Thank you! Version 2.0.2 is up.

• Have doubts this is fixable: If the left side BD has kb focus, I can't dismiss the panel with the Toggle EBD shortcut (for me that's Ctrl+Alt+E), I have to give the Book list focus first (for me that's Ctrl+Shift+L).
  
• IMO, there needs to be a subtle visual indication that the left side BD has focus, I suggest making the "Extended Book Details" at top of panel Bold Italic.
  
• I would not object if Escape in left side BD relinquished focus

The third (Escape to relinquish focus) This came from a member of my local library reading group.

If Escape is troublesome, how about making the "Focus Extended Book Details panel" a toggle?

If you change this action_spec to:

class LeftBookDetailsAction(InterfaceAction):
    name = 'Extended Book Details'
    action_spec = (_('Extended Book Details'), None, _('Toggle Extended Book Details in the left pane'), None)

The full name will appear in menus, and the "Use short button label (EBD)" config setting will take care of button labels.

You might want to tweak the padlock icon for dark mode, the shackle needs to be a lighter colour.
