Keyboard shortcut for a specific virtual library

ownedbycats · 09-15-2020, 02:27 PM

When I add new books to my library, they filter into my Intake virtual library.

I use View Manager to switch to the columnset/VL associated with the book type (eBooks/paper books/fanfics) and then use Ctrl+Right to get to the Intake VL.

Since I'm constantly miscounting how many times I need to hit Ctrl+Right I thought it'd be easier if I could just associate a specific keyboard shortcut with that VL.

Is there any way to do this aside from View Manager view associated with a VL?

(cue debates about whether it's better to use a separate library for this

)

Assuming your Intake VL is rightmost, set the Clear Virtual Library shortcut to Ctrl+Up, then use Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Left to get to it.

That'll work thank you.

You should notice that a Ctrl+Up in your Fiction VL tab will land you on the same book in the All books tab - that's why I have it set. The name of the shortcut is a bit obscure if you have your VL's tabbed.
