Tips and tricks

Just some tips and tricks in no particular order. I just added anything I could think of or was told of. Browse them and perhaps you'll find something useful.

Move the subtitles vertically

You can click and drag to move the subtitles vertically. On mobile, you may touch and drag instead.

Paste image in the mining editor dialog

One pretty hidden feature is that you can paste an image in the mining editor dialog if you have it in your clipboard. Click anywhere in the dialog and Ctrl+V. On mobile, the trick also works, but because there's no physical keyboard, you'll have to be inside a text field, like the translation one, for example, and paste the image there. This should work.

Reset all your words

So, officially there's no such button. But you can re-import as unknown all your words. Here's how you can do it:

1. Click on your word counter in the sidebar; it will redirect you to /stats/words/all.
2. Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C
3. Account > Import
4. Go to the Text tab.
5. Ctrl+V
6. Choose Lemma as in and Import as Unknown.

There's no undo button, so be careful.

Temporarily show all words underline

Why would anyone want that ? No clue, but it exists. In the past it was possible to hold shift for that. Now you can do it by triple hitting shift (shift + shift + shift). It act as a toggle, so to revert you would hit that again. There is also a settings to enforce that all the time.

Spend time exploring the settings

Just thought it was worth mentioning to spend time exploring the settings; there's a lot of stuff, to the point there's a search bar.

Change the font

There’s a setting to change the font for the reader and for subtitles. You might like the look better or find one that's easier to read.

Settings are not synced between devices

Something not so obvious, but settings are not synced between devices or different contexts, to make it simple:

• If you're on mobile, you only have one settings page, in the app.
• If you're on desktop, you will likely use both the webapp (kimchi-reader.app in the url) and the web-extension to watch stuff on YouTube or Netflix. The two contexts are different, and thus you'll have two different settings pages that almost look the same, and they're not synced.
