Scene Switching

Switch between immersive "Scenes" where the Sentences, Audio, Images and Misc Info are synchronized.

  • Grouped Navigation: Supports splitting sentences into segments using <span class="group">...</span> tags in the Anki field.

  • To use this feature, update the sentence and sentenceFurigana fields in Yomitan’s "Configure Anki flashcards…" settings:

  • Set sentence to: <span class="group">{cloze-prefix}<span class="highlight">{cloze-body}</span>{cloze-suffix}</span>

  • Set sentenceFurigana to: <span class="group">{sentence-furigana}</span>

    Make sure Append is enabled so you can add new sentences instead of overwriting the first one. To do this, turn on “Allow Overwriting”:

  • sentenceEng and miscInfo are also supported. However, you'll need to manually edit the field to group it correctly with each scene using <span class="group">...</span>.

    • You can choose which scene it belongs to by numbering the group, e.g., <span class="group2">...</span>. This skips the first scene and groups it with the second.
    • If you have multiple scenes but only one sentenceEng, it will appear only in the first scene unless you assign it to a specific group as shown above.

      It’s not necessary to number the groups if the number of translations is the same as the number of sentences.

  • This is how it would look inside the field’s HTML: 

    <span class="group2">The future seems bleak...</span><span class="group3">Looks like I have a hard path ahead.</span>

  • Other Example format: 

    <span class="group">Something you wanna try?</span><span class="group">Why don't we test it out?</span><span class="group">Don't you want to try it out?</span>

    <span class="group">My Dress-Up Darling • Season 2, Episode 5 • 0:17:53</span><span class="group">16bit Sensation: Another Layer • Season 1, Episode 13 • 0:16:21</span><span class="group">The Irregular at Magic High School • Season 1, Episode 11 • 0:21:58</span>
    Scene Switching

  • Auto-Detection: Automatically detects if a card has multiple audio files. If found, it enables the Scene Navigation mode; otherwise, it defaults to standard behavior. Multiple sentences are not split if the card doesn’t contain at least 2 audio files.

  • Custom Audio Replay Shortcut: By default, Anki plays every audio file when you press R. This custom shortcut plays only the audio for the active scene. The default key is W, you can change this via the variable in the /* CUSTOM SHORTCUTS */ section of the CSS: 

    --scene-replay-shortcut-key: w; /* Set the key to replay active scene */

  • Scene Navigation Shortcuts

    Front: Use Left / Right Arrow keys.

    Back: Use Ctrl + Left / Right Arrow keys

    Ctrl is required here to prevent conflicts with Dictionary navigation.
