Anki Cloze Overlapper: Full Tutorial

[@Glutanimate]

At 7:01 I used a single colon for the hint. You actually need to use a double colon, same as with regular cloze deletions

[@sugarmushroom3183]

I just noticed that you corrected yourself in the comment section. Since I'm new at Anki, I thought I had destroyed your add-on lol

no matter how many times I thank u for this it is less!! Thanks for making med school bearable

Hey, got any updates on when the testing phase might be over so it will be publically available? You really are a life saver

[@joanamatos4570]

I just watched all of your videos, it is amazing that you took the time to create these amazing add-ons for us to use, and then break them down for us. Thank you so much for making my life so much easier!

[@Glutanimate]

Hey Joana, thank you so much for your kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video and add-ons.

[@peterbenisch7668]

Thank you so so so much! Learning pathways in courses like Biochemistry and Endocrinology has always been my biggest problem with Anki - it just hasn't worked really. This add on changes everything, it works great!

[@Glutanimate]

Happy to hear that, Peter! These are exactly the type of subjects that drove me to write this add-on.

[@df6148]

18:45 Thank you so much! I've been looking for a way to review lists in a cycled manner that overrides anki spaced based repetition. Just like you said there are times when you have an exam due or just want to cram a study in the specific sequence that you made the cards. You make the best add-ons for Anki!

[@tamale4864]

Ive watched several videos for days and hands down this is the best video ive seen! Thank you for your detailed and helpful videos!

[@fadrian98]

how were you able to download the add-on? Did you get it from his patreon? I have version 23.10 maybe that's why it's not coming up as a note type on my anki.

[@brixlagao3380]

I would really want this one for the new updated version of ANKI

[@trackman07]

When I type a list directly into the 'Original Field' and click the 'Add' button, I receive the error message that no Cloze Deletion has been added. Any help?

[@dequationblog]

Great addon, sir. Much gratitude for the work and thought you put into this app.

[@dadayuan559]

Hello . Greetings from China . I'm just became one of your Patreon membership specifically for this add-on. I appreciate it and it's really powerful for keeping balance between minimum principle and bigger structures (I'm up for law school). One thing I can't figure out tho is what does "gradual build-up/down" do. My poor English won't let me know. Can you help me out by giving a example or something? thanks. (Maybe its too late IDK if you're still doing this)

[@frozen_tortus]

@Glutamine, Thank you for awesome work. I just memorized list of 9 items in a hart beat.

[@margaretdenninbruns116]

I would like to be able to make several cloze deletions that appear at the same time-- [[oc1::]] followed by another [[oc1::]]. I followed the instructions in this video at time point 6:30. When I push Ctrl+Shift+C I get [[oc1::]] and when I push it a second time I get [[oc2::]] When I push Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C I get {{c1::}}, which doesn’t seem to work within the cloze overlapper card. Is there a way to make a keyboard shortcut to insert [[oc1::]] followed by [[oc1::]]? I am using a PC. Thanks!

[@boldric77]

Cant create cards with custom formating. Auto generated preview does what it wants. Stil very useful

[@MarioKstgr]

Normally a typical screen is more wide than high. Would it therefore be possible to display the fields "Title" besides "Original" (instead of underneath)? The same applies to "Remarks". Especially when I put biochem cycles or anatomical structures into "Title" or into "Remarks" this option would be very handy I guess. I had a partial success with the image resizer addon, but the big unpleasant white edges on the side, typical for a widescreen display, are still there. It's just because there is so much unused space, when you know what I mean. Thanks in advance and btw you rock! You helped me so much!

