FAQ

What are the most useful Anki shortcuts?

The key Anki shortcuts are spacebar or Enter to show the answer, then 1-4 to rate your recall (Again, Hard, Good, Easy). Use D to go to the deck list, A to add a new card, and B to browse your collection.

How do I rate cards faster in Anki?

After revealing the answer with Space, press 1 for Again, 2 for Hard, 3 for Good, or 4 for Easy. This lets you review without reaching for the mouse, significantly speeding up your study sessions.

How do I edit cards while reviewing in Anki?

Press E during a review to open the card editor. This lets you fix typos or update content without leaving your study session. Press Cmd+Enter to save and return to the review.

Anki keyboard shortcuts not working - how to fix?

If Anki shortcuts aren't responding, make sure the review window is focused and no dialog boxes are open. Some add-ons can conflict with default shortcuts — try disabling add-ons via the Tools menu to isolate the issue. On Mac, also check that macOS isn't intercepting the shortcut in System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.
