Try to use this Web_returnkey

Web UI: "Return" Key

Changes "Enter" key behaviour in UI form: jump to next input field instead of doing nothing.

Hi;

It works as expected for me, the only downside is when you are in a text area field (multi-line field) you can't get a CRLF.

Can you give us more details ... ?

this a screen cast showing when i installed the module and it didn't work in form view

Med Said BARA

As you can see inthe attached video, itworks (i'm using OpenERP v7.0):

https://1drv.ms/v/s!AoppyorvrgjwaUGK2ppcLQ-UbTY

May be there is a problem with Odoo 8+ versions + !!!

Ahmed Tarek

Is there a way to convert this module to work for odoo 8 ??

Med Said BARA

According to Odoo documentation there is no change for the web client between v7.0 and v8.0, so this module must work out-of-the-box cause it's a pure web module (all in javascript, no python code, no orm ....).

But there is some thing you can do (just to see if it works): try adding a comma (,) at the end of line 12 of the __openerp__.py file (just after: 'js': ['static/view_form.js']).

Ahmed Tarek

Now i know why it didn't work for v8 :D

that's because javascript files are loaded when you put them inside a qweb template like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<openerp>

<data>

<template id="custom_assets_backend" name="custom_web_keyboard_navigation assets" inherit_id="web.assets_backend">

<xpath expr="." position="inside">

<script type="text/javascript" src="/custom_keypad_navigation/static/src/js/custom_keyboard_shortcuts.js"></script>

</xpath>

</template>

</data>

</openerp>

then include this file inside __openerp__.py like this

'data': [

'custom_keyboard_shortcuts.xml',

],

now it works after i have included the javascript file inside a template like i mentioned in my previous comment !

Many Many Thanks @Med Said BARA :)

Med Said BARA

Good news and good luck.

This is a new version with little corrections ( ESLINT for view_form.js...and __openerp__.py web dependency ) if you want to test it:

Thanks again ! much appreciated ...

I just want to know how to understand javascript in odoo ? how can i start ?? as you know the documentation is not enough ......

Med Said BARA

There is really a lack of Odoo technical documentation especially when things are moving fast ( in very few years we jumped from V7.0 to V11) with no backward compatibility ...

First: You have to study JS (out of Odoo)

Second: Read the docs published by Odoo (Here https://www.odoo.com/documentation/11.0/index.html), here http://odoo-development.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html, and here https://odoo-master.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/javascript.html and also https://readthedocs.org/search/?q=odoo and don't forget GITHUB https://github.com/search?q=odoo

Last and not the least: Study the JS code published by Odoo and other developpers

and use the right tools for development and debugging.

Med Said BARA

Do not forget that javascript in odoo is always javascript; there is just some conventions and rules to respect when writing code:

use strict; is recommended for all javascript files

Use a linter (jshint, ...)

Never add minified Javascript libraries

Use UpperCamelCase for class declarations

https://github.com/OCA/maintainer-tools/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#javascript

Med Said BARA

Before i forget: i think you can achieve your goal without loading js code that way
