Catching Escape on a Popup

maxwell31

Hi,

I have a popup window where some settings can be done. Its close policy is set to CloseOnEscape, but if the user made a change, there should be a warning if he wants to apply those changes.

I wonder how I can achieve this. Using the closePolicy is closing the popup immediately. Using Keys.onEscapePressed does not seem to work, maybe because a popup is not an Item.

esc shortcut should work, can you show, what you tried?

Thanks for the Stackoverflow post. I tried

Shortcut {
    sequence: "Esc"
    onActivated: {
        console.log("Esc: cancel a few things")
        popup.close()
    }
}

but for some reason it does not get triggered if I hit Esc and I don't get the console message. I will try a minimal (not)working example and post it here

Hm, the problem seems to be that somewhere there is another shortcut with Escape.

  onActivatedAmbiguously: {
      console.log("we love ambiguity")
  }

If I use the above, I get the output.
