Introduced by 5bb64d40d0. Before doing
anything we should first ensure that the quantity keypress event targets
body (and that it is a number, but that's less important). Before this
we didn't do that and thus the _display_no_edit_mode_warning was given
when people where just typing in the associated thread of a picking.

When scanning items with a device like the Symbol MC3200 you are
presented with the Kanban view because of it's limited resolution.
In this view it is not possible to quickly set the quantity of scanned
products. Ideally users just want to scan the barcode, input the
quantity and repeat without having to click on virtual buttons on the
usually less than ideal touchscreen.
This implements a way for users to immediately start typing numbers
representing a quantity after scanning a barcode. The quantity will be
set on the specified m2x_field.quantity_field of the record associated
to the last scanned barcode. Because KanbanRecords are not editable
without opening a new view window.prompt is used. It will create an easy
to use native dialog of whatever device is being used. It also avoids us
having to implement a custom input field which would have to handle
keypress events like numbers, backspace, delete, etc.
We want to properly support devices like the Symbol MC3200. This is a
handheld computer running a modern operating system like Android or
Windows with an integrated barcode scanner. After installation of a
modern web browser and configuration of the integrated barcode scanner
Odoo works as well as it does anywhere else.
The main issue with these types of devices is that the displays (and
their resolution) are very small (3" @ 320x320 for Symbol
MC3200). Because of this a lot of tree views become awkward to use
because they require vertical scrolling. A Kanban view however scales
nicely on these displays.
This implements Kanban views for both the picking.form view and the
stock.inventory form view because those are the views typically used
when using a barcode scanner.
Doing this alone is not enough, because the barcodes module does not
work with Kanban views. Small changes where made to
barcodes.FormViewBarcodeHandler to make it work with both List views and
Kanban views.
How great is it to get Odoo (almost) 9.0 (almost) translated?

Since the method must return a deferred, resolve it with true to proceed with onchange
and with false to prevent the onchange. Deferred failure is not an option.
Now that most refactoring has been merged
It is better to have red a great work of another culture in translation than never to have read it at all.

Barcodes are detected by catching keypresses. When a keypress is not
part of a barcode, it is 'released' by forging a keypress event.
For security reasons, a non-native keypress doesn't trigger the native
input mechanism. So in order to make both barcode-scanning and manual
keypresses work in a field, it is necessary to have a handler listen
to the 'false' keypresses and simulate the native input behaviour.
For a model to use it, it must :
- Inherit barcodes.barcode_events_mixin and override on_barcode_scanned(self, barcode)
- Add <field name=barcode_scanned widget=barcode_handler/> to each form view that
should listen to barcode events and trigger on_barcode_scanned.
The method on_barcode_scanned works just like an onchange.
