Move to the next field by enter instead TAB (quick data entry)

[norber...@multimageweb.com]

hi,

i got from potential customer a requirement.

1. They want move to the next field simple by ENTER instead TAB.  

2. use Shift+Enter for info window record selection 

3. Save and Create new line on a specific field by simple enter. (eg window customisation should have condition "save and create by enter = 'Y'"

example pattern 

we have 10 visible columns  col1. seq col2 product search col3 Qty - user will create line, select product by code(enter), type qty (enter, move to the next new line)

Their orders has approx 150 lines in peak, they afraid move to the next field by TAB will be slow. 

We don't want to create new form or window soon make idempiere data entry better.

any idea ?

Hi Norbert,
We made It with a rule. So it's Easy to implement.
We used for barcode input.
Scan product then Scan qty and automatically go to New line
Now it's late ..
I'll write You back ASAP..

Marco, your idea is for barcode scan script programming. Not seem to be what Norbert wanted which is keyboard keys.

1. They want move to the next field simple by ENTER instead TAB.  

Do you mean on a specific window ..or everywhere ?

if everywhere . for me desn't make sense..

What's the purpose for this ? ( maybe the come from IBM AS400/iseries so they are used to do in this way... ..

2. use Shift+Enter for info window record selection 

Do you mean single select (ctrl+space) or all records ?

3. Save and Create new line on a specific field by simple enter. (eg window customisation should have condition "save and create by enter = 'Y'"

get a look at this rule : 

RULE 

import org.adempiere.webui.adwindow.ADWindowContent.ADWindowVlayout;

import org.adempiere.webui.adwindow.AbstractADWindowContent;

import org.adempiere.webui.session.SessionManager;

import org.compiere.util.Env;

import org.compiere.util.DB;

import org.compiere.util.Util;

import java.math.*;

import java.sql.Timestamp;

import java.util.Calendar;

import java.util.Date;

if((A_Tab.getValue("M_Product_ID") != null)  ) {

   ADWindowVlayout pop = ((ADWindowVlayout)SessionManager.getAppDesktop().getActiveWindow());

   f = pop.getClass().getDeclaredField("content");

   f.setAccessible(true);

   AbstractADWindowContent content = (AbstractADWindowContent)f.get(pop);

  A_Tab.setValue("LIT_Barcode", ""); 

   content.onSaveCreate();

}
