Why would you want another key just to edit those two columns?

Calibre removes books to the recycle bin, and in doing so it creates temporary folders in the library and its those that get moved to the recycle bin - so there is quite a lot of IO when a book is removed. There is no 'permanent delete' option, unfortunately. What sort of device is your library on.

Use the Mark Books (Ctrl+M) feature - they will 'stick' within a session until you clear them - they are indicated by a gold stickpin icon at the extreme left

Now show Mark Books (Ctrl+Shift+M) and select them (Ctrl+A)

Now you can mass delete, do mass metadata edits etc.

I suggest you create two more physical libraries - Final and WorkBench.

Move a group of books (say 500) from the Current library to WorkBench. Do the ordering, metadata editing, deleting in WorkBench; when that is done Move all the books in the Workbench library to the Final library - use the Copy to Library option in the book list right click menu . . . repeat on the next 500 et cetera.

This may also alleviate your slow deleting issue
