I honestly think this touches on the underlying solution. If calibre can improve it's accessibility by implementing such support then that is half your problem solved. Having had to do some accessibility work in my day job for a website I got some experience of just how difficult that can be to make everything truly keyboard accessible for instance.

Surely it could be done by just adding a new action that can be bound to a keyboard shortcut that invokes the column header context menu code?

I think the "Size all columns to contents" should be added to that menu, not in this plugin.

Then the "Shrink column if it is too wide to fit" can be left to you as the user to determine which ones you want to shrink. As chaley says it is too problematic to try to figure out which one makes the most sense to try to shrink and "when to stop" etc.
