top level keyPressEvent

[mhoover]

I have some buttons with arrow pictures inside a QMainWindow. I would also like to be able to capture keyboard arrow events.

The problem is when other widgets receive keyboard focus, they capture the keyboard events before they get to QMainWindow::keyPressEvent().

Is there some kind of top level signal or virtual function I can override to notify my class when an arrow key is pressed?

I've seen some similar posts, but I want to make sure on this. I don't want to subclass all the widgets in my window so they pass their key events up the hierarchy.

Thanks for your help!

Install an event filter on the child widgets you wish to intercept events from.
