Catching "+" key symbol from Mac keyboard
-
Hi!
Currently I am trying to detect a key press event, specifically I want to catch the "+" character. I am doing a basic proof from Mac using a keyboard in Spanish (https://pixabay.com/static/uploads/photo/2013/07/13/10/41/apple-157580_960_720.png)The funny thing is that I can capture any key event but "+". I am using the constant "Qt::Key_Plus" to catch it, nevertheless when I press "+" no key event is generated at all.
I wonder if someone else can confirm if this is an specific Qt bug either for Mac or for my key layout. Thanks.

in case you haven't done yet: you could install an eventfilter on the QApplication and output the attributes of every keyevent.
At least this excludes the possibility that the keyevent for the "+" key is already consumed by another object. -

Hi,
I tested keyReleaseEvent on Ubuntu 14.04, using Qt 5.3.0: both plus (from numbers and num pad) are recognized on an azerty keyboard.

Initially I was assuming that there was a Qt bug related to the keyboard event implementation specifically for Mac. But, in the end I decided to try a basic program ("hello world" style) to catch keyboard events so I could prove that actually the error was on my project source code. In my design, there are "key catchers" in several layers, so the "Plus" event was being ignored from a high level class I haven't checked before.
Thank you anyway for your help! :)

exactly to such ("consuming object") was i referring in my first post
