I had been adding some cards to Anki.
It was lowercase word and word with stress in russian. like *торты тОрты.*
I'm lazy and i wrote two simple scripts. All what i have to do is input words with stress into a file.
First script for creating file with list of sequence of word with stress and lowercase word
```python
import os
f = open("/home/horhik/text.txt", 'r+')
lines = f.readlines()
for ind, line in enumerate(lines):
print(line.lower(), " ", line)
```
After, i just pushed output to file and opened it it Emacs.
Second script automatizing adding cards to A**nki**.
I split my window by **Anki** "add card" window and **Emacs**. As i use `evil` mode in Emacs, script looks like that:
```python
import pyautogui
import os
while(True):
pyautogui.hotkey("winleft", 'j') # toggle window
pyautogui.press(["v", "$", "y"]) # copy string
pyautogui.hotkey("winleft", 'j') # toggle window
pyautogui.hotkey("ctrl", 'v') # past text
pyautogui.press("tab") # next input field
pyautogui.hotkey("winleft", 'j') # toggle window
pyautogui.press(["j","0", "w", "v" , "$", "y", "0", "j", "j" ])
# move to next line beginning, copy it and go to next occurence
pyautogui.hotkey("winleft", 'j') # toggle window
pyautogui.hotkey("ctrl", 'v') # paste text
pyautogui.press("tab") # ...
pyautogui.press("tab") # ...
pyautogui.press("tab") # ...
pyautogui.press("tab") # ... way to submit button
pyautogui.press("space") # pressing submit button
```
`while(true)` was my mistake. I launched script in terminal, with `sleep` 3 seconds before.
But i couldn't shut script down without any strange effect when i opening not only 2 windows in my Window Manager.
Some strange things happen before I cached terminal and pressed `Ctrl+C`