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Mario, sorry for the belated response. My studies have kept me very busy these past few weeks. I see what you mean about the value of vertical screen estate. Restructuring the layout would unfortunately take too much time for me right now, but the great thing about the add-on is that it's fully user-configurable. Just like any other Anki template, you can restructure the card styling and layout in any way you wish using CSS and HTML. For positioning elements next to each other I would look into CSS flexboxes (though I'm not sure to what degree they are supported in Anki 2.0's somewhat oudated web renderer). These things can get pretty complicated very fast, so if you find yourself having any specific questions about the formatting, feel free to ask on reddit.com/r/anki. Some of the users there have produced pretty advanced card templates over the years and might be able to help. If you do manage to create a new template like this, please do let me know! I'd be more than happy to add it to the Cloze Overlapper wiki and credit you.

[@raymeester7883]

Is it more beneficial to use cloze overlapper without any prompts or context cues?

[@camilabomfim2234]

Amazing!! 👏👏👏

[@moshiman1234]

I'm trying to use anki to learn a list. However, when reviewing i always want to learn them in order by showing the first item in the list, the second , etc. Woud this tool be useful or is there anything else more suitable?

[@renjiaow3742]

How come the order isn't organized in the recent version of Anki? Is this a problem with the add-on?

[@2sridhark]

Great job. I am new to Anki. I can't follow what you said about introducing complicated things like a sublist etc. Which keys should be pressed? It would be nice if you can also place a transcript of what you said or if there was a subtitle.

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Sridhar, glad you've enjoyed the video. The add-on uses the same cloze hotkeys as Anki itself, CTRL+SHIFT+C and CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+C. For complicated source material you can use these hotkeys to manually set the clozed areas. All of the hotkeys definitions are also listed on the following Wiki page: github.com/glutanimate/cloze-overlapper/wiki/Use Hope that helps!

[@HS-vy5te]

Hi , Is there a way to NOT play the sound under the cloze before showing the answer ???

[@HS-vy5te]

I want to keep the "auto sound play" option on, BUT hide the sound from anki's perspective not only from my eyes'

[@caltran117]

@glutanimate Is there a way to have several cloze in a note appear in order as oppose to randomizing cloze from numerous notes in a regular studying session instead of in preview mode?

[@dtconan18]

Thank you for this lovely add on. One problem though, when I hit add card, it also generates this "cloze ol 21" with full cloze deletions on this card. Anyway I can disable this "full card"?

[@Glutanimate]

Thanks for the suggestion! There will be an option for this in the next release.

[@Glutanimate]

The update is out. Make sure to check it out at ankiweb.net/shared/info/969733775!

[@vgoj]

There is a check box in the options where you can disable it

[@riazjiffry3998]

Hey, I can't change the global settings for some reason. I'm using Anki 2.1.26

[@msyedx]

How can you add more text items? The max text items is 20, anyway we can increase that?

[@Glutanimate]

I go more into this at about 5:07, but you'll basically just have to add more "Text" fields to the note type and card templates (e.g. Text21, Text22, Text23). The add-on will automatically detect the number of available text fields and adjust the cloze generation accordingly. Make sure to also add the fields to the back and front template, though. Otherwise Anki won't generate the additional cards.

[@biancedebeer772]

What is the updated code for the new version of ANKI?

[@bF93712]

Hi, Awesome addon! Thanks a lot! I have one question: On 21:25 you specify a workaround for mobiles, but I dont really understand it, can you give me a direction on this one?(I´m really new to anki... sorry) Thanks.

[@Glutanimate]

Sure. On Anki's desktop app, do the following: 1. Create a new deck and name it something like "Overlapping clozes" 2. Click on the cog on the right hand side of the deck in the deck list and select "Options" 3. Click on the cog in the top right corner and click "Add" 4. Name the options group "no-sibling-burying" 5. With this options group active in the drop-down menu at the top, go to the "New cards" tab and deselect "Bury related cards..." 6. Switch to the "Reviews" tab and once again deselect "Bury related cards" 7. Click on OK to save the settings From now on, whenever you add overlapping cloze deletions, add them to the newly created deck. Related cards will not be buried in this deck and this should work on all Anki clients.

[@davemi123]

Anyway to quickly change all close cards into close overlapping cards?

