Subject: Can’t Toggle Tags Visibility During Reviews with Keyboard Shortcut “c”
Hello AnkiHub Community,
I’m having trouble with toggling tag visibility during card reviews. According to information I found on the forum, pressing the “c” key should toggle tag visibility when using the AnKing Note Types add-on, but this isn’t working for me.
My Setup:
Using Anki version: 25.09.2
AnKing Note Types add-on installed
Anking Step Deck
The Problem:
When I press “c” during review, the card gets buried instead of showing/hiding tags
I have confirmed that the “tags container” option is enabled in the AnKing Note Types settings
I need to be able to temporarily see tags during review and then hide them again
What I’ve Tried:
Enabled the tags container option in AnKing Note Types settings
Tried using different keyboard shortcuts
I have installed the add-on: Customize Keyboard Shortcuts - Added settings Control Panel and File Path (1762336370) , it has not worked to change the bury card shortcut
Could someone please explain how to correctly toggle tag visibility during reviews? Is there a different shortcut I should be using, or is there a setting I’m missing?

Resolving Keyboard Shortcut Conflict Between “c” for Burying Cards and Tags Visibility
Hi Ahs002,
You’re experiencing a keyboard shortcut conflict in Anki. In standard Anki, the “c” key is indeed assigned to burying cards during review, which explains why your cards are getting buried rather than toggling tag visibility.
Solution Options:
Option 1: Use a Different Shortcut for Tag Visibility
The AnKing Note Types add-on should allow you to toggle tag visibility, but you may need to use a different keyboard shortcut than “c”. Try checking the add-on’s configuration to see what the current shortcut is set to.
Option 2: Modify Your Keyboard Shortcuts
Since you already have the “Customize Keyboard Shortcuts” add-on installed (1762336370), you can use it to change the default shortcut for burying cards:
Go to Tools → Add-ons → Customize Keyboard Shortcuts → Config
Look for the shortcut associated with burying cards (likely labeled as “bury card” or similar)
Change it to something other than “c”
Restart Anki for the changes to take effect
Option 3: Check AnKing Note Types Settings
Make sure your AnKing Note Types add-on is properly configured:
Click on the AnKing menu at the top
Go to AnKing Note Types
Check that the “tags container” option is enabled
Look for any settings related to keyboard shortcuts for toggling tag visibility
Additional Troubleshooting:
Make sure your AnKing Note Types add-on is up-to-date
The documentation might be referring to a different shortcut or a newer version of the add-on
Try accessing the Debug Console (Ctrl+Shift+; or Cmd+Shift+; on Mac) and checking for any error messages when pressing “c”
If none of these solutions work, I recommend checking the official AnKing documentation or reaching out directly to the add-on developer through their support channels.
I’ll help you troubleshoot this issue with the AnKing note types settings. Let me search for some more specific information about the tag visibility toggle feature in AnKing note types.

Resolving Tag Visibility Toggle with AnKing Note Types
Hi Ahs002,
I understand you’re having trouble specifically with the AnKing Note Types settings for toggling tag visibility. The issue is that the “c” keyboard shortcut is causing a conflict - in standard Anki it’s already assigned to bury cards, which is why your cards are being buried instead of toggling tags.
The Solution:
Based on my research, here’s how to properly set up tag visibility toggling in the AnKing Note Types settings:
In Anki, click on the AnKing menu at the top of your screen
Navigate to AnKing Note Types
Locate the section for your note type (either AnKing Overhaul or general)
Find the “tags” field settings
Important step: Make sure the “tags container” field is checked (since you want to be able to toggle visibility)
Check if there’s a custom keyboard shortcut setting for toggling tags - if there is, you should change it to something other than “c” to avoid the conflict with Anki’s built-in bury function
Since the “c” shortcut is already assigned in Anki to bury cards, you’ll need to either:
Use a different keyboard shortcut for toggling tags (if AnKing Note Types allows changing this), or
Change Anki’s default “bury card” shortcut using your Customize Keyboard Shortcuts add-on
Alternative Method:
If you can’t find a way to change the tag toggle shortcut in AnKing Note Types, you can use the Customize Keyboard Shortcuts add-on to reassign the “bury card” shortcut to something else, which would free up the “c” key for tag toggling.
Is there a specific reason you need to use the “c” key for tag toggling? If not, I’d recommend checking if the AnKing Note Types add-on has a different default shortcut for toggling tags that you might be able to use instead.
Hope this helps with your specific issue with the AnKing Note Types settings!
I’ll search for more specific information about the tag visibility toggle issue with AnKing Note Types.

Keyboard Shortcut Conflict with Tag Visibility Toggle
Hi Ahs002,
I understand your frustration with the tag visibility toggle not working properly. After reviewing your issue, it appears you’re encountering a keyboard shortcut conflict that’s quite common in Anki.
The Root Issue
The “c” key in Anki is assigned by default to the “bury card” function during reviews. This built-in shortcut is taking precedence over the tag visibility toggle feature in AnKing Note Types.
Potential Solutions
Solution 1: Change the Bury Card Shortcut
Since you’ve already installed the Customize Keyboard Shortcuts add-on (1762336370), try this specific approach:
Go to Tools → Add-ons
Select the Customize Keyboard Shortcuts add-on
Click Config
Find the entry for “reviewer bury card” or similar
Change its value from “c” to something else (e.g., “b” or “ctrl+b”)
Save the configuration and restart Anki
Solution 2: Use the Debug Console to Identify Conflicts
If the above doesn’t work, you can use Anki’s debug console to check for shortcut conflicts:
Press Ctrl+Shift+; (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+; (Mac)
In the console, type: mw.reviewer.shortcutKeys and press Enter
This will show all active shortcuts in the reviewer
Solution 3: Check AnKing Note Types Version
Make sure you’re using the latest version of AnKing Note Types add-on. Older versions might have compatibility issues with newer Anki releases.
Solution 4: Alternative Shortcut or Method
If all else fails, consider:
Checking if there’s an alternative shortcut for tag toggling in the AnKing Note Types settings
Using the mouse to toggle tags visibility instead of keyboard shortcuts
Important Note
The tag container feature should be enabled if you want to see tags during review. From the guidance you provided, it appears you’ve already done this correctly.
Would you be willing to try Solution 1 specifically? It’s the most likely to resolve this particular conflict. Let me know if you need more detailed instructions for any of these steps.
Could you check if the “c” shortcut is already assigned to bury cards by default in your Anki setup? Please check for any other shortcut conflicts.
Also, please try resetting and updating the note type in the AnKing Note Type addon window: first click the option to reset the notetype, and then click to check for updates. Be sure to save your changes
