QKeyEvent *ke = ...
QString txt;

if(ke->         


        

Answer 1

Trying to capture a QKeySequence in keyPressEvent might not work as expect. And I found a solution:

//  || event->type()== QEvent::ShortcutOverride is the key point
if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress || event->type()== QEvent::ShortcutOverride)
{
    QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
    if (keyEvent->matches(QKeySequence::Save))
    {
        // Do save
    }
}

I hope that helps someone. : )
