There are already some add-ons with similar functionality you might want to check out, for example: Fast Word Query 3 - AnkiWeb

I already developed such an add-on. It is possible to add up to 10 Google Images to one note by pressing a button on the editor or reviewer, and bowse can add images in batches of up to about 100 notes per day. In the future I plan to optimize it for language learning (For example, adding audio, definitions, etc.).

Free Google Custom Search API and Google Search Engine ID are required.
iirc you can use Bing search without those. That developer of Jidoujisho that I talked about informed me that using Google complicates the process. Also, my personal opinion, Bing image search is just better. Google shows a lot of low quality images for me.
That would be great. + adding sentences from tatoeba/reverso/massif for japanese.

It is possible, but collecting images without using the API is prohibited by the search sites. They make it impossible to do so, so Add-ons frequently break and require complex code to get around the restrictions.
So using the API makes the add-ons less likely to break, easier to maintain, and if you pay for the API, you can download unlimited numbers of images.
I also tried Bing, but my desired images did not show up in the search results.
I would like to add them in the future.
How long without a reply before you would fix it? I want to bother you as little as possible so I would like to know when I can ask you to take a look again.

All information about the Add-ons I tried to repair is on the Patreon page (Successful, still in process, very difficult, will not repair). This is a Patreon page, but you should be able to view and comment on it for Free.
If you donāt see the add-onās name here I may not have looked it up yet or may have forgotten, so please try contacting me again.
Sorry I didnāt specify. I was talking about the language keyboard switcher. Danika_Dakika linked to the page about it on this thread

Oh, I see.
To be frank, since this Add-on has a rating of 0, I consider it to be in no demand at all. So itās on my task list, but mostly at the tail end.
By the way, my priorities for Add-ons development are roughly like this.
High priority
- I want to use it for my learning
- Relevant to the game
- It is popular
- Has a lot of low ratings (high demand)
Conversely, these are lower in my development priorities
- Extremely popular (Probably someone will fix it)
- Only 1 or 2 ratings (no one is interested)
Can you repair the option in the LifeDrain Custom version (the repaired version by you) for the Default initial life is 0?
I want it to start at 0 and go back to full only when I press recover. But when I press recover, nothing happens.

Hmm, perhaps I feel like I developed it, but I donāt remember much anymore.
The author of LifeDrain is very active in development, so try sending a request through Github.
Good Morning Shigeyuki, If you can fix this, I would appreciate it, thanks in advance

Good morning eroscard, thanks for the request.
I looked into this add-on before, but didnāt know why it was crashing. It is a bit difficult to debug because it crashes without an error report.
But this add-on looks useful, so Iāll look into it again later.

Shigeyuki, I tried to change it, but I couldnāt, so I made a similar addon, but I couldnāt make the sidebar part colored, just the browser background.
Anyway, I made an addon that changes the background color of the browser, but not the sidebar, if you can, take a look, maybe it will help, the code isnāt that big
Another problem with this code is the font size within the classify field, which doesnāt change, I donāt know why

see the addon code with just the colored part of the browser that I came close to, but here it puts the background of all the Anki screens, the main one, the editor one too, but I just wanted the colored browser sidebar
from aqt import gui_hooks
from aqt.browser import Browser
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QMenu, QColorDialog, QApplication
from PyQt6.QtGui import QPalette, QColor
from aqt import mw
def set_background_color(color):
palette = QPalette()
palette.setColor(QPalette.ColorRole.Window, color)
mw.app.setPalette(palette)
save_background_color(color)
def save_background_color(color):
mw.col.conf['background_color'] = color.name()
mw.col.setMod()
def load_background_color():
if 'background_color' in mw.col.conf:
color = QColor(mw.col.conf['background_color'])
set_background_color(color)
def choose_color():
color = QColorDialog.getColor()
if color.isValid():
set_background_color(color)
def add_color_menu(browser: Browser):
menu_bar = browser.menuBar()
menu = menu_bar.addMenu("Cores")
menu.addAction("Escolher cor", choose_color)
gui_hooks.browser_will_show.append(add_color_menu)
gui_hooks.main_window_did_init.append(load_background_color)

Wow, are you a developer?
Iāll look into it later but Iām still busy, if you ask that on this AnkiForums, other developers might be able to tell you.
no, but I know something about programming logic and I learned by tinkering.
The addons I made were thanks to the help of chatgpts

Hmmm, developing new features is a bit difficult.
Basically I repair abandoned and broken add-ons, so I do not advise or repair add-ons for developers. (I am not an advanced programmer.)
Can you add the feature āLeech Toolkit (kar branch)ā adds? Itās the only part of it that clearly works (and helps me to interpret āSee Previous Card Ratings in Reviewer 
ā), and I am not sure your version works any better than that one (except for not showing an error message).
The kar branch also showed a tooltip about reducing the leech count, and added a tag when un-leeching, but I have never paid much attention to that, because it never added the custom leech tag.

Also fixing the Lifedrain addon would be nice. I cant seem to replenish the life bar with the click of a button.
