Copy/Paste in TableView

[bronte]

Hi all,

I am using a model/view/delegate and I subclass QTableView to reimplement keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event) to catch ctrl-c and ctrl-v. I use the clipboard to copy the text at the currentIndex() and paste the results with model->setData(..). The method looks like this:

void TableViewEx::keyPressEvent( QKeyEvent *event )
{
    if (event->key() == Qt::Key_C && event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier) {
 
          QApplication::clipboard()->setText( this->currentIndex().data().toString() );
 
    }
    else if (event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier && event->key() == Qt::Key_P) {
 
	  model()->setData( currentIndex(), QApplication::clipboard()->text() );
 
    }
    else {
 
        QTableView::keyPressEvent(event);
 
    }
}

void TableViewEx::keyPressEvent( QKeyEvent *event )
{
    if (event->key() == Qt::Key_C && event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier) {

          QApplication::clipboard()->setText( this->currentIndex().data().toString() );

    }
    else if (event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier && event->key() == Qt::Key_P) {

	  model()->setData( currentIndex(), QApplication::clipboard()->text() );

    }
    else {

        QTableView::keyPressEvent(event);

    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The problem I'm having is that pasting text into a table-cell does not occur unless I use the Shift key also [CTRL-Shift-P].

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Maybe the CTRL+P combination is already assigned somewhere? Have you tried using CTRL+V?

Hi,

After changing keyPressEvent(..) to catch CTRL+V,

else if (event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier && event->key() == Qt::Key_V)

copy/paste works as expected.

As it turns out, the original post used Qt::Key_P which is a post-midnight coding bug. Using that catch, paste works using CTRL+P.

Thanks.
