thanks for your answer, but I am not sure I have understood what you suggested, in any case it did not work for me. Anyway, I have observed that alphabetic jump in the current release of Calibre only works for letters B,H,N,L,R,X,Y,Z, perhaps because the others are busy as shortcuts. But I have also noticed that the jump is irrespective of the possibly truncation of the national articles. In other words, "L" jumps for instance to Tommaso Campanella's "La cittą del sole", though the book is obviously sorted under C (language=italian).
AFAIK calibre has always been that way - i.e. single letter shortcuts prevent those letters being used to jump in the book list, and the other letters operate on the displayed title rather than the sort title.

You can fix the first by changing the shortcuts, the JobSpy plugin has a tool to create a CSV of your shortcuts which makes them easy to find.

And maybe there could be some settings - a) a checkbox to enable/disable book list jumping (I would disable it), b) radio buttons to select which column to use for single letter jumps - e.g. title or title_sort.
