I have a shortcut on the desktop to launch the keyboard. I tap the "keys" with the mouse. My mouse is wireless so I have no problems using it while on the couch.

What also were helpful would be the possibility to quickly switch the user interface of calibre to a sort of saved "presenting mode view" more suitable for the purpose of simply showing the content to others on a distant screen: e.g. bigger fonts, menu with its icons deaktivated ... Would you have a hint for that?

Take a look at the
View Manager plugin. It doesn't seem to deal with fonts, but it handles sorts, visible columns, and column sizes.
Another thing you can do is to use different calibre configuration directories. I think that things like fonts, icons, toolbars, and the like are stored there. For example, I have around 5 of them for different development purposes. You tell calibre to use a different config directory using an environment variable. I do this in .bat files. Example:
Code:
set CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=D:\CBH_Data\calibre.git\config_test_small
calibre
Use a different bat file for each config you want. Use
Code:
set CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=
to tell calibre to use the default.
