MessageDialog responsive to keyboard events.

[EmilieG]

Hello,

Is there a way to have a MessageDialog responsive to keyboard events ?
I tried to catch a return key signal (like the following snippet ) but it's not working.

MessageDialog {

    id: failed_popup
    property string message : failed_popup.text
    property string errorTitle : failed_popup.title
    property alias icon : failed_popup.icon
    title: errorTitle
    icon: StandardIcon.Warning
    standardButtons: StandardButton.Ok
    text: message

    Keys.onReturnPressed: {
        console.log(" Return pressed ")
        accepted();
    }
}

I know I could use another QML component like window but I was expected this to be working in MessageDialog directly as I don't need anything more complicated..
Am I missing something ?

@EmilieG that should work, are you sure you're pressing return and not enter ? that can vary from region to region and keyboard to keyboard and os to os

also try forcing active focus on the MessageDialog

activeFocus:true

because maybe another component (for example the button) has active focus after displaying the Dialog

@J-Hilk Thanks for your answer. There is no activeFocus or focus property for the MessageDialog, so it's not compiling..

@EmilieG
ok, I tried your example code and I actually get the following message:

Could not attach Keys property to: DefaultMessageDialog_QMLTYPE_35_QML_37(0x7fcb04c5fe40) is not an Item

so, you can't catch the key event 🤷‍♂️

You could possibly install an eventFilter in main.cpp that should work
