Configuration¶
All settings are edited via Tools → Add-ons → Malleus Clinical Medicine → Config.
The most common ones to change are deck_name, shortcut and cache_expiry.
deck_name¶
Default: "Default"
The name of the deck where new cards are created. Use :: to specify a subdeck.
"deck_name": "Pre-Made Decks::Malleus Medicine"
Tip
If you have renamed or moved the Malleus deck, set this so the create card button opens to the right deck.
shortcut¶
Default: "Ctrl+Alt+M"
Keyboard shortcut to open the Malleus Page Selector from anywhere in Anki. Use standard Anki key notation, e.g. "Ctrl+Shift+M", "Alt+M".
"shortcut": "Ctrl+Alt+M"
cache_expiry¶
Default: 1 (days)
How many days before the local database cache is considered stale and the add-on re-checks GitHub on startup. The check is conditional (it only downloads a database if it actually changed since last time), so a short value keeps you in sync with the daily rebuild at little network cost. Higher values reduce how often the add-on checks.
"cache_expiry": 1
autosearch¶
Default: true
When true, the Page Selector searches automatically as you type (after search_delay ms). Set to false to require pressing Enter to trigger a search.
"autosearch": true
search_delay¶
Default: 300 (milliseconds)
How long to wait after you stop typing before the auto-search fires. Only applies when autosearch is true. Increase this if searches feel laggy; decrease it if you want faster results.
"search_delay": 300
request_timeout¶
Default: 30 (seconds)
Timeout for network requests when downloading database caches from GitHub. Increase this if you are on a slow connection and cache updates are timing out.
"request_timeout": 30
show_card_counts¶
Default: false
When true, each search result shows how many notes in your collection are already tagged with that page. Computing the counts scans every note's tags, which can slow down search results appearing on large collections — hence off by default.
"show_card_counts": false
card_count_threshold¶
Default: 10
Only applies when show_card_counts is true. Maximum number of search results for which per-result note counts are shown. When results exceed this number the counts are hidden to keep the UI fast. Set to a high number (e.g. 50) to always show them.
"card_count_threshold": 10
remember_yield_selection¶
Default: false
When true, the Page Selector re-selects the yield level you last chose whenever it opens (remembered for the rest of the Anki session). Useful when making many cards at the same yield in a row.
"remember_yield_selection": false
remember_subtag_selection¶
Default: false
When true, new search results have their subtag chip pre-set to the subtag you last picked (remembered for the rest of the Anki session). Useful when tagging many cards under the same subtag (e.g. a Management run).
"remember_subtag_selection": false
