Feature suggestion: alternative cloze note generation
An alternative way of generating notes
is using one note
per subject with clozes for the different questions, for instance using Flexible cloze 2 (GitHub) or similar note style. The advantage of this is keeping related questions in the same place, facilitating updating existing subjects. It also corresponds well with note taking from a lecture for instance (the entire lecture on on note
). A feature suggestion would be to be able to generate one note
per file:
- Having cloze shortcuts (
Ctrl+Shift+C
/Ctrl+Alt+C
). - Configurable target
note type
/model
. - Using the first top level heading (
#
) asTitle
field (field name configurable). - Running the remaining document through
marked
as is. - Extra: ensure the generated HTML is "compatible" with the Anki editor (doesn't use
<p>
etc.). I have an extension (GitHub) that inserts Markdown editors in Anki, it uses unified.js for Markdown ↔ HTML conversions and contains code to adapt the HTML to "Anki style HTML".
Thoughts? I could probably create a PR for it but it would require me to read up on the Anki for VSCode
source and I think the actual implementation (excluding the HTML compatibility) would be fairly simple so if anyone who already knows the code base is up for it that would be great.
I like the idea of having a Cloze shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C or Ctrl+Alt+C
where the user could highlight a word and with a keyboard combination make it a Cloze
