prty-shortcut allows for quickly creating nice looking Anki cards for memorizing keyboard shortcuts for different software. Shortcuts are formatted automatically, so by entering Ctrl K and I, prty-shortcut will insert the format below!

By installing the demo deck containing a few useful Firefox shortcuts, Anki will automatically import the prty-shortcut note type. Simply download this file and press Ctrl+Shift+I in Anki, import the file and voilà! The new card type will become available!

The note type can be also be manually created!

1. Create a new note type (Ctrl+Shift+N -> Add)
2. Select the new note type and click Fields
3. Make sure the note has the exact following fields: Software, Action, Key Combination and Extra Key Combination. If you want to rename these, you have to change the front and back of the card.
4. Save when done and now press Cards
5. Copy src/front.html into Front Template, src/back.html into Back Template and src/style.css into Styles and save
6. Done! You should now be able to create new notes of the prty-shortcut type!

I would recommend playing around with the notes to figure it out, but in essence prty-shortcut will automatically assume the formatting of your card. So, by entering "Ctrl Shift P" in Key Combination, the card will be generated as "Ctrl+Shift+P". The plusses inserted by prty-shortcut means that these buttons are to be pressed simultaneously.

Some advanced shortcuts require two separate combinations. This is provided by Extra Key Combination, and will be formatted as Shotcut Combination. This field is not required, and will be ignored if empty.

It is possible to change the CSS (styling, i.e. this file) of the notes so that the dark cards can be used without night mode. To do this, simply edit the card in Anki:

Ctrl+Shift+N, select prty-shortcut and click Cards), go to the Styling section and swap place of the following lines:

.card {

and

.card.nightMode {

Now you will have inversed it all! If you never want the light cards, simple remove everything related to .card , and remove .nightMode from the line containing .card.nightMode.

If you like this deck and would like to support the creation of more like it, don't buy me a coffee. Donate your money to those who need it most. Personally I recommend The GiveWell Maximum Impact Fund, where your money will make the biggest impact on someones life.

If you instead want to help the development of Anki, consider supporting the developers of Anki and AnkiDroid.

If you decide to support any of these causes, please contact me! It would make my day :)
