Mobile Barcode Scanner

This module adds a floating camera button on all backend pages. When clicked, it opens a QR/barcode scanner using the device's camera (mobile or desktop). Scanned codes are inserted into the currently focused input field.

Features

• Floating button (📷) appears on every page – no need to navigate to a special screen.
• Works on mobile phones (Android, iOS) and desktop computers with a webcam.
• Supports both QR codes and 1D barcodes (EAN-13, Code 128, etc.).
• Scanned value is automatically inserted into the active text field (input or textarea).
• If no field is focused, the module saves the scanned code and prompts to click into any field to paste it.
• Uses the lightweight html5-qrcode library.
