in the pyside docs here is what is said about using TAB for both the default behavior (focusing on buttons) and capturing the keypress; https://deptinfo-ensip.univ-poitiers.fr/ENS/pyside-docs/PySide/QtGui/QWidget.html
I’m betting someone out there has reimplemented the QWidget.event method DOCS: Widgets that accept keyboard input need to reimplement a few more event handlers: PySide.QtGui.QWidget.keyPressEvent() <https://deptinfo-ensip.univ-poitiers.fr/ENS/pyside-docs/PySide/QtGui/QWidget.html#PySide.QtGui.PySide.QtGui.QWidget.keyPressEvent> is called whenever a key is pressed, and again when a key has been held down long enough for it to auto-repeat. The Tab and Shift+Tab keys are only passed to the widget if they are not used by the focus-change mechanisms. To force those keys to be processed by your widget, you must reimplement QWidget.event() .
