elephant's Issues

Add case insensitive option to search command

It would be great if searches could be made case insensitive, such as with grep's -i flag.

Allow quizzing on subsets of deck

It would be great to add arguments to the elephant quiz command so that a review session only quizzes you on cards containing the listed phrases. This effectively adds card grouping support.

For example, a user could create a bunch of cards while learning the tensorflow api, and mention "tensorflow" in each of these questions... ie:
question: "In tensorflow 1.8, where is the relu activation function located?"

If the user phrased all tensorflow questions in this way, they could review only these cards with a simple command.

Support multi-phrase searching

It would be nice to search for cards that contain phrase1 and phrase2 and phrase3... etc so as to identify sub-groups and sub-sub-groups of card topics.

Please add!

Add support for non-flashcard notes

It would be great if single notes were supported, and not just flashcards. Sometimes you just want to write down a piece of information and have it be searchable, without wanting to memorize it.

Removing cards causes ID duplicates

Say you have 3 cards, with ids 0, 1, 2. Then you remove cards 0 and 1. Then you add 2 more cards, which are given ids of 1 and 2. You now have 2 cards with an id of 2. Uh oh!

Trouble running after install.

After I ran the clone, cd and pip install, I got this message when trying to run any elephant command (other than just $ elephant) such as:
daniel@eduroam-169-233-152-187:~/projects/elephant$elephant ls Traceback (most recent call last): File "/anaconda3/bin/elephant", line 11, in <module> sys.exit(main()) File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 764, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 717, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1137, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 956, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 555, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/elephant.py", line 118, in ls c.execute('SELECT * FROM cards LIMIT ?', (limit,)) sqlite3.OperationalError: no such table: cards

My environment: Python=3.7, conda=4.5.12, OSX=Mojave

Add fancy output?

It might look nice to have questions and answers presented inside a box like this:

+---------------------+
|                     |
|  What is the        |
|  approximate shape  |
|  of earth?          |
|                     |
+---------------------+

Limits don't work as expected

Specifying a search or a ls --limit currently doesn't change the number of results that are printed, but instead the number of cards that are searched for this command. This often leads to failure if there are more than the given limit cards in the deck.
