Trying to set shortcut

hi,
i'd like to have shortcuts to change between the tabs of a tabwidget. after some searching through the fine manual and some posts i came up with:

Code:

---

page1 = new QAction(this);
page1->setShortcut(QKeySequence(tr("Ctrl+F1")));
connect(page1, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(openPage1()));

---

which i hope will call

Code:

---

void MainWindow::openPage1() {
	tabWidget->setCurrentIndex(0);
}

---

(and obviously two other, similar actions and functions for the other two tabs.

nothing happens. i also tried to set the translation to Strg+F1 in linguist as i am using the app in german. Where am i going wrong?

Better would be something like this !!

Code:

---

QSignalMapper *signalMapper = new QSignalMapper(this); 
    for( int index=0; index < tabWidget->count(); ++index ){
        QShortcut *shortcut  =new QShortcut( QKeySequence(QString("Ctrl+F%1").arg( index +1 ) ), this );
 
        connect( shortcut, SIGNAL(activated() ), signalMapper, SLOT( map() ) );
        signalMapper->setMapping( shortcut, index );
     }
     connect( signalMapper, SIGNAL(mapped( int )), 
               tabWidget, SLOT(setCurrentIndex( int )) );

thank you, that was what it needed. Hadn't seen that there is a QShortcut as well.
now i can dub my app 1.0 PRE 1 :))
