Make Keyboard Press Behaviour Consistent

  • Go to Settings > Controls and assign Space to “Answer good”.
  • Go to reviewer and hold down Space.

This performs multiple control actions so you end up answering multiple cards. As you can accidentally long press, this is considered a single click in desktop. This is not only inconsistent with the desktop behaviour, but is inconsistent even within the AnkiDroid app.

For example, press and hold Ctrl+any other key and it’s considered a single click. Contrarily, If I press and hold Shift with other keys, this behaves like the Space example above. But then, PageUp/Down keys work like Ctrl does.

If there is any internal logic to all of this that I’m not getting, I’ll be happy to learn.
