Two clicks, one too many. but OK, still better than nothing. But not as useful as having the All Books button always available.

You could left click the Virtual library button in the Search Bar and select None. There's no Shortcut/Accelerator key for that button and you can't tab to it

That said, a First VL (None) kb short would be nice.

For some reason, I almost never use keyboard shortcuts in Calibre, with a couple of exceptions. I suspect it's because they are so very non-standard for a Windows user that one just gets frustrated at what doesn't work.

There's no point arguing with the OS (any OS), when it thinks it should own a particular action and/or keystroke. But it's easy enough to change the default to something that I can use.

I appreciate the suggestions for workarounds. Thanks. Doesn't change my wish, but does give me some alternatives.
