FEATURE REQUESTs: Open top book in library search by hit Enter And shortcut-key to open the library.

Hello

If I do a search in the library and a book (or the searched book) is on top, then it would be great it opens by hitting enter. What should be the normal case.

The searched bible is on top, now a quick hit on the return button and the book opens.

It makes no sense to 1. use no short-cut key to open the library. 2. Because for the search we need the keyboard. And then after the search we have to use the mouse again. Really?

I'm not lazy, but it makes not sense to use the mouse/trackpad to open the library. Then switch to the keyboard to search for the book. After the book is appeared. We have again to go back to mouse/trackpad to open the book. This is a good gymnastic but for me absolutely unnecessary.

Better all is working by keyboard.

I use a desk-top, + wish all to work off the mouse. I find mousing efficient; I already know where it is - it's in my hand.

I do not want to have to search for keys as I am an inexpert typist. With the mouse, I just point + pop.

With Command+L I can open the library. Then I can type the resource I want. But then after I hit Enter nothing happens. I would love if the resource on top would be open.

Thanks

Ctrl+L is the shortcut key to open the library.

It might be nice to have a quick keyboard way to open the first book you find in the library. But did you know there's an even better way to do this? Alt+D puts your cursor in the command box, where you can type the title of a book you want to open, and then press Enter to open it. All can be done without using the mouse.

I don't care one way or the other (on the library). But I do wish they'd be consistent. Some input boxes pull the top entry with Enter, and some don't. Then, there's the 3-Dot menu, where you can't drag a choice where you want. Select Documentation, and it opens a second library instance, even if already displayed. And 'somewhere'. Select Help and it pops it 3 windows deep in my layout. I always cringe, to see what's going to happen.

UI ... UI ... UI. Need a design team. Won't need the work-around team so much.

Thanks. What is the Alt+D on Mac? Neither, Control, Option nor Command with D works.

If it's in there, I can't see it. I might have guessed Shift-Cmd-D but that doesn't do anything.

BTW, the tab key in a panel, pops one into the input box .. sometimes. Sometimes not. All depends

Try Option-Command-L. The wiki page on Mac keyboard says it's "Focus Command bar".
