<![CDATA[Shortcut how handle permanent key press action]]>I would like to use a shortcut on a PushButton ... PushButton is linked to a pressed action and released action function .... I make a shortcut with the F10 key .... but I would like the PushButto to remain in pressed state as long as the F10 key is pressed .... now if I hold down F10 I get a series of PushButton pressed and released actions ....

Override keypressEvent and keyReleaseEvent not help .....

thanks a lot for any cuggest

Start there or look at subclassing QPushbutton.

But that's the only way...
QShortcut cant differentiate between press and release...

Override press- and releaseEvent and keep your button in pressed/down state, until you get a F10-keyReleaseEvent.
