    Default TableView keypress event

    Hi, everyone!
    I wanna ask the solution for the situation:

    My project has MainWindow Class and tableView and textEdit
    (last two were created through the Designer in mainwindow.ui).

    I need to do some action when shortcut pressed in tableView.
    I've got right reaction through the
    Qt Code:
    1. bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *watched, QEvent *event)
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    here is the code:
    Qt Code:
    1. ...
    2. // in MainWindow constructor
    3. ui->tableView->installEventFilter(this);
    4. ...
    5.  
    6. bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *watched, QEvent *event)
    7. {
    8. if(watched == ui->tableView && event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress){
    9. QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
    10. qDebug()<<keyEvent->key();// DO SOMETHING
    11. }
    12. return QWidget::eventFilter(watched, event);
    13. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    But maybe there is a simpler solution? How to catch keypress in tableView?

    Cause i've created tableView in *.ui i can't simple use keyPressEvent for tableView only for MainWindow (it doesn't recognize tableView or textEdit).

    Thank's in advance.

    Create your own subclass of QTableView with whatever custom behaviour you want. Let's call it MyTableView, defined in mytableview.h and implemented in mytableview.cpp.
    In the main window UI right-click the QTableView and select "Promote to..."
    Provide the promoted class name "MyTableView", and the header file "mytableview.h".
    Click Add.

    The ui compiler should use your custom class name and header file in the generated code.
