There are 2 entirely different sources for the JS Shortcut Listing:
[1] Calibre's maingui.keyboard.shortcuts (a.k.a. Default)
[2] Calibre's "calibre\shortcuts\main.json" (a.k.a. Custom)
The JS Tool treats all shortcuts in maingui.keyboard.shortcuts identically based on the values available in that dictionary, and main.json items identically based on the values available in that dictionary.
Hence, the behavior you observed and noted.
My main.json looks like below.
Code:
{
"map": {
"Interface Action: Add Books (Add Books) - qaction": [],
"Interface Action: Drop Search Results (Drop Search Results) : menu action : Drop Search Results": [
"A"
],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: 'FormatSpy": [],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: 'Notes Viewer": [

"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: Keyboard Shortcut to Autofill Custom Column #2 [Selected Books]": [
"Ctrl+Num+2"
],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: Keyboard Shortcut to Autofill Custom Column #3 [Selected Books]": [
"Ctrl+Num+3"
],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: Keyboard Shortcut to Autofill Custom Column #4 [Selected Books]": [
"Ctrl+Num+4"
],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: List Active Keyboard Shortcuts": [
"Ctrl+Num+*"
],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: PubMed NBIB to RIS Converter/Exploder to Auto-Add": [
"Ctrl+`"
],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: Scrub Tag/Tag-Like Columns Using Rules Tables [All Tags]": [
"Ctrl+S"
],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: Tickle Auto-Adder to Wake Up": [
"Ctrl+W"
],
"Interface Action: Job Spy (Job Spy) : menu action : JS+:GUI Tool: Update Custom Column Based on Another Custom Column [Selected Books]": [
"Ctrl+B"
],
"Interface Action: Show Book Details (Show Book Details) : menu action : close_all_details": [
"Alt+Num+1"
],
"Interface Action: Show Book Details (Show Book Details) : menu action : show_locked_details": [
"Alt+Num+2"
]
},
"options_map": {}
}
All of the main.json shortcuts are treated identically based on their values in main.json. I personally don't see anything in the above that lends itself to doing something different than what it currently does.
