MenuBar Alt-key problem

[skammers]

Hey!

I have a MenuBar containing some Menu Elements. In each Menu element you have some MenuItem elements.
The weird thing is that when I am using my program, and press the Alt-key, I guess to focus is automatic set to the first Menu item in the menu bar, becuase if I use Key-up or Key-down the Menu item opens. But when it is open, you cant do anything more, the key-up and key-down are not doing anything more. Neither is the tab button. To continue using my program I need to use the mouse and click outside of the Menu.

I want to disable the Alt-key so that it does not behave like this.

Any tips?

Override the keyPressEvent and do not pass it through.

I cant get that to work? How would you do it? I tried

@
Keys.onPressed: {
if(event.key === Qt.Key_Alt){
console.log("Alt pressed");
}
}
@

but it still moves the focus to the menu bar..

in addition to printing out "Alt pressed", so it does both...
