Clue of add shortcuts
Posted on 2016-09-30

colours = [
("red", "F8"),
("#00f", "F9"), ("#AA5603", "F10"),("#000", "F11"), ("green", "F6")
]

Great!

Works well. I could also create multikey shortcuts by moving the colours list below the import statements in the code. Below you can see that the yellow color can be applied by hitting Ctrl + P:


from aqt import mw
from aqt.qt import *
from anki.hooks import addHook

colours = [
("yellow", Qt.CTRL + Qt.Key_P),
]

Old, but still gold!

Though this tool hasn't been updated for almost 4 years, it still works like a charm.

It works on Windows 10, Linux, Mac OS X. I use all these operating systems, and this adds-on works on all of them.

Someone posted 'not working' on mac, which is not true for my Mac OS X El Capitan. For those having trouble making it to work on Mac, please try to press 'fn' key at the same time when you press F8/F9/F10 key.

I also did a little modification to display 3 different colors - more than enough for my use.

Fantastic! This saves an immense amount of time for visually encoding gender (or really any other category...) into a deck for learners like me.

Saves times!!

Thanks to the guy who posted the mod for combo keys!

This addon is not bad, but as it was, it was not very useful. Who posted that little hack, thank you very much, because now it makes sense using this addon.

Some issues

was hoping it could override the default hotkeys (like F3), but otherwise works great.

also wish Ctrl+R worked in the same way (subsequent text would be normal).
