Hi all, Thanks for all your work on the app. Ever since Auto Advance was built into the desktop app I’ve been using it every day and find it an invaluable addition to Anki. It would be nice, however, if there was some kind of toggle to have Auto Advance on by default. It’s not a huge deal, but it’…

Would also like to see this. It’s the only thing stopping me from replacing the Speed Focus addon with the official auto advance feature. Needing to enable auto advance every time is quite an annoyance.

I was thinking the same, if it is not planned to be officially incorporated I think I will develop an add-on. For now I have only developed a function to auto stop Auto Advance. (because I want to auto-stop when review is interrupted by my add-on)

This can be done using a card template. A script that runs the function after a specified time has elapsed. [image] Window: setTimeout() method - Web APIs | MDN The setTimeout() method of the Window interface sets a timer which executes a function or specified piece of code once the ti…

I have not tested this solution. To summarize all of the above Front <script> function createTimer(delay) { setTimeout(function() { try { // AnkiDroid showAnswer(); } catch { // Desktop pycmd("ans"); } }, delay); } createTimer(20000); // 20 seconds </script> Back <sc…

If your cards have auto-playing audio, then the javascript auto-advance will cut off currently playing audio when the timer finishes. You’d need to turn off audio auto-play in the deck options and instead implement audio auto-play in javascript so that the auto-advance javascript would have access …

I didn’t plan on going that far. Will not be friends with {{FrontSide}}. <script> ;(async function() { // AnkiMobile && AnkiDroid / Anki 2.1 const elements = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(".soundLink, .replacebutton")) const wait = t => new Promise(s => setTimeout(s, t)) let index = 0 …

I’d love that as well! It worked like that on Android before the last update, and the update-downgrade made me sad :frowning: The workarounds aren’t viable - what if you have multiple decks? What if I want to disable just for this session and I’m on mobile? These cases are covered already in the “A…

This would make Anki so much better. I find myself needing to edit a card multiple times per review session, and having to re-enable auto-advance every time, while not the end of the world, feels like an unnecessary inconvenience.

Wish the native auto advance would have the sound alert For the time being, there’s Speed Focus Mode (auto-alert, auto-reveal, auto-answer) , which plays by default Note: In order to get to the add-on’s settings, you’ll need to draw up the classic deck options screen. Sadly this is a bit hidden, b…
