How to monitor global key presses

[vanillac]

There is the eventfilter which will only process key presses if its widget has the keyboard's focus. Is there any cross-platform way to record key presses with Qt? I have found one less than ideal solution, setting global hotkeys with libqxt or uglobalhotkey.

Global as in application wide or system wide?

System wide. I want to monitor more than a few shortcuts however so a global shortcut with one of those two libraries is not ideal (and they aren't working for me either).

[anda_skoa]

That is system dependent.
You need to find the respective native API.
