Alt+A and calibre portable
The Alt+A shortcut does not seem to be working in calibre portable.
I recently installed calibre portable and today tried the Alt+A shortcut and it does not work.
Just to confirm it was not my machine I started up the myold local install of calibre, tried it Alt+A there and it works.
Should this shortcut work in calibre portable?
In case it matters I'm running version 0.8.54 of calibre portable and 0.8.53 of the local install of calibre.

It's a known bug in the new version - see this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=180265

Nothing in 0.8.54, that's the problem. But it should show a list of all books by the same author.

Preferences: (Misc) Keyboard is where many of these can be changed (when not broken )

Also most 'Context' (right click) menus will show the shortcuts for items.

The possibility to change the key combination from Alt+A to something else is not broken in the current release. For now, I'm using Alt+Shift+A to find all books of the same author.
