Is there an easier way to switch AUTHOR - TITLE
As near as I have been able to determine, there is only one way to switch Title and Author...which is to use the Bulk Edit and click the box.

Is there a Ctrl key or other menu item to do it?

Should there be?

I need it often, but rarely for a "bulk" mode.

Thanks,

jp

There is also a button in the edit metadata dialog to do it.

Button to the left of the title field while in Edit Metadata.

Haven't found a Shortcut yet, but "E" is a shortcut or can be programmed as a shortcut to to Edit Metadata making it easy to get there taking little time and less mouse use.

If you tab/backtab to a button you can hit space to 'press' it.

@Kovid - you might want to take at look at the tab order of the Swap & Manage Authors buttons. I would expect them to be immediately prior to the Title and Authors fields, but they are after the Series name or Series number (if active) fields.