[@Glutanimate]

Sadly no. You could assign a different note type to all of your cloze cards, but that would not automatically transform the cloze syntax used by Anki (curly brackets) into the cloze syntax used by the add-on (square brackets). There are also some other fields that would be missing. But my advice would be to keep using both note types, anyway, as they serve different purposes. If switching between them is slowing you down you could give the "Quick note and deck buttons" add-on a try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3iVh5ljrL9_q5o

HOW TO GO THROUGH THE LINES? I PRESS SPACE AND IT DOESN'T WORK

[@ecstazy21]

Hi. when I press space to reveal the answer it scrolls up or down because I have pretty big cards.And it's driving me nuts because everytime I have to counter-scroll.How do I turn off scrolling UP or Down when i press space?

[@Glutanimate]

Does this only happen on cloze overlapper cards, or do you also experience it on basic cards with a lot of text on them? (enough text for a scrollbar to appear to the right hand side of Anki's main window)

[@ecstazy21]

HI.I tried on basic card and on normal cloze type and its the same.basically my problem with cloze overlapper[and with other types of card ] is this: if I have a cloze overlapper in the middle of the page,when I press space to show the answer,it doesn’t show it untill I hit the bottom of the page.But when I hit the bottom of the page and press space to see the answer,it doesn’t scroll up automatically to the answer,and I have to scroll manually UP to see the answer. So what I want to know is this : can it show the answer without having it to hit the bottom of the page? And no,I can’t really divide the cards because I need to see them togheter[there are articles of law with a lot of paragraphs] edit: Second question,the text from cloze overlapper card is centered,and the text isn't spread out on the whole page,but rather stays in the middle,and a line doesnt hit the edge of the screen.Can it spread so it doesnt stayed grouped in the middle? I ask this because if the text spreads then the scroll is smaller.

The Hotkey command+shift+d doesn't work, how can I change the hotkey to ma​ke it work?

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Mustafa, the hotkeys are not configurable for now, sadly, but in the next release I will be switching to a new multi-cloze hotkey. It looks like Ctrl+Shift+D interferes with global hotkeys on some systems (especially macOS). You could, of course, try changing the hotkey assignments manually within the source code (this is the position where you would find them in the file 'main.py' in your add-on folder: github.com/glutanimate/cloze-overlapper/blob/45beeb2e277f59a09353212c4c16b7c01370381c/cloze_overlapper/main.py#L36-L42), but I would recommend you only do that if you feel comfortable with editing code.

[@bootsy1209]

Sorry, but 7:45- which buttons to press for coding the list fast? I took ctrl shift and D- and my list was gone and there was only the D.

[@Glutanimate]

+bootsy1209 Ctrl+Shift+D is correct, but one of the keys might not have registered correctly, replacing the selected text with a "d". I would just give it another try. If the issue persists we will have to investigate this further. In that case it would be best if you posted a bug report on GitHub or the official forum thread.

[@bootsy1209]

Thanks for your answer. I tried it several times, did not work. Do I have to do more except to install cloze overlapper? I`m afraid I am not able to report a bug or post in an englisch forum :-D My english isn´t the best and I have difficulties to understand all the ANKI you tube videos, too *LOL* There aren´t as many german ANKI youtube videos.

[@Glutanimate]

I think your English is completely fine, but in that case let's just switch to Deutsch :) ! Nein, die Tastenkombination sollte mit der Installation direkt verfügbar sein. Allerdings funktioniert sie nur, sofern der "Cloze (overlapping)" Notiztyp oben links im "Karten hinzufügen"-Fenster ausgewählt ist. Sollte das der Fall sein, die Kombination aber trotzdem nicht funktionieren, helfen mir vielleicht ein paar weitere Details weiter: Auf welcher Platform nutzt Du Anki denn (macOS/Windows/Linux)? Funktioniert die Tastenkombination vielleicht nur nicht im Karten-Browser (ich meine da gab es u.U. einen Konflikt mit einer anderen Tastenbelegung)? Wie schaut es mit den anderen Hotkeys wie z.B. Ctrl+Shift+C aus? Funktionieren die zumindest korrekt?

