iPhone / iPad
How to change keybinds in AnkiMobile
If you use AnkiMobile, the keybind settings live in the review settings.
- Connect MODI in Switch Mode so the LED turns solid blue.
- Open Anki on your iPhone or iPad.
- Open Settings.
- Go to Review.
- Open Gamepads.
- Assign the actions you want and test them during review.
Android
How to change keybinds in AnkiDroid
The Android path is similar, but there is one button-label quirk worth knowing about ahead of time.
- Connect MODI in Switch Mode so the LED turns solid blue.
- Open AnkiDroid.
- Open Settings.
- Go to Controls.
- Assign the actions you want and test them during review.
- The X-Y-B-A labels can appear as Y-X-A-B while you are assigning them.
- That mismatch is cosmetic. The commands you save should still work normally after setup.
