Apparently the Windows interface relies on function keys. Although Macs do have function keys, they don't work the same, they require two keys and often two-handed use, and they don't always work where they're supposed to.
@MarjaE - in Preferences->Add Books->The Add Process the following settings are available:
  • mark books as they are added, Ctrl+Shift+M to Show all Marked Books, I have Alt_Shift+M set to Clear all Marked Books. Marks disappear when a library is closed.
  • get a tag added to newly added books, depending on your usage of the Tags column you may want to use a value like !New so that it sorts to the start of the tags. You could create a Virtual Library based on the existence of !New in Tags. The !New will stick until you remove it.

AFAIK the only calibre features that use function keys in Windows (Linux too) are F1 for Help, and F2 for Cell Edit in the Book list (in OS/X its Enter). Here are the default keyboard shortcuts ==>> Keyboard Shortcuts. Function keys can be used in User defined keyboard shortcuts.
