Pass/Fail addon for Anki

Pass/Fail 2

An addon for Anki that removes the wide spectrum of “Again”, “Easy”, “Good”, “Hard” buttons from your Anki reviews, instead choosing to offer you only two options: “Fail” and “Pass”, setting keybinds to Fail:1, Pass:2/3/4.

The goal of this addon is twofold:

1. The wide spectrum of buttons introduces decision paralysis when reviewing. This is undesirable as when reviewing you should be thinking more about what you’re reviewing than what button to press.
2. The “Hard” button in Anki has an effect the opposite of what you would desire – when you find something difficult, it increases the amount of time before you review it again, giving you more time to forget it. Pass/Fail 2 counters this design by simply removing the Hard button in the first place.

Intended to be used with settings from “Low-Key” Low-Key Anki, but can also be used without.

As of v0.3.0, also supports changing button colors and text.

Install

From AnkiWeb

Pass/Fail 2 can be installed from AnkiWeb here.

Manually

Pass/Fail 2 can be installed manually by going to the Releases page and downloading the latest release’s passfail2-<version>.ankiaddon file, then navigating to Tools > Addons in Anki and clicking “Install From File”. You should then select the passfail2 anki addon file in your Downloads folder and restart Anki.

Please keep in mind that if the addon updates, manual installs will need to be updated as well.

Development

The simplest way to develop on this addon is to git clone this a fork of this repository into your Anki addons folder.

On Linux this folder is $HOME/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/ for Anki 2.1.x, so you would click the fork button in the top-right corner of the page then do the following.

$ cd ~/.local/share/Anki2/addons21/
$ git clone https://github.com/<your github username>/passfail2

Then you can proceed with modifying the addon within this folder. Note that you’ll need to restart Anki every time you make changes.

passfail2's Issues

is it safe to use this addon with others addons?

hello, sorry for the stupid question but I would like to know if this addon modifies the settings of other anki addons.
I am using the addon "Straight Reward" and unfortunately it does not have the option to hide the buttons. so I would like to use your addon combined with Straight Reward but I am afraid it will have a conflict..

How can I translate "FAIL" "PASS" to my language?

Thanks

Implement keybinds in a way that can't potentially conflict with addons like Straight Rewards

Follow-up on #10.

While there isn't actually a conflict with Straight Rewards due to the load order of Anki addons being alphabetic (P -> S), there should be a better way to sort out keybinds than by hooking reviewer_will_answer_card, which is sometimes used by addons which wish to read the answer chosen.

Set up i18n

As #4 mentions, passfail2 currently has no support for languages other than English and no way of contributing said support. I'd like to see if it's possible to piggyback on Anki's own i18n somehow so support could be added.

Thanks for the Add-on
What key should I press for the "Pass" shortcut?
What happens if I squeeze space bar?

Pass Button Links to "Hard" 2.1.54

Hi there, just wanted to let you know that in the new update of Anki, the Pass button links to "Hard" now instead of "Good". Here are a few images to show what I mean.

Double return in the code

Hello,
I was wondering why the code is like this:
if cnt == 2 or cnt == 3: return l + ((2, _("Pass"), _("Shortcut keys: 2, 3, 4")),) else: return l + ((3, _("Pass"), _("Shortcut keys: 2, 3, 4")),)

Is there any need for this "if" and "else" since they return the same?

Publish on Ankiweb

Any plan to publish this on ankiweb?

For now I uploaded it here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1943155256

Correctly show the shortcut key for Pass/Fail buttons

Currently, the popup still shows the original keybind, which is technically correct but doesn't give the full picture.

doesnt play well with anki button colors good again addon

I use this addon to make good green and again red, but when I install passfail addon, it loses any styling

v3 Scheduler causes infinite session when using Custom Study

I usually do custom study > Forgotten cards for the last x day

With pass-fail I noticed that even if you click the default 1 or 2, well even up to 3 and 4 which is supposedly hidden, the custom study deck never gets finished, it is just stuck as 'learning' or the orange number thingy.

I tried switching between v2 or v3, doesn't seem to be problem, but when I went back to 2.1.49 the behavior also went back to normal.
