Add toggle display secondary subtitle in selected text

[ghost]

This is one of the customizations I made to mpvacious more than a year ago, it was quite useful for my mining workflow.

The main issue it addresses is that JP subs and EN are not always the same length even if their timings are synced. So what I've found happens frequently is you can collect all relevant JP subs and create an Anki card but the EN subs might be incomplete because the last line has not shown up (and therefore collected) yet. Adding a toggle to display the EN subs solves this issue as you can see exactly which JP and EN lines were collected. The toggle is set to false by default as obviously some people might not care to see the secondary subs ever.

I'm not sure about the exact hotkey to use or the best way to display this toggle.

Demo that shows toggling on and off. It also displays the issue where you can mine the JP sub prematurely before the EN sub is also collected. The 200,000 yen line in English appears a bit later:

I'm not sure how to feel about this because at AJATT we want to discourage people from reading Eng subs as much as possible. Ideally they shouldn't be available at all, and the learners shouldn't have English text on their cards.

But you can do it like this to avoid adding a new config toggle.

• if secondary_field is empty (in the config file) then the user doesn't want English on the card, so don't show the English to them.
• otherwise show the English text (and add it to the card).
