AI-generated from the code · Odoo 16.0

Lets users hide or show selected fields on any Odoo screen by pressing the "p" key, without changing any data or settings.

This module adds a small keyboard shortcut to the Odoo web interface. When a page contains elements marked with the class web-hide-field, pressing the "p" key toggles their visibility: fields that are visible become hidden, and fields that were hidden become visible again.

  • The shortcut works on any screen where such marked elements exist, including list views where table cells and their column headers are hidden together.
  • The original display style of each element is remembered, so when you press "p" again the field returns exactly as it was before.
  • The module runs continuously in the background and also applies the hiding to newly loaded elements, so fields that appear after scrolling or refreshing a view are handled too.
  • It does not add menus, buttons, reports, server-side rules, or automatic checks; it only changes what is shown on screen for the current user.
  • No data is modified, saved, or sent to the server, and the effect is purely visual and temporary.

The module depends on base and product, but the code itself does not define any new models or business logic. It only loads a JavaScript asset into the common web assets.
