1) go to study page
2) type the number of the frame you're studying in the search bar
3) press "Enter" or "Return" key
4) profit!

now, seriously, i don't think either this is possible with the current system (someone correct me if i'm wrong), nor do i think it necessary, since you already (should) have the book by your side, typing 4 numbers into the search bar is hardly a difficult thing to do.
if, on the other hand, you're studying without the book, i'd recommend you don't; without it you don't get either the non-kanji primitives, nor the stroke order hints, nor the list of primitives in the kanji (which, while not completely necessary, makes things faster sometimes).

1) that is what I am doing wink
2) I do not remember, because I go through the Kanji without looking on the number.

I have a book, but I prefer to make my own stories or just see what others have. Only when I have difficulties i would look at Heisig.
Stroke order I see from installed font "KanjiStrokeOrder" and using Greasemonkey skript (is available on this forum) to show a Kanji with this font.

You can also type in the keyword. Basic responses aside, studying from the last viewed card is pointless: you should be more worried about just filing through all the kanji you didn't understand in whatever order. Just my two cents.

Yes, I think that as well. The order does not matter. However, if you have only a couple minutes to relax - and want to study new kanji, it can be a little frustrating ...

When you go to "study", under the search box it's got:

"All my stories (<NUMBER>)"

Where <NUMBER> is number of stories you have entered. I assume all your kanji have stories, so enter <NUMBER> into the search box to go to last studied card. Job done.

Thanks for your suggestion. This can be used if you really do it one after another. But if I jump to another one and write a story on it  - the number does not match. For Example, if number of stories could be 600 but you are only on the Kanji 550. This means that you have entered 50 stories after Kanji 600 already.
I just do not agree often with the sequence, offered by Heisig. I see his logic in putting it that way. But for me it is simply easier to remember the Kanji if I amend the order of some Kanji. And I live that 50 stories for later, because I do not see enough flexibility to get them easily out of the existing Kanji order.
