QTableWidget: detect key that ended editing

[A Former User]

I'm using a QTableWidget. I am wondering if it would be possible for me to detect which key it was that ended editing of a cell e.g.

• Tab, shift-Tab
• Arrow up/down
• Return
  Thanks for any help.

With QTableWidget probably not, but when you have your own QTableView + model class then you could emit your own, custom signal when the editing of a cell/data is finished and check the pressed key at the same time to send it via your signal.
In theory :)
Not tested, but I can imagine it might work like this.

Or:
You use your own delegate editor widget and handle the editor events, which are able to handle exactly the keys you thought of.

Returns true if the given editor is a valid QWidget and the given event is handled; otherwise returns false. The following key press events are handled by default:

Tab
Backtab
Enter
Return
Esc

If the editor's type is QTextEdit or QPlainTextEdit then Tab, Backtab, Enter and Return keys are not handled.
