This version of the add-on won't work on newer versions of Anki and won't be updated. You should not use this version. Check Ankiweb for alternatives

 

 

 

 

 

 

This add-on allows to improve clozes usage. See the original author description for more details.

You don't need need JSbooster anymore and no longer need to import a deck.

general warnings

• You should not use this add-on at the moment. This add-on has no maintainer. In 2020-02 it seems to work witht the current version of Anki. But who knows if this will hold true for future versions of Anki. If something breaks there's a good chance that no one will help you so. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
• For each cloze you add this add-on copies the whole text. So if you paste 1000 words into the first field of an enhanced cloze note and do 20 clozes the note will have ultimately 21000 words. If you do this often the size of your database will increase substantially. You can only use Ankiweb if your database (excluding any images which are not in the database) is smaller than 100mb.

Known Limitations, Bugs, Todo

• On Ankidroid 2.9 with Android 10 in 2019-11-27 it doesn't work properly: When you have multiple c1s and on Ankidroid you touch the first one to unveil it it immediatly jumps to the answer and unveils all. I'm not sure that this is expected/desired behavior. On the other hand "Cloze Hide All" from 2019-11-27 also behaves like this: when you unveil one cloze of multiple the answer is revealed (and Cloze Hide All doesn't highlight the cloze as nicely and doesn't scroll to the first).
• might not work on ios, see negative review from 11/24/2019. I don't have an ipad or iphone
• for Anki 2.1.20 or lower: arrow keys don't work in the browser table: second arrow press is redirected to scroll in editor instead of going to the next note. Not very relevant since I can use Ctrl+n/p to go through the list, for details see Arthur-Milchior#11
• the version for 2.0 allows "to go without clozes using this cloze-type templates. Just type question in Content field and answer in Note field.". I removed this in 2019-11 because a side effect was that when using the ctrl+shift+c shortcut clozes always started with c2 ...

Compatibility with other add-ons

• in 2019-11-27 no conflict with the latest version of the official "cloze hide all".

Warning

Make a backup before updating from 2.0 note type to 2.1 note type.

If you used those cards with anki 2.0, you need:

• either to change the note type to "Enhanced cloze 2.1" Improving «change note type» may help you to do the change more safely, since those are clozed note.
• or to copy the front of the note type "Enhanced cloze 2.1" to "Enhanced cloze", remove "Enhanced cloze 2.1" and rename "Enhanced cloze" to "Enhanced cloze 2.1" (this one is more technical, but also safer)
