Detect "KeyDown" event in qml

MajidKamali

Hi
How can I detect whether a key (e.g. Qt.Key_Space) is down or not? (inside a FocusScope)
I want to get a single event for start of press only.
Keys.onPressed is not useful because it is triggered contiguously when I press and hold down space key, the same is true for Key.onReleased
Very strange behavior, because these handlers are for this purpose, I think :|
Qt 5.12.4

Thanks

You need to use the Keys.onRelease only. Since it is repeate key try to use isAutoRepeat set to true to detect that key is pressed continously.

using below code works

Keys.onReleased: {
    if(event.key === Qt.Key_Space && !event.isAutoRepeat) {
        // code here
    }
}
