[GUI Plugin] User interface action' - Embed Metadata Shortcut
Pretty simple plugin, adds a keyboard shortcut for:
  • Embed Metadata >> Embed metadata into book files

There wasn't one available before, now there is.


Edit:

I am NOT referring to the other Embed option which there WAS a keyboard shortcut for:
  • Embed Metadata >> Embed metadata into FILES OF A SPECIFIC FORMAT from selected books

Just realized I misnamed the thread. Hoping a moderator can prepend the [Keyboard Shortcut] in front of the thread name. Thanks

But there is, and always has been:

@theducks - it's a 'User interface action' (GUI) plugin, no such thing as a 'Keyboard Shortcut' plugin.

That shortcut forces you to pick a book format, which is annoying! Mine does this one, which there was NOT a shortcut for.

If there's more than one format which ones does it update?

Did you intend that it be added to the existing Embed Metadata toolbar/menu action, or be a separate action?

IMO it should be one or the other, but not both

No, it is allowing me run the existing Embed command that I prefer to run with a keyboard shortcut. Embedding metadata regardless of type.

If you don't like or understand what I did here, then just don't use it. But, If you have a list of ebpub, mobi, and pdf try both commands so you understand the difference.
