QTabWidget: Shortcuts & Clicks

[youkai]

Yes, I have. An application-wide context should do it. But it doesn't work. I'm a little bit confused about using custom shortcuts or actions.

Is it sufficient to store a list of actions in the custom QTabWidget and add them in the constructor like this?

MyTabWidget::MyTabWidget(QWidget *parent): QTabWidget(parent) {
  _actions.append(new QAction(this));
  _actions.last()->setShortcut(Qt::Key_F1);
  _actions.last()->setShortcutContext(Qt::ApplicationShortcut);
  connect(_actions.last(), SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(doSomething()));
}
 
void MyTabWidget::doSomething() {
  ...
}

MyTabWidget::MyTabWidget(QWidget *parent): QTabWidget(parent) {
  _actions.append(new QAction(this));
  _actions.last()->setShortcut(Qt::Key_F1);
  _actions.last()->setShortcutContext(Qt::ApplicationShortcut);
  connect(_actions.last(), SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(doSomething()));
}

void MyTabWidget::doSomething() {
  ...
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

• Will "doSomething()" be executed if I hit F1 and the tabwidget has no focus?
• Will a shortcut event be triggered to the tabwidget?
• Should I use QShortcut instead of QAction?
