I’d like to create study cards to help me remember hotkeys for different programs. For example, in Word: - **Shift + F5** : Jumps to the last place of the cursor - **Ctrl + Alt + S** : Splits the edit screen in two - **Shift + Alt + S** : Applies strikethrough I could make “normal” cards and visualize the key combinations in my mind. However, I’d prefer to actually press the correct key combinations, and if I get it right, the card would be marked as correct. The first challenge is already that this idea conflicts with Anki’s and the system’s shortcuts . Does anyone have suggestions on how I can implement this? I would also appreciate critical feedback, even if it’s something like “forget it, too hard.” ---

I don’t think you’d be able to do this using Anki unfortunately. I use an app called [KeyCombiner](https://keycombiner.com/) that does exactly what you’re after. ---

I don’t think you can have same shortcuts working at the same time with both Anki interface and card scripts. But if you are learning shortcuts that are not a part of the default Anki set or fine with removing/remapping Anki shortcuts to make them available to card scripts (can be done in a separate Anki installation with the same user account to keep Anki shortcuts working when not reviewing the hotkey-studycards), this seems like a pretty straightforward thing. I have an add-on that includes a removal of existing shortcuts function [here](https://github.com/Eltaurus-Lt/Anki-Card-Templates/tree/8262e27599b7f8c7ad07871692d39e50a84ffbed/Add-on) (you are looking for the `Clear_Shortcuts.py` script). For remapping keys you can use [this add-on](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/24411424) instead. After a shortcut is made available for the cards, it is a matter of simply parsing the required key combination stored in the Anki field and adding `document.onkeydown` function to your card, that will compare the event trigger with the questioned shortcut and check additional conditions for Alt/Ctrl/Shift modifiers. ---
