New option to enable FSRS short-term scheduler

The FSRS short-term scheduler is very unlikely to schedule an interval less than 4 hours. If one has to clear all their (re)learning steps to enable the short-term scheduler, it is unlikely to be useful because the Again interval would be too long.

So, for the users who want to try the FSRS short-term scheduler, we have to find a solution that allows them to define their own steps and let FSRS determine if they need more same-day reviews or not.

As suggested in the Forums post, I think that a good solution would be to allow an interested user to enable the short-term scheduler through the debug console.

Or as suggested by Expertium, we can make a simple command that the user can enter into the custom scheduling field.

This is quite my situation as well. I have found that using at least one custom learning step along with the FSRS 5 scheduler is the best combination. I suggest an option for enabling the short-term scheduler to apply for all presets as well.

enable the short-term scheduler through the debug console.

That would reduce the number of users who use FSRS's short-term scheduling to approximately 0

The debug console method was intended to be an additional way to enable it. I am not suggesting the removal of the existing method (leaving the steps blank).

But, your suggestion of adding an option in the custom scheduling seems to be a better alternative.

But I think this only applies to single presets. There is no way to apply to the entire collection through the custom scheduling (if you have different presets). There should be a way as well to apply to the entire collection.

Custom scheduling applies to the entire collection even though it is accessed through the deck options.

Yes please. I'm running this way now and it's great. Please let me keep it.

I share this sentiment as well. I have found it phenomenal and it has already helped save me a lot of headaches.
