See every field’s real value without leaving the record
Dev Tools brings a Field Inspector, a searchable feature & shortcut reference, and a full inspection audit trail to every Odoo backend screen — so developers stop context-switching to check data or hunt for developer-mode shortcuts.
The problem
Debugging a live Odoo record means toggling developer mode, leaving the page to check field values, and cross-referencing configuration that standard tree and form views never surface. Every context switch adds up across a full day of implementation and support work.
The solution
Dev Tools adds a Field Inspector, a searchable Feature & Shortcut Reference, and a per-user Inspection Log directly inside the Odoo backend — plus a global hotkey that toggles debug mode without touching a menu.
Everything developers need to debug faster
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Field Inspector
Pick a model and record id and read every field’s name, type, label, and value in one screen. Binary fields are skipped automatically and long values are truncated for readability.
Dev Tools Systray
An always-visible systray entry point puts the Field Inspector, Feature Reference, and Inspection Log one click away from any backend screen.
Global Debug Hotkey
A configurable keyboard shortcut toggles developer mode instantly, from anywhere in the backend — no menu required.
Feature & Shortcut Reference
A kanban and list catalog of every action and its keyboard shortcut, each with a plain-language note on how it beats native Odoo dev tools.
Inspection Log
A full audit trail records who inspected which record, on which model, and when — every Field Inspector lookup is logged automatically.
Private Audit History
Regular users see only their own inspection history by default; Dev Tools administrators can see the audit trail for every user.
Two-Tier Access Groups
A dedicated User role gets read-only access to the reference and inspector; an Administrator role can also manage shortcuts and see every user’s audit trail.
Configurable Settings
Turn the Field Inspector and debug hotkey on or off, and set your own keyboard combo, right from the Odoo Settings screen.
Built for Current Odoo
