Add a toolbar button to toggle Cram Mode on/off
A button on the toolbar would turn the Cramming Scheduler on and off. This would substitute one click for the four clicks of Settings > Manage Plugins > Cramming Scheduler > OK -- which is tiresome if a user often enables/disables cram mode.

Thanks for your comment, Lisa. Whether the extra clicks are a "big deal" or not depends on how often one needs to do it. There was a season when I was turning the cramming scheduler on, then off every time I used Mnemosyne, so two clicks instead of eight is an advantage -- especially for people like myself who try to avoid mouse controls. And four clicks to do a simple and repeated toggle is poor workflow.
I'm not a programmer, but I expect that adding a toolbar button would indeed be a quick task.

I agree this would be nice to have, but seriously it is not a big deal at all to click a few times. There are other suggestions on this forum that could potentially be much more useful than this, so let's work on those first, unless it is just so easy to add this feature that someone could do it in 10 minutes or less.

There is a VERY useful plugin "Cards Statistics" which MUST be de-activated ( ? before ?) Cramming is ON. Since we , without doubt, will forget to coordinate these plugins, there will be concequences. Unless a pop-up message warns user to deactivate the 'Cards Statistics' plugin and inter-related plugin 'Statistics Abbreviations'.
The "Cards Statistics" is the Star here; the second one is the necessary ancillary. -

All the other standard plugins are basically to "turn on and leave it" -- for example, we don't keep turning the Maps plugin on and off. But Cramming Scheduler is different -- a user may turn it on and off many times. That is why it warrants a toolbar button.
