   Hi;
   thank you for the reply;
   What I meant was JS. I know a little bit of JS, but I don't know Python.
   Is there any way to do it in JS?

   I assume it would be easier to do it in Python. right?

   it's what I wrote: for javascript maybe try pycmd("ans"); (check the source of reviewer.py

   the main window contents, the reviewer and the editor (in the add window, bottom of the browser) are html sites with html buttons. So you can use (and sometimes need) javascript. This javascript communicates with python/the main anki program using the pycmd command.

   With python it should be easier but with javascript it should also work.

   if you use anki 2.1:

   You can now debug the webviews using an external Chrome instance, by setting the env var QTWEBENGINE_REMOTE_DEBUGGING to 8080 prior to starting Anki, then surfing to localhost:8080 in Chrome.

   Thanks, man;
   I'll give it a try and see if it works.
   my problem with Anki 2.1 is that I use so many add-ons that haven't been updated yet for this version. otherwise, I would use the new version gladly.
   Thank you for your time and quick reply

   in 2.0 it's not pycmd but something like py.link("ans"). I have stopped using 2.0 so I can't say.
