I'm currently editing a lot of books to add some metadata from a list. Sadly this list is not ordered alphabetically. This means I have to jump around in the list of relevant books a lot. Doing so I found out that I can just start typing the title to make it just to the relevant book, as long as it does not contain an existing keyboard shortcut. If one of the letters is a shortcut, I have to type the pressing shift. This usually works, but sadly shift+a and shift+n are shortcuts as well. could those two shortcuts be changed? esp. if shift+n is really the same as n (stated in the manual)

And on the topic of shortcuts, maybe they should be reorganised anyway. e.g. alt+a, alt+t, alt+p all do a "Show books by the Same ... as the current book". but to get the same series you need alt+SHIFT+s because alt+s is already used for a search which in turn can also be accessed by ctrl+f.
