Keyboard shortcuts

When a word bank is active (and no other extension has the focus), use:

• the ← / → arrows to select a word,

• the ← / → arrows while holding Ctrl to move around the selected word in the answer (release Ctrl to apply the changes),

• Del to remove the selected word from the answer,

• Backspace to remove the last word of the answer.

Limitations

• The extension is deeply tied to the inner workings of Duolingo, meaning that significant changes on their side could (temporarily) break it. If that happens, you can either:

  • wait for me to fix it (you can open an issue if there is none yet about it),

  • if you're a developer, try to fix it yourself, then open a related PR.
