Arrow Key Navigation in List View

Navigate editable list views with Arrow Keys — Up, Down, Left, Right like a Spreadsheet

Key Features

Up & Down Navigation

Press Arrow Up or Arrow Down to jump between rows while staying in the same column. Your data is saved automatically when navigating.

Left & Right Navigation

Press Arrow Left or Arrow Right to move between cells on the same row. Smart cursor: moves within text first, then jumps to the adjacent cell.

Spreadsheet-Like Experience

Makes Odoo’s editable list views work like a real spreadsheet. Navigate freely in any direction without lifting your hands from the keyboard.

How It Works

Up / Down

Move to the same column in the row above or below. Current cell value is validated and saved automatically.

Left / Right

Move cursor within text. When cursor reaches the boundary, it jumps to the previous or next editable cell.

Enter Key

Press Enter to confirm and move to the next row — standard Odoo behavior works alongside arrow key navigation.

Zero Config

Install the module and it works instantly on every editable list view across all models. No setup required.

Smart Cursor Behavior

Left and Right arrow keys work intelligently. When a cell is focused, the cursor moves within the text first. Only when the cursor reaches the start or end of the text does it jump to the adjacent cell. This makes editing feel natural — just like Google Sheets.

Press Left Arrow

  • If cursor is inside the text → cursor moves left within text
  • If cursor is at position 0 → jumps to the previous editable cell
  • If text is selected → collapses selection first (browser default)

Press Right Arrow

  • If cursor is inside the text → cursor moves right within text
  • If cursor is at end of text → jumps to the next editable cell
  • If text is selected → collapses selection first (browser default)

Works on Every Editable List View

Any model with an editable list view gets arrow key navigation automatically.

Sale Order Lines Purchase Order Lines Invoice Lines Inventory Moves Journal Items Product Pricelist BOM Components Timesheet Lines + Any Editable List

Why This Module?

Faster Data Entry

Stop clicking on every cell. Navigate with arrow keys just like Excel or Google Sheets. Dramatically faster for bulk data input.

Keyboard-First Workflow

Keep your hands on the keyboard. No mouse clicks needed to move between cells. Perfect for power users and data operators.

Auto-Save on Navigate

When moving up or down, the current cell value is validated and saved automatically. No data loss.

Community & Enterprise

Works on both Odoo Community and Enterprise editions. Only depends on the web module — available in every Odoo installation.
