Key to expand additional fields

[mkay]

Is there any way to toggle these additional fields one by one or all at once by a keyboard shortcut?

Short answer: as far as I’m aware, Anki/AnkiHub currently don’t provide a built‑in keyboard shortcut to toggle those extra (hint) fields, either individually or all at once.

A few details/ideas:

• The behavior in your screenshot comes from the card template / field setup (e.g., using hint: or custom JS/CSS to show/hide extra info on click/hover).
• Anki itself doesn’t expose a generic “toggle this extra field” action that can be bound to a hotkey, so there’s no official shortcut you can assign in the preferences or via AnkiHub.
• I’m not aware of any AnkiHub setting that adds such a shortcut on the review screen, and a quick check in our docs/community didn’t reveal one.

What you can do (if you’re comfortable editing templates):

• Use a single keypress in the browser window (mouse/trackpad) to reveal info, e.g., by making the whole card area clickable or by using CSS/JS so that clicking anywhere or hovering reveals all hints at once. That still won’t be a keyboard shortcut, but it can reduce friction.
• If you’re using a shared AnkiHub deck (like AnKing) and want this behavior globally, you could:
  1. Duplicate the note type and adjust the templates for yourself, or
  2. Propose a template change in the appropriate AnkiHub deck feedback thread so maintainers can consider adding an easier reveal mechanic.

Since this is something a lot of heavy keyboard users might like, I’d suggest:

• Edit this topic to include:
  • Your OS + Anki version
  • Which deck / note type you’re using
• Then we can tag it as a feature request for AnkiHub (or the specific deck) so the team sees there’s demand for a keyboard‑based reveal of additional fields.

If you share which deck/note type this is (e.g., “AnKing Overhaul,” specific note type name), I can give more concrete suggestions for tweaking its templates to make revealing those fields less click‑heavy.

Hello,

This card and note type are not from a deck maintained by the AnkiHub team, so I cannot say for certain if they included any shortcuts in the note type.

If you ever need shortcut information for AnKing decks, you can download the AnKing Note Types add-on: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/952691989. There is a dedicated shortcut section there.

Let us know if you need help with anything else.
