    Question whatsThis hotkeys for a Mac?

    Qt Creator 1.2.94
    Qt 4.6.0 (32 bit)
    Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard)
    Macbook Pro

    I have defined the whatsThis property of a QPushButton. The help says that Shift+F1 is the typical set of keystrokes used to invoke the whatsThis help if the focus is on the relevant widget in the application. For a Macbook, however, the Shift+F1 key is reserved (by default) for another operation. Does anyone know what keystrokes I can press on a Mackbook to show the whatsThis content for a particular widget without having to explicitly remap my keyboard?

    Thanks!

    There is no concept of whats this help on a mac. But you can use
    Qt Code:
    1. QAction * QWhatsThis::createAction ( QObject * parent = 0 ) [static]
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    to create you an action for adding to the menubar to trigger whats this.
    It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice.

  3. The following user says thank you to axeljaeger for this useful post:
