MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Feature request(?): more Keyboard shortcuts to switch focus

Actually I checked the QAbstractItemView source code in Qt and the editKey on macOS is the Return or Enter, while on other platforms it appears to be F2.

And the activatedKey on macOS is Apple-O and on other platforms it appears to be the Return or Enter keys.

So what the shortcut used here does is quite different depending on platform.

So on Windows/Linux using Enter in BookBrowser will open a tab while on macOS will open that file name for editing which is why I did not see the parallelism.
