SuperMemo shortcuts
Here are some shortcuts for SuperMemo. Most of them were introduced to me by Raj on our first tutorial call.
Things I use all the time (almost every time in each study session):
- Alt-x -- extract the highlighted text
- Alt-p -- modify priority. For priority, use 33 for highly applicable, 66 for interesting but not necessarily immediately applicable, and 88 for probably kinda useless but might be worth exploring later
- Ctrl-Shift-r/Ctrl-j (these two are subtly different) -- set when you will next see the article
- Alt-t -- use highlighted text for title
- Alt-q -- use highlighted text for metadata
- Ctrl-F7 -- set readpoint
- Ctrl-F5 -- apply default layout (for some reason SuperMemo keeps reverting to an odd layout every time I reopen it)
- Ctrl-d -- dismiss element
Things I use much more rarely:
- Alt-z -- create cloze deletion
- q -- takes you into editing mode
- Ctrl-F8 -- then check, to process images to be saved in sidebar
- Shift-Ctrl-m -- choose template to use
- Shift-Ctrl-a -- imports from IE; check article, then check "close browser" (alt-c); then import
- Ctrl-Shift-p -- change concept; alt-g to change group
- Ctrl-Enter -- SuperMemo commander; then type split
- Ctrl-Space -- priorities view for spreading; click on subset you want to spread first
