    Default how to customize edit key in QTableView?

    Hi, everyone.
    How to customize a edit key in QTableView?

    I use a customized delegate to edit data in model. The cell editor can be triggered by a way defined by setEditTriggers ( EditTriggers ).
    But I don't find a way to define custom key, such an enter or some other key. There are only 7 trigger types, but no one is what I need.

    Thank you.

    Default Re: how to customize edit key in QTableView?

    Use a QShortcut, connect the activated() signal to a slot, and call the view's edit() slot. Something like:
    Qt Code:
    1. class Table: public QTableView
    2. {
    3. Q_OBJECT
    4. public:
    5. Table(QWidget *p = 0): QTableView(p) {
    6. QShortcut *s = new QShortcut(QKeySequence(tr("Ctrl+;")), this);
    7. connect(s, SIGNAL(activated()), SLOT(editActivated()));
    8. }
    9. private slots:
    10. void editActivated() {
    11. edit(currentIndex());
    12. }
    13. };
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    If you intercept Enter to start and edit you may lose it as a way to end the edit as it is by default.
