setBuddy in QFormLayout() doesn't work - why?

PythonQTMarlem

Hello,
I want to link a QLabel with a QTextEdit() and I tried this:

layout = QFormLayout()
        label_commando = QLabel("Command:")
        self.text_edit = QTextEdit()
        label_commando.setBuddy(self.text_edit)

When I click on the QLabel with the computer mouse, the QTextEdit() doesn't get the input focus, why?

The buddy mechanism is intended for keyboard shortcuts; see https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qlabel.html#setBuddy .

Thank you. Here there is a big difference between web programming and Qt programming. Thats how it works:

label_command = QLabel("&command:")
self.text_edit = QTextEdit()
label_commando.setBuddy(self.text_edit)
