New Anki Addon: Quick Clipboard Copy
Added 2020-08-17 09:48:13 +0000 UTCI just released a new, very simple addon: automatically copy a particular field to the clipboard when selecting a note in the browser.
When organizing my Anki flashcards, I frequently need to copy a particular field from my notes to the clipboard, for example to look it up in a dictionary. The normal way of selecting the note, then going to the right field, selecting all and hitting Ctrl+C, is tedious. With this add-on, as soon as you select the note in the Anki browser, the relevant field is automatically copied to the clipboard.
Installation
Install from https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1297559139
Configuration
You do need to configure the addon to tell it which field in your note type needs to be copied to the clipboard. After installing the addon, select it in the Anki addon manager, then click Config
in my case, I have a note-type called Chinese-Words. In that note type, the field of interest for me is Chinese. So my configuration looks like this:
{ "Chinese-Words": "Chinese" }
You could add multiple note types, like this:
{ "Chinese-Words": "Chinese", "Italian": "Word", }
After configuration, restart Anki, and as soon as you select a note in the card browser, the relevant field will be copied to the clipboard.
