<![CDATA[reading textEdit when QEvent::KeyPress is called]]>Hi, I am trying to read the textedit text whenever a new entry is added. I use:

    if(event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress ){
        QKeyEvent *kevent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);

         QString uu = ui->textEdit->toPlainText();
         qDebug() << uu ;
        }

uu does not include the latest key entry. seems the value of textEdit is not readily updated when this event occurs, and there is some sort of delay...

Is the QTextEdit::textChanged() signal not a better solution to detecting change in the editor?
