Alt + Key, how to create QKeySequence?

[SPlatten]

So in a previous post I've got a hot key working with:

int intHotKeyIdx(strText.indexOf(clsMainWnd::mscchHotKeyIndicator));
if ( intHotKeyIdx >= 0 ) {
    const QString cstrHotKey(strText.mid(intHotKeyIdx + 1, 1));
    const QKeySequence cobjKeySeq(cstrHotKey);
    pobjAction->setShortcut(cobjKeySeq);
}

Where clsMainWnd::mscchHotKeyIndicator is set to &.

This actually sets the hotkey to the letter only and doesn't require the Alt key to be depressed to action. I am now trying to fix this and failing:

int intHotKeyIdx(strText.indexOf(clsMainWnd::mscchHotKeyIndicator));
if ( intHotKeyIdx >= 0 ) {
    const QString cstrHotKey(strText.mid(intHotKeyIdx + 1, 1));
    QByteArray arybytHotKey(cstrHotKey.toAscii());
    const int cintHotKey(arybytHotKey[0]);
    const int cintAlt(Qt::ALT);
    pobjAction->setShortcut(cintAlt + cintHotKey);
}

Could you try it with Ctrl instead of Alt? I think that Alt + 1..9 are used to switch between tabs.

Can you try this?

QString qShortcut = "Ctrl+";
qShortcut.append(cstrHotKey);

@ollarch , I just tried:

setShortcut("Alt+1");

It didn't work.

Where do you connect the QAction signal "triggered"?

@SPlatten said in Alt + Key, how to create QKeySequence?:

It didn't work.

QObject::connect(pobjAction, SIGNAL(triggered())
                                ,pobjLambda, SLOT(lambdaSlot()));

If I change the hot key to just '1' it works but I want the Alt+1 combo.

[ollarch]

On wich OS? Maybe Alt+1 is OS reserved.

[SPlatten]

Its on Linux and Alt+1 is just an example, the hot keys could be any letter and Alt combo.

@ollarch , yes, that works, thank you.
