Mighty Morphin Morphology

I have just released v3.3 of Morph Man.

AnkiWeb page

Be sure to look at the new config.py and edit appropriately.

What changed
● Track recently seen focus morphemes (since Anki was opened) and automatically skip new cards with the same focus (ie. "alternatives"). Can enable/disable by deck with 'next new card feature' option. Can also display how many cards will be skipped via 'print number of alternatives skipped' option.
● 'next new card feature' also alters Anki's selection of new cards to only pick those which have a focus morpheme and are k+1
● Hit "K" to tag a card's as already known, skipping it (and thus it's alternatives, if any, as per above) and letting Morph Man consider it mature in future recalcs. Can also add this tag to cards manually.
● Hit "L" to search for cards with the same focus morph, useful for finding alternative sentences to learn a word from or simply see more examples of it
● Ctrl-Shift-N in browser to immediately review the selected cards. This is useful if you decide to learn a word from an alternative sentence after using "L" (above) during review or came across some word outside Anki and want to immediate practice it.
● Ctrl-Shift-P to batch play all the media of the selected cards. This is useful if you want to quickly see many examples of a new word or grammar point in action.
● 'new card merged fill' feature allows you to study a parent deck and have it pull new cards from all children decks at once (whereas normally Anki will sequentially pull from the first deck until it's hit the daily limit, then move on the the next, etc). Also automatically skips cards whose "due" isn't above some configurable threshold.
● 'morphHighlight' command for card templates to wrap morphemes in <span>s with maturity info in the attributes so you can customize their color/style via css according to overall maturity level (eg. mature = blue, known = green, unknown = red) or, for more detail, by maturity in days (eg. 11 = red, 12 = dark pink, 13 = pink, 14 = purple, etc)
● Databases created from text files can have maturity assigned to the morphemes
● Cards in "learning" status now how maturity assigned (set to 0.5 days) instead of 0, making sub-day "seen" and "known" thresholds more useful
● Can save all.db, mature.db, known.db, and seen.db
● Can configure optimal sentence length (defaults to 4 morphemes)
● "Lite" mode which only modifies notes which are k+2 or better in order to reduce how much data must by synced
● bugfixes and/or improved error messages for many issues

Video tutorials
You can see the above features in action with the youtube video tutorials.

How you can help
● Tweaks to the algorithm and suggestions for otherwise improving Morph Man Index
● Create a tutorial. Or request a tutorial if a particular feature is confusing or non-intuitive
● Share new/novel ways you've found to utilize the tools to improve your learning or solve interesting problems
