0003914: Improve keyboard integration
Besides that tinapos was originally designed for touch screens, there is a lot of non touch screens machines working on point of sales.
For those systems, the keyboard is the prime interface though the pos system.
Improving the keyboard integration could assign 'Fx' keys to the menus and options, 'esc' to close the subwindows and so.
For instance, i could imagine an keyboard option page where the admin user could assign in a free way a key for each option. And tinapos could come with a initial set of already assigned keys.

An example:
From the main window you press F6 to go to the 'Inventory' option (sales is #1 and inventory is the #6 option, and so on).
Then press 1 for 'Maintenance' (2 for 'Information')
Then press 1 for 'Products' (3 for 'Taxes')
Or, in the 'keyboard option' page (inside 'configuration') you could assign ctrl + p to go to 'Products' directly.

That would be great. Even if you only integrate that into the main sales window. Having for example Crtl-F to enter the catalog would be a good time saver. And on the payments window to use F for free could save a lot of mouse-trips. Or enter assigned to execute on the windows where you need to search.

More keyboard shortcuts are badly needed.
