Browser: Table/Editor side-by-side (horizontal split)
0.01MB. Updated 2022-01-26.

item(s).
Description
This add-on allows to move the editor from the bottom of to the right side of the table.
The default shortcut is "Ctrl+Alt+8" (on MacOS you use "Cmd" instead of "Ctrl"). You can adjust the shortcut in the add-on config (as well as if it's side-by-side by default).
This screenshot shows the deck Ultimate Geography v3.2. The button "SearchDialog" is created by the add-on BetterSearch.
# known limitations, problems, incompatibilities
- Browser Maximize/Hide Table/Editor: They mostly work together but the table and or editor is not fully hidden.
- Card Info Bar for Browser: They mostly work together but you have to close and re-open the info bar to adjust its width.

# versions
- 2022-01-26 different menuView detection for better compatibility with other add-ons
- 2021-12-05 fix for 2.1.50 - thanks @kleinerpirat helping.
- 2021-05-27 fix for 2.1.45 - I deleted the functionality to move the searchbar (searchEdit) for 41+ because since this version the wide buttons Search, Preview, etc. have been removed so that the search area is wide enough.
- 2020-07-08 disable for latest version of BetterSearch (because BetterSearch already moves the search bar)
- 2020-07-03 option "when narrow move search bar to extra line" (default is true),
- 2020-01-13 in the add-on config you can enable that if the browser window gets too narrow the orientation automatically toggles to vertical (and back if you make the window wider). To enable this function set "toggle to vertical if editor narrower than" to a number like 300.
- 2019-12-25 prevent Anki from saving modified splitter so that it's not side by side after uninstalling; night-mode compatibility
- 2019-12-22 initial release

there is one bug with the addon, it is so annoying, when you are selecting a card and pressing preview for the first time it will show you the preview, but for the second time when you are selecting a different card and pressing the preview again it will not show the preview but there is audio of it, I love this addon and I hate that I'm giving it a dislike I'm just doing it because I want you to see it after that I will change it to a like.
this is the bug that I recorded

Comment from author
Edit: update your add-ons and restart Anki and try again. On 2022-01-25 I uploaded a new version that should fix this problem.
--------
I just tried but I can't reproduce the problem with the latest version of my "side-by-side" add-on and glutanimate's "highlight search results" add-on. So I can't help.
Two ideas:
- have you disabled all other add-ons, restarted anki and tried again. Does the problem really persists. Maybe another add-on is the problem. if so say which.
- In the past (maybe two years) with old add-on versions you had this problem of multiple menu entries with the same name. maybe you have a really old anki or add-on version. have you checked for add-on updates and hopefully you are on something around 2.1.28 or later ...

Love it. Should be implemented by default.

This has vastly improved my work flow. I love it!

Thanks!

It must be a default feature!!!! Great add-on. Thanks a lot!

thanks

Just exactly what I needed <3

Much better than the default Anki browser.

One day, this will be included in anki by default. Good job!
EDIT: seems to be incompatible with "Browser Maximize/Hide Table/Editor" on 2.1.46 (debian buster)

Comment from author
Thanks for the kind words.
I'm not on 2.1.46 yet so I only did a very brief test with those on .46 and didn't find a major problem. But that doesn't say much ...
Could you post at https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/browser-table-editor-side-by-side-horizontal-split-official-thread/548/11 and describe the exact steps needed to reproduce the problem or maybe share a screencast. Since a lot of problems are add-on conflicts: Disable all other add-ons you have first, then restart Anki to actually disable them and then reproduce the problem. That would help me a lot.

Perfect for horizontal screens. The default Anki is better for vertical screens.

If your cards have a lot of pictures, you completely need this addon. Makes viewing complete images on a card much easier. Probably my favorite addon.
on
one of Best add-on ever
on
Wonderful addon. Can't imagine the browser without it
But as a note, if anyone reading this is having trouble with this addon in anki version 2.1.41 and up, check to see if you're using the addon "BetterSearch," then DELETE IT. Don't disable it. DELETE it. That will get this addon working again.

thanks for these kind words.
About the compatibility with BetterSearch: The user also reported that after reinstalling BetterSearch both add-ons worked well together, see https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/browser-table-editor-side-by-side-horizontal-split-official-thread/548/12 So you should be able to work with both add-ons.

Could you please help me out with the "toggle to vertical if editor narrower than" feature? I'm trying to make it so that by default, the editor is on the side of the browser when the browser is fully expanded. However, when I resize the browser window (make it narrower horizontally), I want it to switch the editor back to the bottom. I was able to do this to some degree, but it doesn't seem consistent. I tried "toggle to vertical if editor narrower than 300" true, but that didn't seem to work. This is what I currently have in the config, but as I said it's not consistent
{
"shortcut": "ctrl+alt+8",
"side-by-side is default": true,
"toggle to vertical if editor narrower than": 1500,
"when narrow move search bar to extra line": true
}

> I tried "toggle to vertical if editor narrower than 300" true
I guess that's a typo in your review? You would have to set it to
"toggle to vertical if editor narrower than": 300
But I guess that's what you mean. For most users 1500 should be too high but maybe you have a high resolution monitor.
> it's not consistent
That might happen. I release add-ons that work on my computer with my anki version with my add-on selection. If you have another OS, other add-ons, or another Anki version there's always some risk of problems - especially when it comes to UI (User face) elements. I just know that for me it works and so far I have no bug report with sufficient info to reproduce the problem so that I could fix it. I have no idea where I should start looking with your info.
"Sufficient info" means the exact steps on how to reproduce it and the anki version, your os, and your debug info which you get from the main window when you click on Help->About. In the window that opens click the "Copy Debug Info" Button and share the copied text - and if it's related to some custom config all your add-on settings (like you shared them).
When you have more maybe post it in the anki forum (on the top right of this website there's "contact author").

Makes much better use of horizontal screen estate, so it should come in very nifty on my desktop. Thanks!
