Unsolved Shortcuts Qt

[Martinuccia_96]

I want to disable all the possible shortcuts in QTextEdit except the Ctrl+V and Ctrl+C ones.
Someone can help me. I can't do this.

Hi,

What other shortcuts are you referring to ?
What did you try ?

[Martinuccia_96]

I mean the Undo-Redo shortcuts for example.
I've tried to filter the event and ignore it. But it doesn't work

[SGaist]

The widget is equipped with an undo stack. Out of curiosity, why do you want to disable it ?

[Martinuccia_96]

I need to disable them for a project in which I need to process only Ctrl+V, Ctrl+C,Ctrl+X.
Whenever I use a combination of Ctrl+another key, I want that nothing happens in my QTextEdit.
I've tried to install an eventFilter into my class, and I've used the following code:

ui->textEdit->installEventFilter(this);

I've used the following code to ignore the event:

bool notepad::isAKeyToIgnore(QKeyEvent* event){
    return  event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier;
}

but however the events that I've inserted into the if statement are processed .

Did you also handle QShortCutEvent ?

[Martinuccia_96]

what do you mean?

@SGaist means besides QEvent::KeyPress, you can also try to handle QEvent::Shortcut in eventFilter.

@Martinuccia_96 if it's only the undo/redo shortcuts, you can simply disable the redo stack

and they should no longer have a functionality

Funny, I was looking for that property the other day and did not find it 😅
