2015-12-22T12:34:18ZDid Anki receive a mention in the flashcards discussion?

2015-12-23T18:45:49ZWe were focusing on Emacs-based solutions, I think, because of the keystrokes. Still, Anki is cool!

2015-12-23T19:24:09ZI don't follow. What do you mean by "because of the keystrokes?" I think Anki would have some trouble with Emacs modifier keys if you used Anki's type answer box, but I've not tried that feature with any of my Emacs or Org notes.

2015-12-23T23:48:59ZOh yeah, that's why I suggested looking into keywiz, which actually reads keychords and checks if you're right or not. Elsewhere in the Hangout we talked about how many commands are part of muscle memory, so combining keywiz and org-drill might be fun for that.

2015-12-22T16:55:23ZIt would be nice if you could use Emacs to solve the technical issues ;)

2015-12-23T18:46:29ZHeh. Well, this particular issue will be solved by adding more items to my pre-hangout checklist in Org Mode, so there's that. =)
