Requirements

• Anki 2.0.x or 2.1.x
  • Please note that – due to key assignment changes – some of the features in this remote might not work with Anki 2.1. Unfortunately there is no good way to detect which version of Anki is running. As soon as 2.1 overtakes 2.0 in general use I will be updating the remote to reflect the new hotkey assignments.
• Zoom and Toggle Full Screen add-ons for Anki (optional)
