List Arrow Navigation
Move through Odoo list views with arrow keys, like a spreadsheet.
Overview
List Arrow Navigation makes Odoo's editable list views behave like a spreadsheet. Instead of clicking each cell, your team moves through rows and fields with the keyboard — far quicker for anyone entering data in bulk.
Built by TechUltra Solutions, the module handles arrow keys with care. Up and Down move between rows in the same column, Enter drops to the next row, and Tab or Shift+Tab steps through editable fields. Left and Right keep working normally inside text inputs and only move to the next cell when the cursor reaches the start or end.
The module works in editable list views across the Odoo backend wherever inline data entry is supported. There is nothing to configure — once installed, the keyboard navigation is active automatically.
Key features
-
Spreadsheet-style keyboard navigation
Move through Odoo editable list views with the keyboard, the way you would in a spreadsheet, instead of clicking each cell.
-
Up and Down row navigation
The Up and Down arrow keys move between rows while staying in the same column, so you can run down a single field quickly.
-
Smart Left and Right handling
Left and Right arrows work normally inside inputs and text areas. They only move to the next cell when the cursor reaches the start or end of the text.
-
Enter moves to the next row
Pressing Enter jumps down to the next row, which speeds up entering values column by column.
-
Tab and Shift+Tab between fields
Tab steps forward through editable fields and rows; Shift+Tab steps back — a familiar pattern for fast data entry.
-
Works across the backend
The navigation applies in editable list views throughout the Odoo backend wherever inline data entry is supported.
-
Zero configuration
There is nothing to set up. Once the module is installed, the keyboard navigation is active automatically in supported list views.