[@bootsy1209]

WOW. Dein Deutsch ist wohl besser als mein Englisch :-D Wie kommt es, dass du so gut Deutsch kannst? Anki? *lach* Ich nutze MacOs, und ich hab die Karten in der App erstellt. Andere Kürzel hab ich noch nicht genutzt, weil ich noch unsicher bin, ob ich mit Anki wirklich gut für mein Staatsexamen lernen kann. Für jura gibt es zwar einige gute Anki-Vorlagen, aber mir fällt es sehr schwer, meinen Lernstoff so aufzubereiten, dass er auch wirklich mit Anki gut lernbar ist. Und dann sind auch noch alle guten Videos auf Englisch :-D Vielen vielen Dank schon mal, dass du hier so fleissig antwortest!

[@ezurachan]

After downloading my data to Ankidroid, Ankidroid can't seem to show all of the cards nested in this add-on. Just the top of my list. Am I doing something wrong?

[@Glutanimate]

Hi ezurachan, no, that's the default behavior of Ankidroid. Because these cards are generated from the same note they are marked as siblings, and siblings are usually buried. On the desktop the add-on bypasses that behavior, but it can't influence the schedulers of the mobile apps. So the workaround in this case is to change your deck options to disable the "bury related cards" setting - either only for new cards, or for new cards and reviews. Hope that helps

[@rosalianahim2093]

Hi, I tried cloze overlapper and it worked really great and then one day it changed the way I watch my cards, at the beginning I used it watching all previous cloze and it was fantastic, and suddenly I only can see one previous cloze, do you know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Rosalia, If I understood you correctly. the cards have probably stopped appearing in the order they used to at the start, right? If so, then I'm afraid this is just part of how Anki works. As soon as your cards become review cards ("green cards") they are scheduled according to Anki's algorithm which means that they will start to be spread out over time. It also means that cards that are scheduled for the same day will be presented to you randomly instead of the order they were created in. Now, the good thing about the add-on is that it always provides you with the context of the previous item (at least on the default settings). So even if the cards appear spread out over multiple days you still learn to recall the items on your card sequentially. Still, it can be helpful to go through the entire sequence at once, e.g. in preparation for an exam. The easiest way to do so is via the card preview option in the card browser. Just find your cards, sort the browser columns by date created, and then use the previewer to go through them in sequence. Another option would be to use a filtered deck and sort it by the creation date of your notes, but that's more advanced and can have unforeseen effects under some circumstances.

[@heidiklepsch2074]

Is there a way to have all elements of the list that were just answered/revealed stay on the screen so that the list is "built up" as you go through it? Basically, the number of context elements before the question would increase by one every time a new question is answered.

[@eduardobilbaolavieja8198]

Heidi Klepsch I need the answer to this as well.

[@seanhalloran7772]

Hi Glutanimate, I am also having trouble. I really want to be able to start with a list of blanks, which are revealed one at a time. I do not want the preceding blanks to then disappear as I continue. Please assist!

[@Glutanimate]

@Heidi, Eduardo, and Sean: If you go into the note settings (the [O] button) and turn the 'Context Before' selector all the way down until it says 'all', the add-on will gradually provide you with more context cues as you move down the list. Is that what you guys had in mind? As with all cards these will of course still be subject to Anki's review randomization, so once they enter the review queue they will be spread out randomly both within a review session and across multiple days. Anki unfortunately does not provide an easy way to control the order of appearance of cards that are not new. Any implementation of a custom order would require extensive changes to Anki's card scheduler and that is something I'm not too keen on exploring at this point. In any case, hope that helps!

Thank you. I will try this.

