”: “”, > “editor insert mathjax chemistry”: “”, > “editor insert mathjax inline”: “”, > “editor italic”: “Ctrl+I”, > “editor list insert ordered”: “”, > “editor list insert unordered”: “”, > “editor record sound”: “”, > “editor remove format”: “”, > “editor subscript”: “”, > “editor superscript”: “”, > “editor toggle sticky all”: “”, > “editor toggle sticky current”: “”, > “editor underline”: “Ctrl+U”, > “m\_toolbox \_duplicates”: {}, > “m\_toolbox addons”: “”, > “m\_toolbox create filtered deck”: “”, > “m\_toolbox export”: “”, > “m\_toolbox import”: “”, > “m\_toolbox preferences”: “”, > “m\_toolbox quit”: “”, > “m\_toolbox see documentation”: “”, > “m\_toolbox study”: “”, > “m\_toolbox switch profile”: “”, > “m\_toolbox undo”: “”, > “main add”: “”, > “main browse”: “”, > “main debug”: “”, > “main deckbrowser”: “D”, > “main stats”: “”, > “main study”: “”, > “main sync”: “”, > “reviewer \_duplicates”: {}, > **“reviewer bury card”: “”,** > **“reviewer bury note”: “”,** > “reviewer card info”: “”, > “reviewer choice 1”: “1”, > “reviewer choice 2”: “2”, > “reviewer choice 3”: “3”, > “reviewer choice 4”: “4”, > “reviewer delete note”: “”, > “reviewer edit current”: “”, > “reviewer flip card 1”: " ", > “reviewer flip card 2”: “Qt.Key\_Return”, > “reviewer flip card 3”: “Qt.Key\_Enter”, > “reviewer mark card”: “”, > “reviewer more options”: “”, > “reviewer options menu”: “”, > “reviewer pause audio”: “”, > “reviewer play recorded voice”: “”, > “reviewer previous card info”: “”, > “reviewer record voice”: “”, > “reviewer replay audio 1”: “”, > “reviewer replay audio 2”: “”, > “reviewer seek backward”: “”, > “reviewer seek forward”: “”, > “reviewer set due date”: “”, > “reviewer set flag 0”: “”, > “reviewer set flag 1”: “”, > “reviewer set flag 2”: “”, > “reviewer set flag 3”: “”, > “reviewer set flag 4”: “”, > “reviewer set flag 5”: “”, > “reviewer set flag 6”: “”, > “reviewer set flag 7”: “”, > “reviewer suspend card”: “”, > “reviewer suspend note”: “”, > “window\_browser \_filters”: { > “\_concat”: {}, > “\_orConcat”: {} > }, > “window\_browser add note”: “”, > “window\_browser add tag”: “”, > “window\_browser change deck”: “”, > “window\_browser change note type”: “”, > “window\_browser clear unused tags”: “”, > “window\_browser close”: “”, > “window\_browser delete”: “”, > “window\_browser filter”: “”, > “window\_browser find”: “”, > “window\_browser find and replace”: “”, > “window\_browser find duplicates”: “”, > “window\_browser first card”: “”, > “window\_browser flag\_blue”: “”, > “window\_browser flag\_green”: “”, > “window\_browser flag\_orange”: “”, > “window\_browser flag\_red”: “”, > “window\_browser forget card”: “”, > “window\_browser goto card list”: “”, > “window\_browser goto next note”: “”, > “window\_browser goto note”: “”, > “window\_browser goto previous note”: “”, > “window\_browser goto sidebar”: “”, > “window\_browser guide”: “”, > “window\_browser info”: “”, > “window\_browser invert selection”: “”, > “window\_browser last card”: “”, > “window\_browser manage note types”: “”, > “window\_browser preview”: “”, > “window\_browser remove current filter”: “”, > “window\_browser remove tag”: “”, > “window\_browser reposition”: “”, > “window\_browser reschedule”: “”, > “window\_browser save current filter”: “”, > “window\_browser select all”: “”, > “window\_browser select notes”: “”, > “window\_browser sidebar search”: “”, > “window\_browser sidebar select”: “”, > “window\_browser suspend”: “”, > “window\_browser toggle mark”: “”, > “window\_browser undo”: “”, > “Ω custom paste end style”: “”, > “Ω custom paste extra texts”: {}, > “Ω custom paste text”: “”, > “Ω enable conflict warning”: “”, > “Ω enable editor”: “”, > “Ω enable m\_toolbox”: “”, > “Ω enable main”: “”, > “Ω enable reviewer”: “”, > “Ω enable window\_browser”: “” > } Any ideas? **EDIT:** Everywhere above when you see ““””, it should read “less-than” followed by “nop” followed by “greater-than”, in quotes, as in this screenshot: ![Screenshot 2024-03-07 at 7.20.35 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/e/e/ee5d0e7f6dd21cfc7c1b6e13899410cf14398ad3.png) Sorry, I still haven’t figured out how to make the nops not disappear here. ---

Why not assign some other key? For example, `Ctrl+Shift+J` ---

That is a good idea, thank you. However, I am still a bit confused about why my attempt with “n” + “o” + “p” didn’t work. (Writing those letters apart like that since I don’t want them to be invisible again.) ---

I tried `""` and it worked (Bury is disabled), so that is a strange problem (Have you restarted Anki?). `"reviewer bury card": "",` To write the code, enclose it in ``` or `. If it is multiple lines, it is three. ```plaintext `"reviewer bury card": "",` ``` ---

Strange indeed. I have restarted, so I have no idea what’s going on. Oh well, thank you for your help! And thanks for telling me about ``` and `. ---
