I have a QPlainTextEdit and I want to limit the number of characters that the user can enter to 200. I took a quick look at the documentation and didn't find anything to help me. How do I set a character limit in QPlainTextEdit?

Additional to @DoubleFelix's find, untested but I assume you could also limit the number characters by placing a suitable QValidator on theQPlainTextEdit. If that works, you shouldn't have to deal with key press events.