These delusions are maintained often in spite of strong evidence to the contrary.}} Common delusions include {{oc2::delusions of grandeur, delusions of reference, and delusions of persecution}}. Delusions of reference involve {{oc3::the belief that common elements in the enviornment are directed toward the individual - e.g. the TV is talking to me.}} Delusions of persecution involve {{oc4::the belief that the person is being deliberately interfered with, discriminated against, plotted against, or threatened.}} Delusions of grandeur {{oc5::involve the belief that the person is remarkable in some significant way, such as being an inventor, historical figure, or religious icon::also prevalent in bipolar I disorder}}. Other common delusions include {{oc6::thought broadcasting - the belief that one's thoughts are broadcast directly from one's head to the external world}}, {{oc7::thought withdrawal - the belief that thoughts are being removed from one's head}}, and {{oc8::thought insertion - the belief that one's thoughts are being placed in one's head}}.

(Generic) (Brand) (Class) (Dosage forms) (Strengths) etc. Do you know the best way to go about accomplishing this?

Is it possible to keep the cards belonging to each note together when it is being tested/reviewed? Such that along with the gradual build-up /revealing all the clues before, the entirety of one note (all of the different steps/cards in the one section) are tested in sequence before moving on to the next? Right now, I've only managed to set it up with the cards being shuffled so that (for example) I'll see occlusion 4 from note 1 and the next question will be occlusion 3 from note 2, rather than all occlusions from 1 followed by all occlusions from 2. I'm sorry if I didn't explain this clearly, but is there any way to do this? Btw really love the addons and thank you so much for creating them!

[@misssomod194]

is there an Add-on for reducing the size of anki Deck?

[@vojtechmacala138]

When I press ctrl+shift+C I'm not getting [[oc:1::]] but {{c1::}}. How do I get the right (overlapping) one?

[@Andrew-kg9yo]

Does this make all the cards appear in sequence?

[@23Polala]

when i open my notes with this add on on my ipad (ANKIMOBILE), it doesn't continuosly show the notes just like in the video. why is that please help..

[@hughyu9085]

How to install? I cannot figure it out

[@abdulmajithg]

i want to type the answer in cloze. is it possible ?

[@base_2582]

will this be ported to 2.1? If yes, do you have an estimate for when this is the case - love this functionality and miss it ever since, 2.1 :(

[@afsheen030]

Pls can you update it to anki 2.1. Please!!!

[@jhan168]

I just used it. And it' amazing! thank you!

[@Glutanimate]

Glad you like the add-on!

[@mujtabaalam5907]

Let's say I want the trigger to be one of three items, and the cloze to be the other two items, with three cards in total (one for each combination). How would I create this?

[@IramSheikh]

Anki spaces out each of my answers and presents it at different times although both the override buttons are selected, how do I solve the issue?

[@Guilhermovisc]

Muito bom. Adicional essencial. Parabéns!

[@Glutanimate]

Muito obrigado!

[@mohammadalsuqi3271]

Thank you for this tutorial, i have a question how do you make a sublist where do do you press or what hotkey do use

[@leonid5489]

könntest du auch noch mal ein Tutorial auf Deutsch erstellen bitte? :(

[@baronbustin]

Thank you for doing this. I wish you would run your examples to see how the work.

[@Wiley224]

the code doesn't work for me

[@danielzheng2520]

ctrl shift c does the regular cloze hotkey for me, as in {{c1::}} and I can't get it to work :(

[@danielzheng2520]

found the problem: there was a conflict with another hotkey customizer

[@djaberski7625]

Do you have this addon in anki 2.1?

[@nobby201212]

Hi, thank you for this great addon, but I have a problem. When I use this with my other cards, the list appears in the right order (not mixed), but other review cards of my deck interrupt like this OC1 of the list → Other review cards of my deck → OC2 → Other cards ×n → OC3 ･･･ ･I'm not using the mobile app. ･In option, I checked both Over ride sibling spacing to new and reviewing overlapping clozes. Is there any way to avoid this?

