## Description

Features

<code>Quick popup
Enter a code and hit Dispatch → the code is “typed” into the active Odoo tab and validated with Enter.

One-click Odoo actions
Handy buttons for common barcode commands recognized by Odoo (e.g., Edit, Discard, Save, Print, Prev, Next, Main Menu).

Options page

    Time between keys (ms) – tune typing speed for compatibility.

    Open Actions by default – keep the actions section open in the popup.

    Close popup after scan – auto-close right after dispatch.

Version-aware
Detects your Odoo version and adapts keyboard events for better reliability.
</code>

How to use

<code>Open your Odoo screen that expects a scan (Inventory / Receipts / POS / Barcode, etc.).

Click the extension icon → type a code → Dispatch.

Odoo reacts as if a physical scanner sent the code.
</code>

Tip: Place the cursor in the Odoo scan field (or screen) for instant pickup.
Pro tip: trigger a test from the console

Open the Odoo page console and run:

<code>__odoo_barcode_test("123456")
</code>

This will simulate typing the code and pressing Enter, just like the popup.

Troubleshooting

<code>Nothing happens after Dispatch

    Reload the Odoo tab after loading/updating the extension.

    Check the extension site permissions (about:addons → your add-on → Permissions).

    If using Private Browsing, allow the extension there.

Typing is slow → lower Time between keys in Options.

A specific Odoo view ignores the scan → keep the cursor in the scan area or increase the delay slightly.
</code>

Permissions (why they’re needed)

<code>storage – saves your local options (delay, UI preferences).

activeTab / tabs / scripting – sends the simulated scan to the active Odoo tab and ensures the page script is initialized.

Site access – recommended to restrict to your Odoo domain(s) for minimum scope.
</code>

Privacy

<code>No data collection.

No third-party requests; only a local call to your Odoo (/web/webclient/version_info) to detect version.

Options are stored locally via storage.local.
</code>

Limitations

<code>Does not control USB/HID hardware; it uses keyboard events only.

Works on regular HTTP(S) pages (not on about: pages, the built-in PDF viewer, etc.).

Not affiliated with Odoo S.A.
</code>

Support

When reporting an issue, please include your Odoo version and which screen you used (Inventory → Barcode, POS, Receipts, etc.), plus what happened after Dispatch.
