Qt Capture windows events outside the application

[aamer4yu]

I have a Qt application in which i would like to listen to the event <Ctrl + R> even if the application is not focussed i.e, even if the user is using some other application, can someone tell me how this can be done

I guess you will need system level hooks. This will be dependant on OS

I think the QxtGlobalShortcut is what i need, thanks a lot for pointing it out to me
