Hierarchical Tags

<10kB. Updated 2014-04-29.

Description

This addon adds hierarchical tags to the browser in Anki. To create hierarchies use double-colons in the tag names, for example "learning::anki" or "language::japanese". This addon is licensed under the same license as Anki itself (GNU Affero General Public License 3). Known Issues When clicking on a tag in the hierarchy, an asterisk is added to the search term. The effect of that is that all notes with that tag and all subtags are searched for. But a side-effect is, that all tags with the same prefix are matched. For example if you have a tag it and a tag italian, clicking on the tag it would also show content from italian. Let me know if this affects you and I'll try to work around this. Support The add-on was written by Patrice Neff. I try to monitor threads in the Anki Support forum. To be safe you may also want to open a ticket on the plugin's GitHub issues page.

So useful

Words are not enough to describe how useful this addon is! Thanks a lot for making this great addon.

Excellent little addon

I mainly use Anki for language learning, and love to categorize via tags; this naturally allows lots and lots of tags to pile up (at time of writing, I'm at about 91 tags total). This addon lets me further categorize the tags so that I'm not looking at a gigantic list whenever I want to study by tag or check and see how many cards of a certain tag I have. The only thing you can't do that I wish you could is have the tag field for a new card auto-complete if you type in a subtag.

For example, if I've got the subtag language::japanese, and I want to add a new japanese card, I would need to start typing 'language' for the auto-complete to kick in, while it would be super handy for me to just be able to type 'japanese'. Anyways, it's just a minor nitpick in an otherwise great addon!

Keep your Anki decks organized

"Hierarchical Tags" helps people who study several languages/domains with Anki. Thumbs up!

Thank you!

This is a great add on! So much cleaner than having hundreds of individual tags!

Amazing!

Perfect!

Exactly what I needed. Saves me from scrolling between 35 subcategories under 3 categories (and counting). Super easy to use and works perfectly. Thank you!

Works great

Powerful tool

The best adds-on for Anki, and most essential one as well. This gives you a great way to organize your cards into a beautiful structure.

Must have.

This changed a lot the way I use tags.

Only it cannot change me. ;-) So it's a pity that there is no way to change multiple tags at once like we can change cards in the Browser.

Here is a patch to ignore case in the tags (works better with ASCII tags than non-ASCII ones): https://github.com/pneff/anki-hierarchical-tags/pull/2/files

Very neat!

If you like the new collapsible decks, you may want to try this.

The separator can be changed in the file “hierarchical_tags.py”. (I use a hyphen.)

Thanks!

Simple, nice, and easy.
