Yeah, thing is I’ve been using Firefox for such a long time, I’m unlikely to switch to another browser unless FF becomes horrifically unusable or if another browser comes out with a killer feature. I’ll make do with the slow-poke Windows IME for now. It’s not as bad as it was earlier, for some unknown reason.
BTW, any tips for writing ‘just kanji’ using Windows IME? I’m finding I have to go through a fairly long list (at least a couple of PageDowns) from typing out the reading to finding the correct kanji that I’m actually looking for. Any ideas? Maybe there’s some shortcuts or something I don’t know about? Haven’t used IMEs a lot yet.
Oh, I also have this problem! I use Firefox too and a lot of the time when I switch my Windows IME to Japanese, the browser stops responding for a while - one time I think it took a full 15 minutes to switch. In my case things got a lot faster again when I restarted my computer. It’s definitely not a permanent fix, though.
Hi @searls
first of all thank you so much for your application, it is of great help for all of us.
I’ve started using it a couple of weeks ago and it’s been working great. There is only one thing that I’m having problems with and I would like to know whether there’s a workaround to this or it’s in the icebox.
When writing a word using the right Kanji, it marks it as correct even though the kana used to compose that Kanji were wrong.
Is there a way to overwrite that mark as “incorrect”?
Thanks again for your help and apologies if this has already been brought up, but I couldn’t find an answer anywhere else.
He’s commented on this- basically, you’re just going to have to police yourself on typing in the correct reading. KameSame will always show the reading it was looking for after you answer, too.
Thanks for pointing that out @olgesalex, I missed that one!
It’s understandable that coming up with a perfect algorithm can be tricky.
An (I believe) easy alternative would be to provide a “Mark as incorrect” functionality similar to the one existing in KaniWani and let the user decide whether he/she is happy with the result.
But it’s just a suggestion, @searls knows the code better than us.
Yes, the next two major things I’m looking to work on:
A unifying UI for these little “actions” piling up underneath the question UI. Things like skip/block/burn/add to reviews/unburn/remove from reviews. It’s been tricky because each screen can fit a different number of them and depending on which mode you’re in, different options will be enabled
A number of actions about undoing right and wrong answers. This will also depend on a database change I’m planning to make where the previous state of every review card will be remembered so that I can easily roll-back to previous state. At that point “mark as wrong” after the fact will be possible without also goofing up other stats about the card.
Is this just on my end, or is it happening for others too? For now I’ve tweaked the styling to bring it back so I can access the unlearn and “choose displayed definition” features (I actually had no idea those existed until I read through the update log here!), but if it’s not intentional it seemed worth mentioning.
Hi.
After the UI changes to Fail/Skip/Block/Unlearn buttons today (haven`t seen them yesterday) I am getting a very weird look on my study/review page. The buttons are extremely large covering a lot of space. They push the additional meanings of words out of my sight during the review. Examples here: Imgur: The magic of the Internet (Temperature is Review, To Sing is Study session.)
I am using Firefox 74.0 on Win10. I use few add-ons in the browser, the ones potentially impacting the UI are: Adblock Plus, uBlock Origin, Dark Reader. However, after disabling them nothing changes.
Ok, I’ve posted up a fix. The issue was caused by older browsers (and possibly also firefox) not supporting CSS properties that calculate different units of measure (e.g. calc(max(4vh, 40px))). Latest version of evergreen browsers (Safari, Chrome, Edge) weren’t affected
