Hi, I was using 4.x for a long time, 64bit, windows 10. The ability to quickly view a book then close viewer, dropping back to main Calibre from the keyboard, was really handy. The V (to view) and then Ctrl-W workflow was easy to do with one hand.

I just got into 6.7.1 (needed support for a new kindle), and lots of little conveniences are different. The focus sometimes seems to default to the search box instead of the book list panel, meaning V doesn't open the book that the cursor might be on. But more confusing is the loss of Ctrl-W to close the viewer.

There doesn't seem to be a Keyboard Preference option for this. Sure, Alt-F4 works, but that's really awkward. Is there a keyboard option to "close viewer" that's not so hand-stretchy?

Thanks as ever for all the work folks put into making this amazing tool.
