New Anking note type addon 12/15/2025 interfering with Reveal Field (hint hotkey addon)

🙋 Support

Hello,

I recently updated the anking note types as I usually do. But I recently notice that every time I press “H” to reveal a field. The field opens but then this webpage automatically opens out of nowhere and I have to manually go back to Anki and it ruins the flow.

This looks like an interaction between the new AnKing Note Types add-on update and your Reveal Field / Hint Hotkey add-on (both using H).

The 127.0.0.1:****/?utm_source=ankihub page suggests something in the new note-type add‑on (or AnkiHub integration it includes) is trying to open a local URL whenever that hotkey is triggered.

A few quick things to try:

  1. Confirm it’s the AnKing Note Types add-on

    • Start Anki while holding Shift (this disables all add-ons).
    • Enable only:
      • AnkiHub add-on
      • Reveal Field / Hint Hotkey add-on
    • Test H.
    • Then also enable the AnKing Note Types add-on and test again.
    • If the browser only opens once the AnKing Note Types add-on is enabled, we’ve confirmed the conflict.

  2. Change the Reveal Field hotkey

    • In Anki, go to Tools → Add-ons → Reveal Field (or Hint Hotkey) → Config.
    • Change the key from H to something unlikely to conflict (for example ; or Ctrl+H if supported by the add-on).
    • Restart Anki and test again.

  3. Check the AnKing Note Types add-on config

    • Tools → Add-ons → AnKing Note Types → Config (or “Config / Options”).
    • Look for any setting related to:
      • “open help page”, “AnkiHub page”, “utm_source=ankihub”, or
      • keyboard shortcuts using H.
    • If you see something tied to H, try disabling it or changing its shortcut.

  4. If it still happens

    • Please click Tools → Add-ons → AnkiHub → Copy Debug Info and paste it as a reply here.
    • Also include:
      • Your Anki version (Help → About)
      • The exact name + code of the Reveal Field add-on you’re using.
    • With that, the AnkiHub/AnKing team can try to reproduce the issue and, if needed, patch the note-type add-on so it doesn’t hijack the H key.

In the meantime, changing the Reveal Field hotkey (step 2) is usually the fastest way to stop the browser window from opening and restore your study flow.

The problem is with the new update. I solved it with chatgpt help. Replace this part:

for(const anchor of document.querySelectorAll(“a”)) {
try {
const url = new URL(anchor.href);
if (!url.protocol.startsWith(“http”)) {
continue;
}
// … adds utm_source=ankihub

With this part and it worked for me:

for(const anchor of document.querySelectorAll(“a”)) {
try {
// Skip fragment-only links (like href=“#”)
if (anchor.getAttribute(“href”) === “#” ||
anchor.getAttribute(“href”)?.startsWith(“#”)) {
continue;
}

    const url = new URL(anchor.href);
    if (!url.protocol.startsWith("http")) {
        continue;
    }
    // ... rest of code

god bless chatgpt
