When you create a flashcard in RemNote, you choose its direction: forward (prompt to answer), backward (answer to prompt), or bidirectional. If you want to update the direction of many flashcards at once (for example, after importing notes or generating flashcards with AI), you don't have to change each one individually.
Select the Rems you want to update, then use one of the two methods below.
Selecting Rems
You have two options for selecting multiple Rems:
Mouse: Click and drag across the Rems you want to select.
Keyboard: Click on any Rem in the document, then press
Cmd+A(Mac) orCtrl+A(Windows/Linux) three times to select all Rems in the document.
Using the Omnibar
Select the Rems whose card direction you want to change.
Open the Omnibar with
Cmd+K(Mac) orCtrl+K(Windows/Linux).Type the direction you want, for example "Practice Forward" or "Practice Backward", and select the matching command.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
As a faster alternative, select your Rems and use these shortcuts directly, without opening the Omnibar:
Action | Windows/Linux | Mac |
Toggle Practice Forward |
|
|
Toggle Practice Backward |
|
|
You can also customize these shortcuts in Settings > Keyboard shortcuts.
Note: Both the Omnibar and keyboard shortcuts toggle each direction on or off. For example, pressing Cmd+Shift+G on a set of forward-only cards will turn forward practice off, and pressing it again will turn it back on.
