I run across this same Create HTML Table of Contents crash quite often, but I can't figure out the rhyme or reason. Same symptoms too.

It seems like it only occurs after I have worked on the book for a while, and it always works perfectly fine after I reload the EPUB and recreate the TOC.

I've just gotten in the habit of saving the EPUB at all "major" revisions, so I usually lose zero work when the crash happens.

Windows 10 64-bit (although I think I recall this happening back in Windows 7 as well). And it has been happening for quite a while, so it isn't something that was introduced very recently.

I'll definitely try to pay much closer attention to this the next time I run across it.

While not exactly what you wanted:

Did you know that there is an Insert Link button:

Or you could go into Edit > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcut, and search for "Link":

Or you could also create a Clip:

Code:
<a href="\1">\1</a>
If you wanted to quickly highlight something like:

Code:

and change it into:

Code:
<a href="http://sample.com">http://sample.com</a>
