Minor mode to synchronize your org-mode entries to Anki.
Works via AnkiConnect add-on to Anki.[fn:via]
Creates “Basic” or “Cloze” type notes.
By default “Basic” cards are created where org entry’s heading is the
card front and content is the back.[fn:how] If the heading has Cloze
syntax ({{...}}) then the heading is used to create both the
question and the answer, and content of the org entry is not used.
Tags are also synchronized.
See example.org and the resulting screenshots for how the cards look after being synced to Anki.
org-anki-sync-entry- adds or updates the current org-entry under cursor.
org-anki-sync-all- adds or updates all entries in buffer. Use #+ANKI_MATCH: some_property=”some value” at top-of-file to selectively sync matched entries. Syntax is same as the MATCH argument for org-map-entries.
org-anki-delete-entry- deletes entry from Anki. Entry must have
ANKI_NOTE_IDproperty. org-anki-delete-all- delete all entries with
ANKI_NOTE_IDproperty set from Anki. org-anki-cloze-dwim- converts a region or word under cursor to
Cloze syntax, i.e
{{c1::hidden text::hint text}}. This should be used in org entry’s title.
- Start Anki with AnkiConnect installed 62AC
- Set destination deck name, either as:
(customize-set-variable 'org-anki-default-deck "my-target-deck")in your .emacs#+ANKI_DECK: my-target-deckon top of an .org file:ANKI_DECK: my-target-deckin the properties’ drawer of the item- Note that deck mentioned in the above ways must pre-exist (it has to be separately created in the Anki app)
- Run
anki-sync-entryto sync org entry under cursor - Run
org-anki-delete-entryto delete entry under cursor
Note: the card browser must be closed while synchronizing, as it won’t update the note otherwise (issue).
You probably want to bind org-anki-sync-entry to a key sequence, but not
org-anki-delete-entry – as accidentally deleting notes will become too
easy.
In any case, don’t forget to create backups, as deleting notes will lose their scheduling information.
.. as there are anki-editor, pamparam, org-drill, org-fc?
Anki-editor requires subheadings for card front and card back, thus existing .org notes need to be modified to be ankified. This package takes the heading as card front and content as card back.
The other three are emacs or org-mode only[fn:others], so no spaced repetition from your phone or web.
[fn:via] AnkiConnect starts a HTTP server on localhost:8765 which the current package talks to.
[fn:how] It does this even if the next heading is a sub-heading (you probably don’t want subheadings in card contents anyway).
[fn:others] I mean, do you really want to use this just to use Anki?? :p
