Quick-RTKer a "tool" for speeding up entering kanji+stories in your SR

#1
I think we can all agree that this site is a great resource when it comes to learning the kanji. However, since I work with anki, I felt that entering kanji was not as fast as it could be. Intending to speed up my workflow I made this little tool that "assists" RevTK, take a look:

you need to be logged in to RevTK

What this does is
1) Give you keyword, frame and kanji in 3 boxes that upon selecting, automatically mark the text for quick copying
2) automatically select the keyword textbox when loading the page
3) include an iframe with the RevTK page for that kanji, positioned at the "favorite stories" part of the site, since I believe those to be more valuable than the most recent ones (and the data that's on top of the page is no longer necessary because it's covered by the stuff above the iframe)

you can enter a frame number in the box and click the "Go" link to navigate to that one. Next does exactly what it sounds like.

Slight note: I have a field for keyword, frame number, story and kanji in my anki. So four seperate fields (actually I also have one for writing which I use for kanji I need it on, but that's irrelevant) -- the tool is laid out for this. But it should work nicely for any methodology, especially since the frame number is completely optional to add to your srs at all.

Give it a spin. It's definitely not for everybody, but if your workflow is similar to mine, it should produce a slight to medium speed-up.

I'm definitely going to start using this because it makes copy/pasting stories into Anki a breeze. Danke schön!
