Hi,

I've recently started tidying up my library, and am using the 'Quality Check' plugin to help me.

What I keep needing to do is go back to the output of the plugin after I've dug into the details, but there seems to be no simple way back to that filtered view.

Here's a example:
1. Choose Quality Check > Check metadata > Check Series gaps.
2. In the list, right click, Similar books > Books by the same author.
3. Copy the series name to clipboard and search in google to find the series
4. Correct the numbering, and make a note of any additional for future reading

at this point i'd like to go back to the Check Series gap output but
- rerunning the check takes some time
- The search history only seems to include typed searches.

The only workaround I have found is to paste or retype the search bar contents e.g. marked:series_gaps in the example above. This only works if I know what it was.

What I feel would be better is a 'back' button to easily take me back to the previous view (like a back button in a webbrowser). I guess a matching forward button would also make sense in case you go too far back.

Does such a thing already exist and I've just not found it yet?
