ClozeShuffler is an addon for Anki that can shuffle your Cloze answers/lines in your flashcards. This is to stop you from simply memorizing the position or order of the answers.
This addon is in it's very early stages of development and release. It is entirely functional and usable in it's current state, however there are certain risks you take when using it. Nothing bad has happened yet in my testing, but you have been warned.
- Custom tag interfacing
- Manual Shuffling
- Shuffle all cards in the current deck with the "shuffle" tag
- Shuffle all cards with the "shuffle" tag
- Shuffle all cards in the current deck
- Shuffle all cards
- Autoshuffling
- When reviewing, the shuffler will automatically shuffle using a specified method. This method can be changed using the config.
Using the custom menu button, you can control ClozeShuffler's functionality.
If you only want ClozeShuffler to shuffle specific cards, you can tag your cards with the word "shuffle".
The autoshuffler's default shuffling method is every tagged card within the current deck. This means that by default, if there are no tagged cards in the current deck, nothing will be shuffled. Details on how to change the default shuffling method will be discussed in the next section.
In short, if you want to change the configuration, simply go to your addons panel in the Tools/Add-Ons menu option, select "ClozeShuffler," and then click the "Config" button.
Configuration details can be found extensively in the configuration documentation, which is also shown in the Add-On menu.
