POS Keyboard Shortcuts

Turn the Point of Sale into a keyboard-first experience. Configurable, per-register hotkeys drive search, navigation, order lines and payment — so cashiers fly through orders without ever reaching for the mouse.

Per-Register Hotkeys In-POS Cheat Sheet Alt-Based Defaults

Overview

What This Module Does

Every POS action maps to a key combo you can change from the Point of Sale configuration form. Defaults are sensible Alt-based combos that never clash with the POS number-buffer or barcode scanner, and a built-in cheat sheet (Alt+H) lists every active shortcut for the current screen — perfect for training cashiers.

⌨

Keyboard-First POS

Run the whole sale from the keyboard — search, switch screens, edit lines and take payment without touching the mouse.

🎛

Per-Register Bindings

Each Point of Sale gets its own set of bindings — tune the keys per shop or register, independently of every other.

❓

Built-In Cheat Sheet

Press Alt+H to pop a live cheat sheet of every active shortcut for the current screen — zero memorisation required.

Coverage

Shortcut Catalog

Twenty-five actions across four screen scopes — global shortcuts work anywhere, the rest are scoped to the screen they belong to so the same combo can be reused safely.

Module Features

Built on Odoo's native hotkey service — fast, safe, and configurable without a line of code.

Fully Configurable

Remap any action to any key combo right from the POS configuration form — no developer required.

No Conflicts

Alt-based defaults stay clear of the POS number-buffer and barcode scanner — they never fight for the same key.

Input-Aware

Shortcuts auto-ignore typing inside search / input fields and respect any open dialog — no accidental triggers.

Screen-Scoped

Each shortcut is scoped to its screen, so a combo can be safely reused across screens that are never open at once.

Live Cheat Sheet

Alt+H opens an overlay listing every active shortcut for the screen you're on — the fastest way to onboard staff.

Validated & Resettable

Duplicate and invalid keys are rejected on save, and a one-click "Reset to defaults" restores the original set.

Guide

How To Use

From install to keyboard-driven checkout in three quick steps.

1. Open POS Settings

Go to Point of Sale → Configuration → Settings, pick a register, and find the Keyboard Shortcuts section.

2. Tune Your Keys

Keep the Alt-based defaults or remap any action to your own combo. Invalid or duplicate keys are caught the moment you save.

3. Open POS & Press Alt+H

Launch the session, hit Alt+H any time to see the live cheat sheet, and run the whole sale straight from the keyboard.

Why It Matters

Highlights

Faster checkout, fewer clicks

Hands stay on the keyboard from the first scan to the final receipt. For high-volume tills, shaving a second off every line adds up to real throughput at the counter.

Configured per register

Every Point of Sale carries its own bindings, so each shop or station can follow the habits of the staff who run it — no shared global config to fight over.

Safe by design

Built on Odoo's native hotkey service: shortcuts ignore typing in inputs, respect open dialogs, and stay clear of the number-buffer and scanner — no surprises at the till.

Effortless onboarding

New cashiers don't need to memorise anything — Alt+H shows the live cheat sheet for the current screen, turning the shortcuts into self-documenting muscle memory.
