Sticky Searches Add-on for Anki

This is an add-on for the spaced-repetition flashcard app Anki

Adds a number of quick-toggles to the Browser search bar that allow you to preserve specific search parameters across multiple searches, so that you do not have to type them in repeatedly.

Features

By default the add-on comes with four toggles:

Static

Deck (Hotkey: Alt+D): Limit results to current deck
Card (Hotkey: Alt+C): Limit results to first card of each note

Dynamic

Sticky (Hotkey: Alt+S): Will remember the entirety of the current query
Tags (Hotkey: Alt+T): Limit results to current tag selection

Static toggles have predefined values, while dynamic ones are extracted from the current search.

Advanced users can customize these toggles and set up additional ones by modifying the configuration section in the source code.

Some of the features in this add-on were inspired by the following fantastic add-ons:

"Limit searches to current deck" by Damien Elmes
"Ignore accents in browser search" by Houssam Salem

I would also like to thank Dmitry Mikheev for his significant contributions to the code-base of the original add-on.

The icons used by this add-on were adapted from previous work by Tiago Barroso and Damien Elmes.

'Sticky Searches' was formerly known as 'Browser Search Modifiers', but has since been reworked from the ground up with the kind support of a fellow Anki user.
