how to catch Shift + Left arrow? [Soved]

How in the world do I catch a keypress event for when the user presses Shift + left arrow?

Override keyPressEvent for your widget and test for:

if (keyEvent->modifiers().testFlag(Qt::ShiftModifier) &&  keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Left)
{
...
}

if (keyEvent->modifiers().testFlag(Qt::ShiftModifier) &&  keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Left)
{
...
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
