Features for desktop computers:

  • Keyboard shortcuts for easier navigation, using Alt + Shift + [NUM] combination instead of just Alt + [NUM] to avoid conflict with Firefox Tab switching. Standard Odoo keyboard hotkeys changed to be more intuitive or accessible by fingers of one hand. F.x. Alt + S for Save
  • Autofocus on search menu box when opening the app menu
  • When the chatter is on the side part, the document viewer fills that part for side-by-side reading instead of full screen. You can still put it on full width preview clicking on the new maximize button.
  • When the user chooses to send a public message the color of the composer is different from the one when the message is an internal log.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 20.0

Turns the Odoo web client into a responsive interface: a fullscreen app menu with search, mobile-friendly buttons and forms, sticky headers, and a per-user option to land on the home dashboard after login.

This module changes how the Odoo backend looks and behaves, mainly on small screens and for the app menu.

  • The app menu becomes a fullscreen grid of app icons with a search bar. Users can search apps and submenus and move through results with the arrow keys, Tab, Home/End and Enter.
  • Each user chooses their search style (Canonical, Fuse or Command Palette) and the menu theme (Milk or Community) from a palette button in the top bar, which opens an "Apps Menu Preferences" popup.
  • A "Redirect to Home" option appears in the user's preferences. When ticked, the user lands on the home dashboard after signing in instead of the last app; it is automatically unticked when a default action is set on the user.
  • On mobile, control panel buttons show icons to save space, chatter buttons (Send message, Log note, Activity) become compact, and form inputs are bigger in edit mode.
  • List views get a sticky header and footer, form views a sticky status bar, and checkboxes are larger.
  • The file viewer adapts its size to the chatter and can be minimized when the chatter is open.
  • Keyboard shortcuts are added for the home menu and chatter actions.

It touches the user settings (res.users) and the session information (ir.http), and adjusts the web client, navbar, burger menu, command palette, control panel, file viewer and chatter screens.