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Nobby, two reasons for this I can think of: 1. The cards you're seeing might be cards in learning. These are always presented with the highest priority and interrupt all other card queues. That's completely normal. 2. You have Anki set up to intersperse new cards with review cards. This is governed by an option switch in Anki's main preferences menu (Tools → Preferences) If neither of these apply we might be facing a bug and I'd ask you to open an issue report on GitHub, so we can investigate this further: github.com/glutanimate/cloze-overlapper/issues (Although I'm currently very short on time, so I probably won't be able to get to your report straight away)

[@jeanfrancis6904]

hi and ty for great addon ! is there a way to have a cloze deletion for title that won't be integrated into the cloze overlapper ? So I have to guess the mechanism seeing only the steps. For example : ---------- Title a b c d ----------- Card 1 : ? a b c d Card 2 : Title ? ... ... ... Card 3 : Title a ? ... ... Card 4 : Title ... b ? ... Card 5 : Title ... ... c ? Thanks

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Jean! Another user recently posted a solution for this in the official Cloze Overlapper support thread. Perhaps it might help: anki.tenderapp.com/discussions/add-ons/9407-cloze-overlapper-official-thread#comment_44842511

[@clee888]

I actually bought 4 computers trying to get this to work thinking its my fault or the computer being too old but now I'm using a new desktop and laptop and still no luck. every time i try to use this it gives a response: cloze fields are not continuous (breaking off after 16 fields). To test this, I enter one, hit return, two, hit return, three, hit return in the "original field." Please help.

[@Glutanimate]

That error only appears when you've modified the note type and changed its fields. As these changes will sync over to your new Anki installation if you use AnkiWeb or restore from a backup, changing your machine will unfortunately not fix things. Instead, please try resetting the note type to its original state while making sure that it contains all of the fields mentioned in the Wiki: github.com/glutanimate/cloze-overlapper/wiki/Troubleshooting#resetting-note-type-and-template-to-the-defaults

[@pjosiahjoseph6730]

does this work on the IOS app?

[@ujwalbasnet9444]

Hey, I have been using the Cloze Deletion Single Card addon which is a primary requirement for my anki decks. So, when using this addon i have been having problems when i want to create partial overlapping cards. Any solutions?

[@Glutanimate]

+Bifrost Bigfoot Sorry, but what exactly do you mean by partially overlapping?

[@djaberski7625]

Please we wan it for 2.1 version

[@rishyrishmeow]

Can u make a new video about this

[@MB-qz7xb]

ANYONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO ADD BULLET OPTION TO THE ANKI --I DONT HAVE THIS OPTION ON MINE

[@rac9420]

Hi, I still see that you are replying to comments. I was wondering if you could help me out. On the iPhone app for some reason the cloze deletions do not show up in order of how i've added them. Upon first review it only shows one of the items on the list and not the subsequent ones. I have to unbury the cards every time to make sure I get to review all the items on a list! I would like to review all the items on a list one after the other, like how I can on the desktop. Thanks!

[@Glutanimate]

Hey Alom, this is Anki's default behaviour on the desktop, too. It's only that on the desktop it can circumvent it, while on the mobile apps it can't (as they don't support add-ons). I've listed some workarounds in the troubleshooting wiki which might help: github.com/glutanimate/cloze-overlapper/wiki/FAQ#why-do-i-see-my-cards-in-a-different-order-on-ankimobile--ankidroid--ankiweb

[@artificialclock]

Very nice add-on! This reminds me I have several decks from Memrise, they have several pictures or audios on front side, and a name (usually painter or musician) on back side. Is there an add-on can make these cards one picture to one name structure?

[@Glutanimate]

Hi Jerry, I don't know of any add-on that would be capable of that specifically, but you could try experimenting a bit with Anki's inbuilt card template features: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIaugaekrZ1_eZI. Perhaps you'll manage to achieve a similar card structure with that.
