Just to beat a dead horse a bit more, keyboard event processing is a pretty
common problem for games (in my youth I spent a long time trying to develop
games), so SDL has a custom event model that handles this (oh the things I
could have done if I had SDL in my day)... I have no idea if there is a way
to do something like this in pure Qt...
http://wiki.gamedev.net/index.php/SDL:Tutorials:Keyboard_Input_using_an_Event_Loop
if you grab the example source from there you can extract and then build and
run it on an Ubuntu system like:
aptitude install libsdl-dev
g++ $(pkg-config --cflags sdl) $(pkg-config --libs-only-l sdl) -o
SDL_Keyboard SDL_Keyboard.c
./SDL_Keyboard
PRESSED: w
RELEASED: w
PRESSED: w
RELEASED: w
PRESSED: left shift
RELEASED: left shift
PRESSED: left shift
PRESSED: LSHIFT w
RELEASED: LSHIFT w
RELEASED: left shift
You can see how the above corresponds to Mouse click/release or Midi Note
on/off....
