Anki add-on: Anki magnifying glass mouse cursor

Alt + C to "see" small details. This makes a "magnifying glass" mouse cursor (slices a square off of the Anki window and makes the mouse cursor a magnified version of that square). When Alt + C is released, the mouse cursor will reset after a short time. You can customize settings such as the amount of magnification, size of the crosshairs, and time delay for resetting the mouse cursor from the Config button from the Add-ons menu under Tools. The amount of magnification is controlled by specification of the size of the square to slice off the window and the size of the square that the mouse cursor should become. This is useful for studying IO cards with small, hard-to-see details, and was something that I personally wanted in Anki for a long time. If you notice the magnifying glass mouse cursor resetting once shortly after turning on, this may be due to the operating system keyboard shortcut repeat delay. Changing this to a shorter setting should make that go away. On 12/31/2022, I have removed 2 other versions of this add-on and updated this one to be the latest version. The exact functionality of the other versions can be reproduced by editing the configuration, however it is possible that the refactoring introduced bugs for older Anki versions. If you are having any problems, please make a post on the support thread linked to above or email me . Advice on developing Anki add-ons for beginners
