Grid Fields

Allows you to display the editor in multiple columns, or any arrangement you want.

It knows three modes:

Auto Columns: It will generate the appropriate amount of columns for you, depending on the width of the editor window. It is active, when the column number is set to 0. Grid Columns: You can also manually set the amount of columns per hand (in the editor toolbar). This is the behavior, when the column number is set to 1 - 9 Grid Areas: Advanced feature. You can define how the fields are displayed yourself. You can set this behavior under “Editor > Fields > Grid”. If you enable it, it will overwrite the Auto columns as the behavior when the column number is set to 0. See below for more details.

Auto Columns in a smaller window, and in a bigger window. Notice the “Cols” toggle in the toolbar for setting the column count by hand:

Grid areas:

This arrangement would have the definition: f1 f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f5 This definition is what you have to enter into the dialog under “Editor > Fields > Grid”.

Shortcuts

F12: Toggle between Auto columns and Grid areas in the editor. Shift+F12: Make a field temporarily full width (works well with Auto/Grid Columns, will obscure fields when using Grid areas). You can set those shortcuts under “Tools > Add-ons > Grid Fields > Config”.

Support If you like my add-ons, you can consider supporting me. My add-ons will always be freely available for everybody, but what I can offer you is my sincere thanks, and first-hand technical support, if you have any questions/issues with my add-ons. At the same time it allows me to put more time and focus into developing these and making them as powerful and user-friendly as they are. Thanks for considering!

I have been using this amazing addon on 2.1.49 for some time now and I have encountered no big issues. It is usable on this version. Should be a native function in Anki.

I seriously think this should be integrated in a future anki update!!!!!! Incredible!! It should be a native function!

Unfortunately the addon is no longer working properly in Anki 2.1.49.

1. The path “Editor > Fields > Grid” to access the grid area feature is no longer available.

2. The grids are lost once you click on the next note.

Would love to see an update as this addon is otherwise super helpful!

2021-10-25: I wonder if logically it would not be more correct to call the addon “Field Grid” (or “Field Grids”). Es ist doch ein Gitter für Felder – nicht Felder für ein Gitter.

Absolutely great. Thank you so much! I especially like the fact that the fields do not change in height – or as you say, that they are in a grid. (That is not the case with the multi-column editor.) Comment from author Haste eigentlich recht. I guess I wanted to fit the naming pattern of other add-ons: Frozen Fields
