Thanks for the replies. If you think of the library display as a folder, then users move up and down the list (using the arrow keys) and would press Enter to open. That's certainly the model on Windows and MacOS. I don't use GUIs on Linux enough to know if it's the same there, but I suspect it is.

The only confusion come in Calibre when a field is open for edit. So Enter should only open an book when it otherwise would have no effect. Currently, when I move up and down the library books with the arrow keys and press Enter, nothing happens.
