Alternative zoom in (ctrl + alt + plus)

[pokemonsrqt]

I know that I can use the following to trigger zoom in events.

Action {
    id: zoomIn
    text: qsTr("Zoom In")
    shortcut: StandardKey.ZoomIn
    onTriggered: ...
}

But is it possible to trigger an event when StandardKey.ZoomIn + altModifier key are pressed together?

I think it should accept QKeySequence-like strings (at least the docs suggest it does), so you can take a look at QKeySequence docs.

@pokemonsrqt doubtful, as the shift modfier is needed on some Keyboards to trigger the ZoomIn "standard key", but you can try it with a KeySequence, like @sierdzio said.

I have also tried to use Keys.onPressed instead of Action. But unfortunately the combination "control + shift + =" on a Mac with english keyboard makes event.key get the value of the = key instead of the + key. So I can't recreate the StandardKey.ZoomIn action from the key press event on Mac.

I will look at KeySequence, but I don't see now how I would get that to work.

An alternative would be to still use shortcut but query the keyboard modifiers of the app with a singleton type helper wrapping http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qguiapplication.html#keyboardModifiers
