Calibre keyboard shortcuts?

[tonyc46]

I'm looking for keystrokes available in the editing metadata screen. I'm especially interested in moving to next or previous book.

Thanks.

@tonyc46 - these work for me

Alt/Right Arrow for Next
Alt/Left Arrow for Previous

Thanks. They worked for me as well. I saw the arrows in the edit screen, but didn't try them with the alt key.

I need this keyboard shortcut also for the "downloaded metadata review individually" window, actually better if it was CTRL+arrows (right arrow actually, as there's no button to go back)

As they are not there, what's the easiest way to add such shortcut?
Would i need to change the source?

@paoletto - If there's no entry in Tweaks->Keyboard - and for that dialogue I don't believe there are any - then you would have to change your source to replace Ctrl/N with Ctrl/→ Alt/N with Alt/→.

I'll go out on a limb and say that accelerator keys are never reconfigurable in calibre, nor for that matter in anything else - how where's my flak jacket

Thanks for your explanation.
Unfortunately, in the dialogue i mentioned, not even Ctrl/N works. The next button is simply shortcutless

I suppose i can check out and build calibre on my own, with this keybinding added

Its an accelerator key - so its alt/N not ctrl/N - accelerators have always been Alt since Xerox Star and IBM SAA-CUA.

- whoops, sorry my bad, I wrote...

...change your source to replace Ctrl/N with Ctrl/→.

I'd better change it, good job I put my flak jacket on, now where's my tin hat.

@clytie

I usually use [Preferences], [Advanced], and [Keyboard] to look up a shortcut or to add/modify one.

I don't know if the ones you're looking for are there, since they're mostly for the higher level functions

I don't think there's any way to print a cheat sheet tho

In any event, see this change: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...50c8c1426a5860

I just knew if I looked hard enough on here I would find the answer to my problem...Bingo I did!!! Thanks

Out of curiosity, is there a keyboard shortcut key to clear the search filter? I find the Alt-A and Alt-Shft-S very useful, but returning to the main library would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!

[kovidgoyal]

Press / and then backspace and enter

[BetterRed]

@Syllius - You can customise Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts->Miscellaneous->Clear the current search, I have it as Ctrl+`

There is now, DaltonST added an option in JobSpy to create one some time ago - it writes a tab limited text to the clipboard that you can save and read with something like CSVFileView, viz:
