Re: [PyQt] QLineEdit vs. menu keyboard shortcuts

[Nathan Weston]

from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
import sys
class Foo(QLineEdit):
     def keyPressEvent(self, event):
         print 'Foo keyPress', event.key(); sys.stdout.flush()
         QLineEdit.keyPressEvent(self, event)

app = QApplication([])
window = QMainWindow()
f = Foo()
window.setCentralWidget(f)
window.show()

def do_action():
     print 'action'; sys.stdout.flush()
action1 = QAction('Action 1', f, triggered=do_action)
action1.setShortcut(Qt.CTRL + Qt.Key_Z)
action1.setShortcutContext(Qt.WidgetShortcut)

For actions that should work all over the mainwindow, you should use
Qt.WidgetWithChildren here.


Oops, that line was an artifact of an earlier experiment. I actually 
tried every possible value for shortcutContext, none of them seem to 
make a difference.
