@chaley - whilst you're looking into this you might want to try this, with the keyboard only

Show the Tag Browser, give the Tag Browser keyboard focus, Tab down to the last Category, and hit Tab again, it's not obvious to me where keyboard goes.

If I press space:- Most times, keyboard focus returns to the book list in Grid mode (which I never use), and there's a Sort button to the left of the Search box. Aside: The Sort button icon is black which means its hard to see.

If I press Tab again:- The keyboard focus returns to the book list without the mode change

Occasionally I get this:

Which is completely alien to me, I don't use it either.

Now reset everything, hide the Tag Browser, return Book list to List Mode.

Show the Tag Browser, give the Tag Browser keyboard focus, hit Shift+Tab, it's not obvious to me where keyboard goes - if I press space the Tag Browser Find box opens up. If I press Shift+Tab keyboard focus returns to the book list without the mode change.

Given my druthers, I'd prefer:

Tabs at bottom of the Category list give kb focus to the Configure button and then the Find button and then the top Category, and vice-versa for Shift+Tab at top of the Category list.

And that the 'Give the Tag Browser keyboard focus' shortcut be a toggle between the Tag Browser and Book List.

The only item that really annoys me is throwing the Book list into Grid mode, the rest I can live with.
