Multi-column note editor

0.01MB. Updated 2020-05-23.
The author has shared 81 other item(s).

Description

Use multiple columns in the note editor. You can easily change the number of columns shown using the Columns field added by the add-on, and you can have a different number of columns for different note types and window types (browser, note adder, etc). If you have any fields that take up a lot of space, you can configure them to take up an entire row by clicking on the small link "»-«" near it, or the shortcut (by default F10) If you want to use the add-on Frozen Field, please use the version https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/389392894 Current version: 2.6 Changes in 2.6: - Fix image overflow Changes in 2.5: - Anki 2.1 support. The add-on will no longer receive updates for Anki 2.0.x Changes in 2.4: - You can now choose fields to take up an entire row. Changes in 2.3: - Remember column count on a per-note-type basis (in addition to screen). Changes in 2.2: - Column count setting is in the corner now instead of own line (more space!) - Don't stretch the table vertically (that was annoying and looked bad). Changes in 2.1: - Remember the column count depending on context (i.e., separate counts for browser, note adder, etc).

Can you please put a bug report on https://github.com/Arthur-Milchior/anki-Multi-column-edit-window/issues and a screenshot, so I know what's wrong and how to correct it.

Very neat. Plasters the console with "uncaught cmd mceTrigger" and "JS error on line 150: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerHTML' of undefined", though.

Great addon. Thank you very much. And yes, it is true – the addon does not work with the Frozen Field addon (https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/516643804). But that does not warrant a downvote in my view. For the moment the user just has to make a choice. I chose this one.

I'm on macOS Mojave, with Anki 2.1.15.

Broken in build 2.1.12 (Windows X)

Does not work for 2.1, provides error message after opening browser and clicking on any card

Buggy. For a month now, it was absolutely perfect. It saved me so much time. Weirdly enough, it became buggy recently. On one computer, the columns would be ~3 cm away from each other even though anki is in full screen. On another computer, it didn't work. I tried adjusting the column numbers and reinstalling the addon to no avail.

No more scrolling!

Fantastic. Please keep making great add-ons, your work is top notch. Thank you!

Cool ^^
on 1513728000
Excellent!
I have 16 fields and this has simplified my data enter. No more scrolling to enter data.
Thank you!

Awesome ! but ……

Really useful ! but it would be much better for users to customize the location of columns.

Under development

This add-on, to be useful, needs to implement:
*single column; and
*scroll each column separated.

Unacceptably changes card content

I'm not sure why, but this add-on will change fields within your existing notes. See here:
https://github.com/hssm/anki-addons/blob/master/multi_column_editor.py#L62-70

What this means is that if you have a <table> element in any of your fields, this add-on will force the width of the first <td> to be 28px. I was flabbergasted when I saw this happening to me and couldn't figure out what was the problem but I traced the issue to this add-on. This is particularly pernicious because the description doesn't mention that this add-on would edit anything contained within notes. Use with extreme caution!!

Handy.

Thanks. It works well for me.

Doesn't work

It doesn't work for me (OS X Mavericks). To be more precise, I see the configuration for the columns, but I don't get two columns if I set it to 2.
on 1398384000
This should be built into Anki's core. Great idea!

This is a great addon...

Thanks for writing this. It makes modifying my notes faster. It also makes is quicker to browse my notes.
