Multi-column note editor

0.01MB. Updated 2021-11-03.
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).

Waiting for the update :))

The last version of this addon that can work is 2.1.49. I have tried 2.1.50-54, but none of them can work.

Sorry I have to downvote, but the add on doesn't currently work for me using 2.1.54. I have the exact same problem as here https://github.com/Arthur-Milchior/anki-Multi-column-edit-window/issues/29

Amazing add-on, anxiously waiting for the update.

Great addon, thanks to the authors! very helpful for big notes with many fields.

I found a bug (?) or a drawback rather - after installing the addon and in the Anki (latest to date) nightmode, the pin buttons in the add new note dialog are hardly seen (I even thought they disappeared), black (when pinned) or dark-grey (unpinned) on the dark-grey background of the nightmode Anki.

Please fix this or instruct how to adjust these colors manually.

UPD: just checked in daymode - the behaviour of the pins is also buggy: when you click on the second and further fields' pins, only the first field's pin is activated/deactivated, the 2nd+ fields' pins stay in the same state no matter what you do, they just don't change. Keyboard shortcut (F9) for pin/unpin field action doesn't seem to work either.

Pls check this

Very useful for note types with a lot of fields - in my view a 'must have' addin

Can you please post the error on github (use "contact the author") so that we can discuss it and I can debug

An indispensable addon. But since Anki 2.1.35 one has to be very careful since the addon surreptitiously injects a lot of HTML junk into one’s own cards – say when one presses the RETURN key. I’ll open a GH Issue in a minute.

I'm on macOS Mojave, with Anki 2.1.40.

great add on. recent update fixed issue with pictures not fitting in their column and overextending into adjacent columns
on 1579806633
Very neat. Plasters the console with "uncaught cmd mceTrigger" and "JS error on line 150: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'innerHTML' of undefined", though.

awsome

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.

Great work, thank you! Please keep working on it.

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.
on 1427414400
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.

This should be built into Anki's core. Great idea!
