I've not found here the usual "Requested features" thread so I'm posting my suggestion / request here (feel free to point me to the right place for next time though). I've been using Calibre a lot in past few days mainly to load my new PRS-505 with some books I've aquired in the past and so far my only quible with it is that you need to use the mouse to double click on Author / Title / Tags fields to amend them which is OK for a few books here and there but for a "bulk" renaming and adding of authors and tags it's a bit tedious as it's much faster to work with keyboard only.

Would you consider an option to add the Edit option for those fields to the Context menu (together with View / Save / Remove) or is there any option to assign this to a shortcut keys? Also it would be nice to be able to "edit" those fields (e.g. paste) in multiply selected books - very usefull mainly for adding Authors to series of books or Tags etc.

Thank you.
