Keyboard

Odoo Dashboards has no global shortcuts of its own. Keys work inside the control that has the focus.

Caution

There is no Ctrl+S. Save a widget with the Save & Preview button. Leaving the builder with the back arrow, or closing the tab, drops unsaved changes without asking.

Field pickers in the builder

The boxes for fields, such as a column’s Field, Dimension, Measure, Group By and Order By:

Key	What it does
Typing	Narrows the list to matching fields
↓ / ↑	Moves the highlight through the list
Enter	Picks the highlighted field. With nothing highlighted, it uses what you typed, so you can enter an expression such as SUM(quantity)
Esc	Closes the list without changing the field
Clicking away	Keeps what you typed

In Group By and Order By, Enter adds what you typed as another field.

Default Filter Value

Key	What it does
↓	Opens the list of values
↓ / ↑	Moves the highlight
Enter	Picks the highlighted value, or adds what you typed when nothing is highlighted
Esc	Closes the list

Builder windows

Window	Keys
Create Custom Field / Edit Custom Field	Esc closes it, asking first if you changed something. Enter in Numeric Value adds the number to the expression.
Column Settings	Esc closes it without applying.
Build joined data source	Enter in a column’s new name finishes renaming it.
Create New Dashboard, Dashboard Settings, Global Filters Configuration	No keys: close them with × or Cancel.

AI chat boxes

In Design it with AI, the AI visualization’s chat, Refine with AI and the Analyst:

Key	What it does
Enter	Sends the message
Shift+Enter	Starts a new line

Sending never changes a widget by itself. See AI overview.

Sticky notes

The note editor in the builder, and the note on the dashboard, take your browser’s usual text shortcuts: Ctrl+B for bold and Ctrl+I for italic (Cmd on a Mac). On the dashboard, the note saves when you click outside it.

Filters on a dashboard

Key	What it does
Esc	Closes the open filter popover, the All filters window, or the value list on top of it (the topmost first)
Typing in a number filter	Applies the number shortly after you stop typing

Slideshow

After Present (slideshow):

Key	What it does
→ or Space	Next slide
←	Previous slide
Esc	Leaves the slideshow

The keys don’t act while the Autoplay interval list has the focus, so you can change it with the arrow keys. See Layout and presenting.
