Anki add-on: Speed Focus Mode (auto-alert, auto-reveal, auto-answer)

Trains your attention and speed by performing automated actions if you take too long to go through your reviews. Three different levels of 'encouragements' are provided: automatically play an alert automatically reveal the answer automatically fail the card All of these can be configured individually for each deck options group. SCREENSHOTS CHANGELOG Version 1.0.0 – 2022-12-16 IMPORTANT : Releases of the add-on past v1.0.0 are only compatible with Anki 2.1.55 and up. If you are on an earlier Anki release there is no need to worry: Copying the AnkiWeb add-on code into Anki will automatically download a compatible version of the add-on for you. However, please be aware that it will not include the latest changes below. Added Added a button that stops automated events from firing ("More Time!"). Can be disabled in the new config file. Added a hotkey that that does the same (configurable, set to p by default, thanks to AnKing for the inspiration) Added a simple countdown , indicating the time until the next automated card action You can now bury cards (thanks to NicolasCuri for the inspiration) You can now mark cards as "good" in addition to "again" (thanks to JulyMorning for the feature request) Added ability to launch card actions from the question side, skipping the answer reveal (e.g. to bury cards immediately, thanks to Ba for the suggestion) Timers are now suspended automatically when opening dialogs Timers are now suspended automatically when typing answer Changed Raised minimum supported version to Anki 2.1.55 in order to conserve development time and prepare for upcoming refactor of Anki's main screen. Please note that Anki versions 2.1.45 and above ship with a new deck options screen whose add-on APIs are still not fully set in stone and is thus not viable to support just yet. To access the old deck options and thus Speed Focus Mode's settings, please shift click on the "Options" entry after clicking on the gear icon next to a deck. sound.mp3 files should now be placed in the user_files directory to preserve them across add-on updates. Some further code refactoring and reorganization to improve maintainability and support with upcoming Anki updates Fixed Fixed an issue that would cause the add-on to produce an error message when opening the card browser in some scenarios (#38) Fixed a compatibility issue with Clickable Tags, AnkiConnect, Review Heatmap, and other add-ons wrapping the dialog manager (#34, #28, #27, #23) Dropped support for very old Anki versions. The minimum supported version is now 2.1.22. Addressed an issue that would cause the alert not to play in some scenarios Added a workaround to make Speed Focus Mode compatible with Advanced Review Bottom Bar USAGE 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, but here is how to get to the screen: 1. From Anki's main window (where your list of decks is shown), click on the gear icon of the deck you want to enable Speed Focus Mode for. This should draw up a small floating context menu with a few entries. 2. Click on the "Options" entry while holding down the Shift key on your keyboard. This will make Anki draw up the classic deck options view, where you'll find Speed Focus Mode's options under the "General" tab Adding support for the new deck options screen is on my todo-list, but it's difficult to implement at the moment because a lot of these newer parts of Anki's user interface are still undergoing changes which add-ons have to adjust to. ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS Open deck options Navigate to the 'General' tab Find the three new options as shown in the screenshot above and configure them to your liking The alert and answer reveal timeout refer to seconds spent on the question side, while the auto-'again' timer starts counting after revealing the question. Setting any of the timers to 0 will disable them. CONFIGURATION You can customize the alert sound by replacing alert.mp3 in the add-on folder with a sound file of your choice. Just make sure that it's named the same and sporting the same file format. HELP AND SUPPORT Please do not use reviews for bug reports or support requests .
