    Hey!
    So I am building my browser and I was wondering if there was a way that I could add hotkeys. For example option/alt would highlight the searchbar, or command-f makes the window fullscreen.
    I have the fullscreen code right here:
    @void MainWindow::on_actionFullscreen_triggered()
    {
    setWindowState(Qt::WindowFullScreen);
    }
    @
    Is there a way to add hotkey functionality to this code? Thanks!

      Yes, you can use QAction or QShortcut.

        As 1+1=2 says you can set shortcut to action.
        @actionFullscreen - >setShortcut(QKeySequence(Qt::CTRL + Qt::Key_F));@
