Thanks - yes I saw that, that's what prompted the 'Afterthought'.
The 'difficulty' is getting the book title into the clipboard. Items in the View->Recently used list are not easily copied.
I have a gadget that copies fixed text (Textify), but it doesn't work in drop-down menus -- the 'magic' key sequence (ctrl+shift+F12) does nothing, and the 'magic' mouse sequence (ctr+alt+middle) does whatever - in this case View the book. But that's not a calibre or a Qt restriction; it doesn't work on menu drop-downs elsewhere either - including in Windows itself.
The Recently Viewed list is in metadata_db_prefs_backup, but that file is written when calibre is closed, I might want to get back to where I was 10 minutes ago. Closing calibre so it gets updated, opening the file, searching for gui_view_history, copying the first item, starting calibre, and using the JS tool is not a pretty option.
