No, this is just a feature of QT we weren't aware of and so didn't
prepare for. Actually, like all keyboard use of the player, this
really doesn't work so hot because the mouse cursor has to be in the
player before it works, a bizarre UI that I'm sure violates all of the
style guides (it's vaguely reminiscent of the obsolete "pointer focus"
policy used on ancient workstations).
My recommendation would be just be to un-document this particular
feature of QT, at least until we come up with some sensible way to
assign keyboard focus to players (and provide some indication to the
user that this has occured). Suggestions for how to do this
welcome...
