I don't recall it being so but I am not familiar with all of Calibre or its behavior in operating systems other than Windows, especially with respect to keyboard shortcuts (cats like mice ), and there may be somewhere where it does.

However, I suspect what has possibly happened is that the OP hit ENTER on a highlighted book in the list and ended up unexpectedly in the viewer - recognized that as a new behavior and just assumed that ENTER had previously done something else such as opening fields for editing.

For example, that is an assumption that an experienced database user, including myself, might easily make. In fact, before the proposal of the change came up, I did not really recall what ENTER did when a book is selected (as I am a mouser) - if someone had asked me I would likely have said, erroneously, that it would open something or another for editing and would have got a surprise if I found it actually opened the highlighted book in another program altogether for reading (and I remain surprised ).

Hopefully Awfki will help in that by explaining, but if I were them I think I would be reticent to bother to do so, that just for the sake of maintaining good order. It would seem that from post #3 the solution modifying the new Tweak has sorted things; if that is so that is all that really matters.
