Description
Anki Symbols, now with added Symbols!
The menu can also be triggered by Ctrl+S.
Revamped the whole addon to tackle Anki 2.1, as well as added more symbols and customisation. Now includes "Last Used" symbol to aid in the menu spam.
Favourites menu can be edited in the Anki Config via Tools > Add-Ons > Config
Just add the symbols you want to the "favourites" key and they will appear. Whole Char Sets can be added in a similar fashion, just keep to the current Schema.
Feel free to suggest any additional symbols to the current set, and we can share them with everyone!
Change Log
2019-06-01: Anki 2.0 Updated to ~feature parity due to popular request
2019-04-18: Fixed the crashing! (I think)
2018-08-28 First Blood Part 2: Anki 2.1 version freshly revamped and now contains more features (at least until I backport them)
2018-08-28: Now with Maths!

Broke my Ctrl+s shortcut for another addon. Please consider adding a point in the options for users to be able to change the shortcut keys. Very helpful addon otherwise. Thanks!

TOP!!!

Just what I was looking for!
on
Perfect

very helpful

Great add-on BUT one small issue
(Couldn't find a contact author button sadly)
You are NOT able to insert symbols in the search field in the browse window of Anki.
(though you are able to insert symbols in the fields of the flashcards themselves in browse mode, luckily)

Very useful add-on and works well! Especially helpful for chemistry/biology/mathematics!
You can even customise your favourite symbols for quick access:
(go to "Tools" --> "Add-ons" --> select "Symbols" --> Click "config" --> manually edit your "favourites" list)

makes life much easier! thx a lot :)
on
very helpful, thanks a lot
on
Really helpful, a must-have add-on!
on
Must have.
on
Useful
on
I wish I could use it on typed answers as well. Would help language learners a lot.
on
how can i put exponent or square on top ?
on
Adds functionality to have Greek letters very well; the last-used symbol feature is also very convenient.
on
So useful for my Science entrance exams!
on
Really helpful! I don't have to copy and paste or type in alt codes anymore. THANK YOU!
on
Should be implemented in Anki
Must have add-on

Thanks

Thank you!

Could you please add the double-square brackets ⟦ and ⟧ ? That would be so nice for semantic terms. Great add-on, thank you so much.
on
Great add-on! Is it possible you could add the symbol for Angstrom? It's like an A with a ring above it.
on
useful thing
on
Exactly what I was looking for
on
Very helpfull and time saving
on
Helped me a lot for my Engineering Courses!!
Thanks a lot!!
Thanks a lot!!

Esta la raíz cuadrada y la mayoria por no decir todos los simbolos matematicos... Thank you
on
Thanks! This is can help me in something situations
on
very helpful! But please add more Symbols for math (Staples of various types, further formula symbols ...) for an easier work :)
on
Excelente.
on
Amazing!! No more opening a Word doc to enter symbols. Simple, quick, easy to use add-on that I wish I had found ages ago! Thank you :)
on
Very useful for entering symbols!
on
Its really a great Add-on - thank you. Works perfectly on Mac !
on
2 thumbs up!!! My only request is to be able to use the short cut on mac in the search bar so that I dont have to copy and paste symbols I am searching for :)
on
Why did I add this just now?! Thanks a lot!
on
Just opened it, looks fantastic.
thumbs up.
thumbs up.

Couldn't type DELTA into anki using my usual method on Ubuntu. Also couldn't remember the unicode half the time. This solves both problems beautifully!
on
Awesome add-on - easy to use and no bugs. Great for adding arrows in chemical equations.
on
This is awesome! It saves a lot of time!

Fab. Thanks! Making flashcards will be far more efficient now

unclear as to how to add symbols
on
Thank you
on
Thanks. It's useful for me
on
A real time saver!
on
Perfect for Maths!
on
Now I don't have to google a lot of the more common symbols, makes it simple to just insert them! Helpful.

Great! So useful, thanks!

