Copy text from QTableView

[Edder]

Hi,

I try to copy selected data from a qtableview to clipboard, seperated with '\t' for columns and '\n' for rows.
Its working just fine, but only when I select numbers, if I select text its screwed up and only the last item shows on pasting.

I've overridden the keyPressEvent:

void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
	if (event->matches(QKeySequence::Copy))
	{
		QAbstractItemModel *abmodel = this->model();
		QItemSelectionModel *model = this->selectionModel();
		QModelIndexList list = model->selectedIndexes();
 
		qSort(list);
 
		if(list.size() < 1)
			return;
 
		QString copy_table;
		QModelIndex last = list.last();
		QModelIndex previous = list.first();
 
		list.removeFirst();
 
		for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
		{
			QVariant data = abmodel->data(previous);
			QString text = data.toString();
			QModelIndex index = list.at(i);
			copy_table.append(text);
 
			if(index.row() != previous.row())
				copy_table.append('\n');
			else
				copy_table.append('\t');
			previous = index;
		}
 
		copy_table.append(abmodel->data(list.last()).toString());
		copy_table.append('\n');
 
		QClipboard *clipboard = QApplication::clipboard();
		clipboard->setText(copy_table);
	}
	QTableView::keyPressEvent(event);
};

void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
{
	if (event->matches(QKeySequence::Copy))
	{
		QAbstractItemModel *abmodel = this->model();
		QItemSelectionModel *model = this->selectionModel();
		QModelIndexList list = model->selectedIndexes();

		qSort(list);

		if(list.size() < 1)
			return;

		QString copy_table;
		QModelIndex last = list.last();
		QModelIndex previous = list.first();

		list.removeFirst();

		for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
		{
			QVariant data = abmodel->data(previous);
			QString text = data.toString();
			QModelIndex index = list.at(i);
			copy_table.append(text);

			if(index.row() != previous.row())
				copy_table.append('\n');
			else
				copy_table.append('\t');
			previous = index;
		}

		copy_table.append(abmodel->data(list.last()).toString());
		copy_table.append('\n');

		QClipboard *clipboard = QApplication::clipboard();
		clipboard->setText(copy_table);
	}
	QTableView::keyPressEvent(event);
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And the QString copy_table holds the correct text, but it isnt set correctly to the clipboard.

To clarify
Works:

230	26	26
303	26	26
528	17	17

230	26	26
303	26	26
528	17	17

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Doesnt Work:

4602	4601	Orgrimmar Grunt
374	4639	Southsea Brigand
4638	4640	Southsea Cutthroat

4602	4601	Orgrimmar Grunt
374	4639	Southsea Brigand
4638	4640	Southsea Cutthroat

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In this case, only "Southsea Cutthroat" will be the content of the clipboard.
And I really dont know why, somebody knows a solution for this?

Got it!

Something is happening with the clipboard in the QTableView::keyPressEvent if its a Copy Keysequence.

Adding a:

else
	QTableView::keyPressEvent(event);

else
	QTableView::keyPressEvent(event);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

at the end, so the copy sequence doesnt get forwarded to the qtableview keypressevent, resolved the problem.

Still I'm curios, what happens with text at the keypressevent that doesnt happen with numbers?
