You can install an event filter on QApplication, and catch the key hit events.

I just code it like this：
QCoreApplication *app = new QCoreApplication (argc, argv);
KeyBoardEvent kvt;
qApp->installEventFilter(&kvt);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyBoadEvent:
class KeyBoardEventublic QObject
{
public :
KeyBoardEvent()
{

}
bool eventFilter(QObject *o, QEvent *event)
{

qDebug()<<"sdfs";



}
bool event(QEvent *event)
{

qDebug()<<"sdfs";



return true;

}

~KeyBoardEvent()
{

}
void run()
{


}
};

just print a "sdfs" one time i hit any key but nothing hanppend

my mistake this will not work for QCoreApplication. (as nothing will send key event to QCoreApplication)

You need to read stdin explicitly using C / C++ calls fscanf(), cin directly from main (before entering event loop), or write a console reader thread (inherit QThread) and read the stdin in the thread and do the required.
