Not only spanish keyboards - US too
Ah-ha - Actually it depends on how you get to Manage Authors:
- If you get there by the context menu of a specific author in the right sidebar or in the Tag Browser then that specific Author Name field is already opened for editing.
I am habituated to immediately hitting Escape, and tabbing to the Author Sort or Link cells and hitting F2. I can't imagine that I would ever use Manage Authors to change an Author Name, only the Sort Name and Link.
I also like to get out of edit mode ASAP because its too easy to over type the current value, and because I want navigate the table with the arrow keys just as I do the book list table.
My preference would be that the Author Name cell be current, but not open for edit - probably because I'm keyboard centric, mouseketeers tend to like things being done for them.
- If you get there via the Alter Tag Browser route then you land in the Search box. from then on the author table behaves much the same as the book list table - including the use of F2 to open a cell for edit.
