Isn't it only for cards that are NOT front-to-back that there is a next 
button?

Note that this preview dialog is the same you get when previewing cards 
directly from the add or edit dialog box, and is not specific for the card 
browser.

I realise 'next' is confusing in this context: it does not mean 'next card in 
the browser', but 'next sister card', where sister cards are cards created 
from the same information, i.e. a recognition and a production card.

I don't think it does exist for 'front-to-back' either, but it may have been 
accidentally true that the next card in your browser window was a sister card 
:-)

This being said, page down to go to the next card would indeed be useful. I 
probably will require some trickery, but I'll investigate it.

There is no functionality to clone cards in general, but your particular use 
case is perfectly serviced by the 'cloze card type' plugin:

First, create a card with

text: The most prominent practitioner of [sfumato] painting mode was Leonardo 
da Vinci

If later on you decide you want the second card, just edit the text to read

text: The most prominent practitioner of [sfumato] painting mode was [Leonardo 
da Vinci]

And you have your two cards. Mnemosyne will even know these two cards are 
sister cards and e.g. not schedule them on the same day.

Cheers,

Peter
