QShortcut - doesn't work with Qt::Key_Return

[naresh]

Hi there! I'm trying to create shortcuts in my app. Here is some code:

(void) new QShortcut(QKeySequence(Qt::SHIFT + Qt::Key_Enter), this, SLOT(insertNl()));
(void) new QShortcut(QKeySequence(Qt::SHIFT + Qt::Key_Return), this, SLOT(insertNl()));

(void) new QShortcut(QKeySequence(Qt::SHIFT + Qt::Key_Enter), this, SLOT(insertNl()));
(void) new QShortcut(QKeySequence(Qt::SHIFT + Qt::Key_Return), this, SLOT(insertNl()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The problem is that shortcut with Qt::Key_Return doesn't work. Later in code I have event filter

if(obj==input)
if(ev->type()==QEvent::KeyPress)
{
  QKeyEvent *keyEvent=static_cast<QKeyEvent*>(ev);
  if(keyEvent->key()==Qt::Key_Return || keyEvent->key()==Qt::Key_Enter)
  {
    sendMsg();
    return true;
  }
}
return QDialog::eventFilter(obj,ev);

if(obj==input)
if(ev->type()==QEvent::KeyPress)
{
  QKeyEvent *keyEvent=static_cast<QKeyEvent*>(ev);
  if(keyEvent->key()==Qt::Key_Return || keyEvent->key()==Qt::Key_Enter)
  {
    sendMsg();
    return true;
  }
}
return QDialog::eventFilter(obj,ev);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And with eventFilter both keys works. Anyone experienced such problem?

//EDIT
I've found out that shortcut with Qt::Key_Return doesn't work only when I'm focused in QTextEdit. Unfortunetly I need it to work in this QTextEdit. Any ideas how to do that?

QTextEdit uses the return key for its own purposes. You have to catch it before it reaches QTextEdit (using an event filter for example).
