Hey guys, new Calibre user here... I'm having a little trouble with keyboard shortcuts. First, Calibre seems to be throwing up when I try to access its internal keyboard shortcut settings:

calibre, version 0.8.14
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>AttributeError</b>:'NoneType' object has no attribute 'is_shortcut'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/keyboard.py", line 474, in sizeHint
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/keyboard.py", line 455, in to_doc
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'is_shortcut'

It gives this error repeatedly until Calibre crashes, hard. I checked the bug tracker, but I didn't see it there, but I thought I'd check first to see if it's a solved issue before submitting it.

I'm also having a problem with the shortcut keys in the Reading List plugin... kiwi mentioned that you have to type in the keyboard shortcut you want to use (Ctrl+K, for example). What are the valid modifier keys for the plugin? I've tried Command+' and Cmd+', but they don't seem to work. I can't choose a letter, since Calibre thinks I want to go to the next book that starts with that letter.

I have gotten a single keystroke to work (just the ' by itself), but - and here's the real kicker - it only works once. After the first time, the plugin ignores the keyboard input altogether. (Though adding to the reading lists using the menu still works.) I wasted 70 minutes adding books to my reading list, only to find out that only the first three I highlighted were actually in the list.

Very frustrating.

I'm running Calibre 0.8.14 with Reading List 1.2.6 on OSX 10.6.8.

Thanks for your help, your products have made my eReader actually usable!!
