<![CDATA[[SOLVED] QKeySequence only for one widget]]>Hello everyone!
I have MainWindow with WebView in it, StatusBar and Subclassed QFrame widget on StatusBar.
in my QFrame widget I create action for key sequence as follow:
@
ExSearchBar::ExSearchBar(QWidget *parent):QFrame(parent)
{

.....

QKeySequence keys_esc(Qt::Key_Escape);
this->esc = new QAction(this);
connect(this->esc, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(search_hide()));
this->esc->setShortcut(keys_esc);
this->addAction(this->esc);
}
@

The problem is, what the action triggers even if currently active(focused) widget is WebView(or WebFrame)...
How can I restrict this QKeySequence action only for widget it is created for?(Should be triggered only when widget or its childs are in focus)

Thanks in advance!

Try changing it to 'Qt::WidgetShortcut'.

this->esc->setShortcutContext(Qt::WindowShortcut);
this->addAction(this->esc);
}@

Doesn't work... it is still triggered.. . and this->hasFocus() is false...
