Matching keyEvent against Standard key sequences

Perdrix

Is this correct (e.g.)

const QKeySequence received(keyEvent->key() | keyEvent->modifiers());

//
// Does the received key sequence match any of the key sequences for 
// "Select All"
//
const QList<QKeySequence> selectAll{ QKeySequence::keyBindings(QKeySequence::SelectAll) };
for (i = 0; i < selectAll.size(); i++)
{
	//
	// Does the key sequence (or single key) we received
	// match one of the platform specific key sequences 
	// for "Select All"
	//
	if (received == selectAll[i])
	{
              // Do something
              return true;
        }
}

Thanks

And later on I found this:

QKeyEvent::matches(QKeySequence::StandardKey( key)

which of course what's needed!!

Looks like it should work, did you try it? I assume you are not showing the whole function and have a return false; at the end if the key sequence did not match. If it's not working, I would check to see that your selectAll list is not empty for some reason (and/or add debugging output).

Turns out in this case I didn't need it as a table view already handles Select All so the code never got used.
