No idea what that is. So, I'll come back to you on this.
Aa-ha - now I do, like most so-called 'user friendly' thingamabobs (e.g. dates) I pretend they don't exist.

The CCR Category chooser reflects the sections in the PI Index - I would have labelled this one PI Type.

The PI Updater Category chooser looks like it does the same but uses different words - I would have labelled this one PI Usage.

And I would have another one labelled PI Source - Built-in, Updater, Manual (from file)

One of my biggest gripes with a lot of software is that they often use same word to label different objects, and different words to label the same object. It's not as though English has a shortage of words, Cambridge added 1,200 new ones last week.

Once I saw no harm done, I didn't try to reproduce at the time. I don't think it related to changing a QV shortcut at such

I'll try to reproduce… maybe in light mode.

I wish I could tweak calibre to use a different border colour for the current widget (i.e. the one with keyboard focus)… like I can Sigil:

Yep.

No worries, I'll install an additional 8.10 portable and add CCR to it and get back to you.

Scratch that anyway.

I was trying to fashion a list of custom shortcuts. SBD is one of the few default shortcuts I leave be — i.e. I don't set to None or something else — and because it's unusual — Space/Shift Space— in the context of what I was doing it looked weird to me, viz:

Could you add Custom Shortcuts to the "Show" choose list - that would include customised to "None".

It's a plugin, if it isn't installed you won't see its shortcut.

Being seldom used - by who? There are ~2.7M active calibre users, I've disabled dozens.
