Remove Clozes — Cursor‑aware cloze remover

Remove Clozes — Cursor‑aware and Selection-based cloze remover

install via anki web

A small Anki editor enhancement that removes cloze formatting around the caret or within a selection, correctly handling nested clozes and optional hints while preserving inline formatting and native undo support. Pairs well with Edit Field During Review (Cloze) for in-review field editing workflows.

Features Removes all clozes found within a selected block of text. Removes only the innermost cloze that contains the caret if no text is selected. Correctly skips over nested clozes to find the matching closing braces for the current cloze. Treats the caret inside the opener {{cN:: as inside that cloze, not the parent. Drops optional hint/comments (e.g., ::hint) at the current cloze level. Preserves inline formatting inside the cloze’s main text. Performs a single atomic edit using insertHTML so Ctrl+Z works as expected. Usage Selection: Select a block of text and use the hotkey to remove all clozes within that selection. Caret: Place the caret anywhere inside the cloze to remove only that cloze; for nested clozes, the innermost one is removed first. Default hotkey: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R. Works when the caret is placed on the opener token {{cN::, targeting that cloze instead of the parent. Configuration The default hotkey can be customized in config.json. See config.md for the configuration key documentation. Notes on behavior Optional hints are recognized only at depth 1 of the currently targeted cloze, so {{c1::text::hint}} becomes text. Nested clozes are preserved when removing an outer cloze that encloses them if only the caret is used, but are removed if they are part of a larger selection. The editor is notified of changes and native undo is supported via a single insertHTML operation. Appropriate Legal Notices (Attribution)

Changelog 2026-02-24 Fixed paragraph/newline loss when removing a cloze at the start of a line. Improved undo stability. Ignored key-repeat so one hotkey press triggers one removal. Added compatibility for cloze-removal hotkey while editing fields during review with Edit Field During Review (Cloze), with safe fallback when that add-on is not installed. Reworked selection-based removal to use DOM-preserving cloze unwrapping instead of HTML-string regex replacement. Restricted review-screen script injection to active Edit Field During Review (Cloze) environments. Tightened editable-element detection to avoid operating on non-editor root containers. 2026-02-18 Added support for removing all clozes within a text selection. 2025-11-02 Implemented cursor‑aware, nested‑safe cloze removal with native undo; opener‑caret targets the correct cloze.

I was having issues when trying to remove cloze from the entire block of text, as it was removing all new line characters. I asked gemini and it suggested to replace ”<” with ”<=” in this logic

      if (remaining <= len) {
        return { node, offset: remaining };
      }

Now it works without removing any new lines 👍

I just can’t believe this. This works with “Edit Field During Review Cloze” now. The combination of these 2 speeds up workflow so much that I can’t even thank the author enough. Comment from author before post was edited Working fine on Version ⁨25.09.2 (3890e12c)⁩ ,Python 3.13.7 Qt 6.9.2 Chromium 130 - Linux

you don’t have to select the entire cloze to remove it, Just put the curser inside cloze you want to remove and click the (RC) button
