Summary0020972: Allow rapid quantity entry using keyboards
DescriptionCurrently, if the user wants to change the quantity of a product to 5 (that was just scanned for example), the user has to do the following:

5 and then the QUANTITY button on the onscreen keyboard
QUANTITY button, then 5, then Enter on the onscreen keyboard

However, for keyboard users, there is no fast way to do so. If they are not using a touch screen, they will need to use a mouse to click the QUANTITY button. Even worse, a real keyboard Enter does not submit the value that is shown in the field, so QUANTITY, 5 (keyboard), Enter (Keyboard) does not work. This is a productivity killer.
Steps To ReproduceUse physical keyboard, type 5
Hit enter --> UPC code is entered (not nice)

Use onscreen keyboard, tap QUANTITY
Use physical keyboard, type 5
Hit enter --> UPC code is entered (not nice)
Proposed Solution1) Make sure Enter on the real keyboard does the same as Enter on the onscreen keyboard
2) By default, when a user does (number) + enter, this should change the quantity of the selected line item. Currently it tries to enter a UPC code. This last action is less common and a user can easily do: UPC/EAN button, number, enter.

It has been implemented this way: number + (enter) is always a barcode search, the reason is that barcode scanners always type the barcode followed by a return carriage.

Any of the proposed solutions will make barcode scanner show an strange behaviour.

To implement this behaviour proposed we need to distinguish when an amount entered is a barcode and when is a quantity or an amount.
