I manage my photos using Adobe Lightroom. There's a photo grid and I can use the keys 0-5 to set a picture rating, X to mark a picture as discarded and another key to mark a picture as good etc. It's very simple and efficient. With the custom fields in calibre an equivalent could be metadata templates plus custom shortcuts.
Is there any way to accomplish quick editing (especially in the grid view)?

I know I can create an ad-hoc collection of books by using markers. But there's just a single type of marker.
The full Metadata Editor is available for the selected with the tap of the 'E' key

Or

The entire (user configurable) Context Menu with a right-click
