    Default action with shortcut triggers in parent

    Hi,

    This is in Python 5.12, but the same applies to C++. I am writing a plugin for an C++ application that embeds python and PySide.
    All is working well, except when I register actions with a shortcut in my QTableView widget (tableview->addAction()), then the shortcut triggers in the parent application, rather than in my tableview. I have tried Qt::ShortcutContext, but they dont make a difference.


    I can hack up something with an eventFilter, but certainly there must be a better way?


    edit: ok, it only happens if a certain widget of the parent application has focus. so i am guessing they are doing funky stuff in event listeners or something and my only choice is to step down on that level too.

    How are you creating que QAction?

    The QWidget::addAction(QAction *action) documentation says that "The ownership of action is not transferred to this QWidget"

    Sincerely