Great work!!

works most of the time with Ctrl s
on
I have used it a lot and it is just what I needed to write maths equations quickly.
Using it from the toolbar works with 50% crash rate. However, using 'Ctrl s' seems to work everytime so that's not a problem.
some symbols in case anyone needed them:
∧∨¬⇒⇔∴∃∄∀+⊕±∓×⋅÷∛∜√₀₁₂ᵢ²ⁿ½∅∈∉⊆⊂⊈∪∩→↦ℕℤℝℚℂℙⅈ=≠≈≡≢≅<>≤≥⊴∑∏∫∮∝∞|∤⟂∥∦∡⊿△⦜°π⟨⟩

You're a lifesaver thanks for the symbols!
The only caveat of this tool is in browse I've noticed symbols don't go to the cursor when applied and they go to the bottom of the card instead. Other than that it's awesome.

Been using for a while on MacOS Mojave and very happy with it. However, updated Anki to 2.1 today and it won't let me add symbols in the "Add" dialogue anymore! Still works in the "Browse" dialogue though. Please fix this!
on
Works well. This will definitely save me time
on
Using with v2.1.8 on Windows and works great most of the time.
Sometimes I get the following error:
line 38, in <lambda> return lambda s=editor: add_char(editor, symbol)
line 43, in add_char editor.web.eval("wrap('%s', '');" % x)
<class 'AttributeError'>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'eval'
for example when I move from adding a symbol via the 'Add' window to the 'Browse' window and then I just have to restart anki.

Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah, there seems to be a problem moving between contexts. I'm looking into it, but haven't been able to find a solution just yet.

Love this add-on, however, just like most everyone has experienced, it just keeps crashing. It only seems to work 1/5 tries...
on
Very useful for me, thanks!
But an inconvenient is that you couldn't place it in the middle of text.... so with all respect I kind of mixed your code with other addon (sync between HTML - from Glutanimate) to increase the experience for me, if you want to check and maybe do similar thing on the original: https://github.com/danieldiast/anki_addons/ << file Symbols.py

Thanks for the review, and that's no problem!
The addon was basically completely rewritten for the 2.1 version and this bug was fixed for that.

works great - anki 2.1 on Mac
on
This keeps crashing. It only worked for me once.
on
Symbols are not added where the text cursor is.
on
Couldn't use this add on as every time I attempted to enter a symbol it kept saying an error had occurred
on
Good add on, but could you please make it so that the symbols are inserted where the text cursor is at, and not at the end of the card after adding a line break.

Hopefully you'll notice this! Could you perhaps add the 'left tack' or ⊣ sign to your add on, as it's a useful symbol for 'inhibition' in medicine.

Hi! Glad you like the addon. So this issue is fixed in the Anki 2.1 version of the addon, which is where I'm focusing most of my efforts. Backporting some of the new changes to anki 2.0 is on a todo list, but a little low down in priority.
on
Crashes half of the time
But really useful when it works the other half.

I love the idea of this add-on but it crashes very often. Below is the message that pops up:

Installed the addon and it didn't work at all. When trying to add the arrow symbol, an error message would pop up saying that I have to close anki and disable the addon.
on
It was great when it worked for 1 day but I can't get it to work anymore! A window keeps popping up saying that there's an error to this add on. Can you please fix it?
Comment from author
Sorry to hear you're having trouble. It hasn't been updated in the last couple of days, and still working on my end. Are you using any other addons? Would you mind opening an issue here - https://github.com/glfharris/symbols

Incredible! It's so easy to add your own symbols. I make a lot of cards for keyboard shortcuts so this really speeds things up for symbols like ⇧.
on
Works now after it was rewritten for 2.1! Love it.
on
After Install on Anki 2.1, has error when loading anki.
Comment from author
That's what I get for skimming the docs! Rewritten for 2.1, as well as added some new features, should work now!
on
Very nifty. Thanks!
on
nice!useful addon

THANK YOU !!
I made a card with the tag "Symbols" so I could use these symbols to avoid having to go on the Internet every time. Your add-on is a really good idea ! These are the symbols I put in this card (I am a medical student) : • ● ○ ■ ® ↗ ↘ ⇒ ⇔ → ⍺ ß α β ɣ ≥ ≤ ø Ø ≠ ≈ μ É È

Late reply but... Thanks! I'm a med student too, there are loads of us here! Just added some maths operators.
