Keyboard Shortcuts Not Responding (when answering cards)

Hello, I just updated to the most recent version of Anki. I have a MacBook Air (2022) so I am using the silicon 25.02.01. Since this update, all of my answer keys (1,2,3,4) except for the space bar have stopped responding. This is fixed when I press esc but it’s just getting old. I have gone through the suggestions on anki help (running safe mode, deleting add ons, checking keyboard, restarting computer, closing other applications that may be running) and I even attempted to download a keyboard shortcut add on to get this working again but to no avail. Please let me know what I can do, thanks.

Try reassigning Again…Easy to 1,2,3 4

That suggests that something else is holding your cursor focus when the buttons aren’t working.

  • Is there anything running inside your card templates that is taking focus? – Check if this is happening for all note types/card types, or just some of them.
  • Is there anything you’re running outside of Anki that is taking focus?
  • There weren’t many changes in 25.02.01. What version were you using before updating, when it was working fine?
