Change Cloze Card multiple deletion default

Solved

Hi Reddit!

When I make a cloze card with multiple deletions, it automatically defaults to having each deletion generate a separate card -- so c1, c2, c3, etc.

Is there a way to change the default setting so that each deletion I make is on the same card? (i.e. appears as c1, c1, c1...) I'm wasting a lot of time going through and manually switching from default.

Thanks! (And sorry if this is a stupid question -- I looked in the manual briefly but couldn't find anything.)

use the short cut control shift c or install cloze deletion plugins that give you option of other short cuts. also this plugin someone made for me would do it too!

thank you!

It seems like ctrl shift c still counts up -- i miss something?

for the old version 2.0 there's an add-on named Cloze Deletion Single Card. Haven't used it but the descriptioin sounds like you want: "In other words, whenever you add a cloze deletion in a card, you always will get a tag using "c1"."

I prefer the Ctrl+Alt+Shift method very much

Thank you! This add on looks great!

Ctrl+Alt+Shift doesn't seem to do anything though (?)

Ctrl+Alt+Shift

I should have added "+c", so Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C adds a cloze with the same number as the highest cloze you have. If you already have c2 the next will remain at c2 and so on.

On mac ctrl is usually replaced by cmd

I just edit the deletion numbers manually

{{c1::term 1}} {{c2::definition 1}}
{{c1::term 2}} {{c2::related to term 1}}
{{c3::term 3}}  {{c4::definition 3}}
{{c3::term 4}} {{c4:: related to term 3}}

Ha, that's the exact inefficiency I was trying to find a workaround for...

Another user suggested an add on that worked great.

Thanks though?

I'm using 2.1

And, for me grouping related deletions manually is working fine. Most of my cloze Notes have 10 or so deletions but with half or less cards.
