Web Tree Column Keyboard Resize

This module creates some keyboard shortcuts to allow resizing tree view columns when having some cell in the column focused (in edit mode for that cell / row). This can improve efficiency, since users don't need to reach for the mouse when wanting to resize columns.

The following shortcuts are added:

  • By default, the width is adjusted in steps of 20 pixels per key press.
  • Shift + Down Arrow: Decrease the width of the focused column.
  • Shift + Up Arrow: Increase the width of the focused column.

The changed width of columns is reset back to the original once focusing out of the current row, since this functionality is designed for temporary visibility enhancement during editing sessions and not for permanent layout changes. Users can use the standard mouse drag resizing for permanent width adjustments.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Adds keyboard shortcuts to temporarily resize columns in list (tree) views while editing a cell. Press Shift+Up to widen the focused column and Shift+Down to narrow it, in 20-pixel steps.

This module makes it easier to see the content of a column while you are editing a row in a list view, without reaching for the mouse.

  • When a cell is in edit mode, press Shift + Up Arrow to make the focused column wider, or Shift + Down Arrow to make it narrower. Each key press changes the width by 20 pixels.
  • The change is temporary: the column width returns to its original size once you move focus out of the current row. This is meant for quick visibility while editing, not for permanently changing the layout.
  • For permanent column widths, the usual mouse drag resizing still works.

The module only affects the list (tree) view renderer in the web client. It does not add any new menus, models, reports, or business rules, and it does not change any data. It works purely as a keyboard convenience in the user interface.
