Enter causes cursor movement like in Tab Order

[Santosh Reddy]

As an alternate solution, you can capture the KeyPressEvent, either using the above method or using a event filter and send a tab key event to the parent widget (i.e. converting a enter key event on a widget into a tab key event on the parent widget). This solution will respect the tab order, and is scalable solution, i.e. will work even if you changed tab order, or add more widgets in future.

As always, there are many ways to do a given job

You can also use QWidget::focusNextPrevChild like

void MyDialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
    switch (e->key ()) {
    case Qt::Key_Return:
    case Qt::Key_Enter:
        focusNextPrevChild (true);
        break;
 
    default:
        QDialog::keyPressEvent (e);
    }
}

void MyDialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
    switch (e->key ()) {
    case Qt::Key_Return:
    case Qt::Key_Enter:
        focusNextPrevChild (true);
        break;

    default:
        QDialog::keyPressEvent (e);
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or

void MyDialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
    switch (e->key ()) {
    case Qt::Key_Return:
    case Qt::Key_Enter:
    {
        QKeyEvent* newEvent = new QKeyEvent (QEvent::KeyPress, Qt::Key_Tab, e->modifiers ());
        qApp->postEvent (this, newEvent, 0);
    }
    break;
 
    default:
        QDialog::keyPressEvent (e);
    }
}

void MyDialog::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *e)
{
    switch (e->key ()) {
    case Qt::Key_Return:
    case Qt::Key_Enter:
    {
        QKeyEvent* newEvent = new QKeyEvent (QEvent::KeyPress, Qt::Key_Tab, e->modifiers ());
        qApp->postEvent (this, newEvent, 0);
    }
    break;

    default:
        QDialog::keyPressEvent (e);
    }
}
