Hi guys, To clarify, I need to log keys pressed in QXTextArea excluding state-preserving ones (cursors, function keys, etc.). Initially I wanted to reject some keys based on their codes. That however seems impossible. I don't know how to use multiple events at a time as mentioned by Alex. I think I will be simply checking the text length from the XQTextArea and logging the 'keyCode' only if the length has changed. Let me know you think there is a better way.
Regarding good cross-browser solution: I did some testing with FF 1.5 and IE 6. Both browsers Event objects support 'keyCode' and 'charCode' properties (those two let you tell letters from functional keys). However, 'keypress' events fired by state-preserving keys are "digested" by IE (they don't make it to the document). You can still get the 'keyCode' and 'charCode' using 'keydown' or 'keyup' events, but then it's not possible to capture combinations of keys (e.g. SHIFT+S). At least not in an easy way.
