    Can I do a "Keyboard Hook"(I don't know if it's the right expression) multiplataform? If yes, please, show me what is the way.

      Instead of describing what you think is the solution, try to describe your actual problem. What are you trying to achieve?

        I need to capture some keyboard events, and the application will be on the notify area, or like a icon on the task bar, but I need to run the same application on linux and windows, is there any way to do this? Say, do a multiplatform "Keyboard Hook"? I'm talking about keybord hooks but I don't know if this is the right thing to do.

          You're still not describing your problem. Do these keys need to be captured system wide, or only within your application?

            When the application window-less, it became a icon on the taskbar.

            If I press Right Shift+P, for example, I want it do a screenshot...

            But, if I'm on the Machintosh, or Tthe Ubuntu, I don't want do another application...

            Sorry my poor english.

              Ok, so system-wide.

              Qt itself does not support that (yet), but you can use the Qxt library that adds support for it using the "QxtGlobalShortcut":http://libqxt.bitbucket.org/doc/tip/qxtglobalshortcut.html class.

                  With all the respect I would like to ask dotK to avoid posting multiple times same topics. This thread seems to be identical to "Multiplataform Keyboard Hook":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/24144/
