Keyboard shortcuts to own metadata
Hello, dear forum!
Is there a way or an addon to assign a keyboard shortcut to one's own metadata under "Edit Metadata"? I like to work with the keyboard, but I have to use the mouse to select a single field for each book entry. If I use tab keys, I have to press them several times, which makes the mouse faster again. |

I'm using Action Chains, Single Field Edit. One can assign a shortcut key for any action, which in this case is 'F' for adding a title as favourite:

Or
Preferences -> Advanced Section: Shortcuts If you have no toolbar or menu for that; the default is Ctrl p on Windows or Linux. |

Assuming you are not on macOS Alt+accelerator key works. If you are on macOS you are out of luck.
