Sorry JD2000, I probably didn't state the problem clearly.

The pushbutton works fine. I just want it clicked when the Enter key is hit.
This is automatic on the default button in a dialog, but not a mainwindow.

Here is what I have tried but it does nothing:

Qt Code: 
  1. ui->pbSave->installEventFilter(this);
  2.  
  3. bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *object, QEvent *event)
  4.  {
  5.      if (object == ui->pbSave && event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) {
  6.          QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
  7.          if (keyEvent->key() == Qt::Key_Enter) {
  8.              ui->pbSave->click();
  9.              return true;
  10.          } else
  11.              return false;
  12.      }
  13.      return false;
  14.  }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I am probably not understanding the event filter doc correctly.
Any help appreciated.
